When bigfoe1998 was having elbow pain last year, he sought the help of orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Wiemi Douoguih, and physical therapist, Lance Kelly. They set out on a strenuous six-week regimen of conditioning and strength training that challenged Tiafoe, especially in the beginning, but kept his pain manageable. Lance aimed to eliminate weaknesses that Tiafoe developed compensating for his sore elbow. “He made me go from thinking physical therapists are guys that just make you feel good to, like, they’re actually there to work you out,” Tiafoe said. “He hit his fastest serve at his first tournament back at 141 miles an hour,” Lance said. “Those gains weren’t just about getting him better but making him stronger than he was before.” That’s what PT is about!!! 🎾🔥 Many thanks to our entire physical therapy team for the wonderful work they do for our patients.
