Get in touch with Dorset Sports Physio to find out more about physiotherapy, coaching and injury prevention.
Dorset Sports Physio provides specialist assessment, diagnosis and hands-on treatment for racquet sport injuries, serving Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. The service is led by David Ruth, a chartered physiotherapist specialising in pickleball, padel and tennis injuries. No GP referral is needed.
Whether you are carrying a long-standing tennis elbow, a shoulder niggle that flares every time you serve, or an Achilles that stiffened up after your last match, treatment starts from the very first appointment. David combines clinical assessment with a deep understanding of racquet sport mechanics, so rehab plans are specific to your sport, your position on court and your goals, not a generic exercise sheet.
Most racquet sport injuries are overuse injuries that build slowly and are easy to play through, until they are not. Early physiotherapy intervention gets to the root cause rather than managing symptoms, shortens recovery time, and reduces the chance of the same injury recurring. Dorset Sports Physio supports players across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole with assessment and rehabilitation tailored to the demands of their sport.
A thorough physical assessment identifies the true cause of your pain. You leave your first appointment knowing exactly what is wrong and what to do about it.
Progressive rehabilitation and sport-specific testing help you build the strength, movement and confidence needed to return to competitive play.
Recurring elbow, shoulder or knee problems usually have an underlying cause. Treatment addresses mechanics and load, not just the painful area, so injuries stop coming back.
