Tennis and pickleball pain and injuries
Tennis and pickleball physiotherapy in Blainville and on the North Shore
Racquet sports combine fast footwork, rotation, repeated hitting and overhead movements. Symptoms can build with volume or appear after a sudden movement.
What we assess in tennis and pickleball
Pain location, the movement that triggers it and how symptoms respond to load help guide the assessment.
Elbow pain
Repeated hitting and gripping can produce elbow pain. Explore tennis elbow and arm and hand pain.
Shoulder pain on serve or smash
Overhead movements can load the shoulder and rotator cuff.
Wrist and hand pain
Grip, ball impact and repeated strokes can irritate the wrist or hand. See De Quervain tenosynovitis.
Knee or ankle pain
Lateral movement, acceleration and braking can load the knee, ankle and Achilles tendon.
The movements that matter for your return
Rehabilitation should reflect the real demands of your sport, not only whether pain is present at rest.
Return to tennis or pickleball, sport and performance
Progression may include footwork, change of direction, serving, smashing, endurance and a gradual return to match volume.
Return to your sport with a clear plan
A physiotherapy assessment can identify what is limiting you, rebuild capacity and progress toward the movements that matter for your sport.
