Support your recovery plan
Tennis and racquet sports combine explosive power, rapid direction changes, and repetitive overhead movements that place unique stress on your shoulders, elbows, knees, and back. When you develop tennis elbow, rotator cuff pain, or knee tendonitis that limits your ability to serve or cover the court in Elm Grove, you need treatment that understands the biomechanics of your sport.
Ares Physical Therapy treats tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, rotator cuff injuries, shoulder impingement, labral tears, wrist tendonitis, lower back pain from serving, knee pain, Achilles tendonitis, ankle sprains, hip flexor strains, and plantar fasciitis. A shoulder injury from tennis differs from a shoulder injury in swimming. The rotational forces, deceleration patterns, and court surface impacts all require expert assessment. We tailor treatment to the specific demands of racquet sports.

Racquet sport athletes often have questions about returning to play, managing chronic issues, and preventing recurrence. These answers provide clarity on what to expect during treatment.
Ares Physical Therapy provides one-on-one care in a private environment with no crowded clinics or assembly-line treatment. All rehabilitation is performed by a board-certified Doctor of Physical Therapy who brings specialized experience working with racquet sport athletes. Whether managing tennis elbow, recovering from shoulder surgery, or addressing knee pain limiting your court time, Ares Physical Therapy in Elm Grove delivers expert care tailored to your sport.
Do you treat pickleball and racquetball players too?
Yes. The same movement demands around rotation, acceleration, deceleration, shoulder load, and elbow stress apply across racquet sports.
Can therapy help tennis elbow?
Yes. Treatment addresses tendon tolerance, grip demands, shoulder mechanics, wrist strength, and workload so symptoms do not keep returning.
Sometimes play is modified, but the goal is to keep you active when possible while symptoms calm and capacity improves.
Yes. Racquet sports depend on the whole chain, so treatment considers hips, trunk rotation, shoulder control, and arm mechanics.
How do I return to competition safely?
Your plan progresses strength, hitting volume, court movement, and symptom tolerance before full return to match play.
Start your therapy now
Your treatment in Elm Grove includes sport-specific movement analysis, including serve mechanics and stroke patterns. We use manual therapy to restore shoulder, elbow, and spine mobility, and dry needling to release chronic muscle tension in your rotator cuff, forearm, and legs. Cupping therapy improves tissue quality after repetitive strain.
After treatment, you will notice improved serve speed without shoulder pain, better court coverage without knee discomfort, and the ability to play multiple matches without flare-ups. Treatment does not stop at eliminating pain. We identify the movement dysfunction, strength imbalance, or technical flaw that caused your injury and address it to prevent recurrence.
Your program includes progressive strengthening for rotator cuff stability, core control, and lower body power. We develop rotational power to improve performance and reduce injury risk. Court-based return-to-play protocols mirror match demands so you transition back to competition confidently and prepared.
