We evaluate your serve, swing, and footwork together.
Shoulders and elbows carry most of the load in racquet sports. A cause-first evaluation looks at your serve, swing, and shoulder mechanics together.
What It Is
Tennis elbow, a cranky shoulder, an ankle that rolls chasing a wide ball. Racquet sports load the same joints over and over. Pickleball’s quick starts and stops add their own stress on the knees and Achilles.
A cause-first evaluation looks at your serve, swing, and footwork together, not just the joint that hurts. Dr. Peter Dionisopoulos, PT, DPT finds where the mechanics are asking too much.
Your plan gets you back on the court, one-on-one, every visit. The same strain won’t be waiting for you in your next match.

Questions, Answered
It depends on how the injury is responding to play. Dr. Peter Dionisopoulos will tell you specifically what to modify. Often you can keep playing in some capacity while the plan addresses the cause.
Not necessarily. Pickleball’s quick starts and stops load the knees, hips, and Achilles differently. But the shoulder and elbow strain from serving and swinging often carries right over. A cause-first evaluation looks at your specific mechanics either way.
It depends on your plan. We verify your exact benefits before your first visit, so there’s no surprise on your bill. Questions before then? Call us at 401-702-0293.
