TENNIS INJURIES

“I am a tennis player and play an average of 3 to 4 days a week. In the last couple of months, I have experienced severe lower back to the point where I couldn’t walk 1 block let alone play my tennis. Went to an orthopedic doctor, had an MRI, he suggested surgery or an epidural. Had two epidurals, they helped the sharp pain but the back was still not good enough to play tennis. A good friend told me about Dr. Miller. I made an appointment on a Monday, Dr. Miller checked over my MRI and said he would get me back on the courts. That Monday he worked with me then gave me an exercise to do at home I made another appointment to come back on Wednesday, he would then let me know on Wednesday if I could play on tennis Thursday. We worked out that Wednesday and he told me to go for it on Thursday. I have been playing tennis ever since and feeling great. Worked another couple of days with Dr. Miller and then was released. I told him I have a personal trainer 2 days a week, so he e-mailed my trainer with the exercises that work for me. I can’t believe that in less than 1 week working with Dr. Miller I was back playing tennis. Doctor Miller is my hero, I am now a happy camper doing what I love to do again.”

“Dr. Ron Miller is the best! I play tennis regularly and do yoga to maintain flexibility. Several months ago I developed shoulder pain that was limiting my physical activity, computer work, and even sleep. I tried sports massages, a chiropractic adjustment, and when those didn’t work, I went to my primary physician. He suggested MRI, cortisone shots, and even scoping it, but I was more interested in trying physical therapy first. I found Pursuit Physical Therapy by searching online. The website focuses on results, and that is what I wanted. One week after the first treatment I was playing tennis with much more strength in my serve and groundstrokes. After just three sessions we’re done! I am pain-free, my upper body mobility has increased dramatically, and I’m now doing the strengthening exercises that Ron (Dr. Miller) gave me. I am so excited about this and thankful for finding Pursuit Physical Therapy. He takes all the time that’s necessary during the free evaluation to pinpoint the exact source of your problem and then addresses it with therapy and specific exercises to do at home. He really listens to your feedback and is genuinely committed to your healing process.
I’m now in my 60’s and I compete in tennis against people in their 40’s and 50’s! Ron’s treatment has kept me active and competitive in tennis league playing 5x week. He has allowed me to prevent injuries from happening, increase my fitness, and increase my strength. His approach allows me to keep progressing on the court, moving better, and hitting stronger. I highly recommend him, not only to resolve your pain but also if you want to stay active and feel better.

“In October 2017, I began having heel pain. I am a tennis player and I had taken the summer off for vacation and other interests; so when I began grinding it out on the tennis courts after my 3-month hiatus, it didn’t surprise me that I was having some aches and pains. I kept playing. The pain increased; I wrapped my foot, heel, and ankle with tape. I kept playing. The pain continued and became constant; I started getting regular leg and foot massages. I kept playing. I decided that this pain was my new normal and if I wanted to play tennis, I would just have to deal with it. I suffered from this pain for 10 months! It became so severe and so constant that I dreaded getting out of bed in the morning; that first step was excruciating!
Finally, a teammate told me about Dr. Ron Miller at Pursuit Physical Therapy. Since I had tried everything else, I made the appointment. First, I was amazed that there was no wait time. I was scheduled immediately. Then when I went in, Dr. Ron asked me a few questions, listened intently, and knew exactly what to do. One Hour later, I felt a difference. I had suffered for 10 months and he made a difference in ONE HOUR!
It took a total of eight sessions to completely alleviate my pain. Again, I had terrible heel pain for 10 months. I feared that this was a new, annoying part of my life. I had decided that if I wanted to play tennis, this was just part of it. Every time I stood up I would have to grit my teeth through the first few steps. It was That Painful!
Enter, Dr. Ron and Pursuit Physical Therapy. Now, I am completely pain free! I play competitive tennis 5 days a week, and I run 20 – 25 miles a week. Dr. Ron is AMAZING! If you are having any pain at all, don’t wait! Call Dr. Ron Miller at Pursuit Physical Therapy! He CAN HELP! I cannot believe I waited so long before getting his help. He takes the time to hear you. He takes great care in your treatment. And, he explains every step of the way. My teammates and I call him “The Magician”. Don’t wait! Don’t live with pain! Call Dr. Ron Miller and Pursuit Physical Therapy!”
