In this episode Steven and Alex sat down with the brilliant Dr. Ioonna Felix. Dr. Felix is a board certified sports and orthopedic physical therapist. She has experience as Site Manager at Hospital for Special Surgery (having led multiple clinical teams and rehabilitative/performance services) and has recently been brought on as Regional Director for the Eastern Section USTA. 

Dr. Felix delves into some of the most common tennis injuries both professional and amateur tennis players face throughout their tennis careers. Discussing common injuries like the tennis elbow, she provides insight into how tennis players can avoid such common injuries and what players should do in order to properly rehabilitate the injury once it's there. Dr. Felix also delves into how tennis has shifted from a physical performance and injury prevention perspective. She explains how top players like Novak Djokovic are able to maintain such high performance at an older age and remain relatively injury free.
