Odds of playing high-level, competitive singles tennis after reverse (dominant) shoulder replacement surgery? thanks for your time...
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rehab and PT: will be the mainstays of your recovery and subsequent training with a tennis pro will determine your level of competitiveness. I would suggest that 70 is just a number and "it takes a village" : orthopedics, rehab, PT and a personal tennis trainer.I personally went though this with my knee: main issue: if I wear a knee brace, shots are returned wide to my weaker side: consider Kinesio tape.
