Tennis & Pickleball Rehab in Jacksonville Beach, FL: Get Back in the Game with Direct Orthopedic

Whether you’re a seasoned tennis player or have recently picked up pickleball, these sports are fantastic for staying active and social. However, the repetitive motions and quick movements can sometimes lead to injuries that sideline you from the game you love. At Direct Orthopedic in Jacksonville Beach, FL, we specialize in helping athletes recover from tennis and pickleball-related injuries, ensuring a safe and effective return to the court.

Understanding Tennis and Pickleball Injuries

Both tennis and pickleball involve dynamic movements that can strain various parts of the body. Common injuries include:

  • Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Pain on the outer part of the elbow due to repetitive wrist and arm motions.

  • Rotator Cuff Injuries: Shoulder pain and weakness from overhead swings.

  • Knee Strains: Resulting from sudden stops and directional changes.

  • Ankle Sprains: Due to quick lateral movements.

  • Wrist Injuries: From repetitive strokes and improper technique.

Understanding the mechanics of these injuries is crucial for effective rehabilitation and prevention of future issues.

I was referred to Jonson and am so grateful. He is so welcoming and friendly. And he is incredibly knowledgeable. He definitely understands the body and how it operates. But what I loved the most was how he got creative with the exercises I needed to rebuild my strength in a way that truly fits into my lifestyle. So for me, my exercises looked more like a yoga flow than static exercises. YAY. I got to keep doing what I love while at the same time rehabbing my body. Highly recommend this practice and Jonson.

Dr. Jonson and his entire Direct Orthopedic team are incredible, he spent a lot of time better understanding my injury and thoroughly explained what was going on with my body and the appropriate exercises to help ease the pain and prevent future injuries. I’ve been to a lot of other physical therapists where they barely spend any time with you and give you exercises to do while seeing lots of other patients. That was not the case with Direct and can’t recommend their services enough. Thank you again for all your help.
