Tennis Performance & Pain Relief

This performance assessment is for tennis and pickleball athletes alike. If you are struggling with injury, we'll find the cause of the pain.

This performance assessment is for tennis and pickleball athletes alike. If you are struggling with injury, we'll find the cause of the pain. If you are struggling with shot or serve accuracy, consistency, or power despite practicing and coaching, we'll identify what physically is limiting your technique. If you simply want to play to your full potential, we'll identify physical opportunities for improvement.

There are many technically correct ways to play. There's only one efficient way for an individual athlete to play, and it is based on what you physically can do.

Racquet sports have unique movement patterns that an athlete must be physically capable of performing. The RacquetFit assessment examines how your entire body moves, joint by joint. Then Dr. Rob gives you a complete plan to improve any body limitations holding back your game. If a structural limitation (not fixable without surgery) is identified, you will be advised on how this will affect your technique and how to build injury resiliency despite your limitation.

For tennis players, you will film your serve, and Dr. Rob will analyze your serve mechanics and match your movement to the results of your physical screen. This body-serve connection lets Dr. Rob guide you through a plan to reach your tennis potential. The results will be communicated to your coach or trainer to bridge the gap from rehab to performance.
