A little transparency from your local pickleball PT 🎾
I'm Dr. Makkeda. I'm a Board-Certified Orthopaedic Physical Therapist with 20+ years in the Phoenix area.
I also play pickleball.
I share that because I think it matters. When you come to me with pickleball shoulder, I'm not just recalling it from a textbook. I understand the mechanics, the rotational demands, the way your whole body loads differently on a hard drive versus a d**k rally.
I've felt the frustration of having to cut back because something hurts. I know what it costs.
That's why I'm particularly passionate about helping pickleball players specifically.
If you're dealing with pain that's changing your game — whether it's your knee, shoulder, elbow, hip, or back — let's talk.
My free 30-minute virtual consultation is the starting point. We'll have a real conversation, I'll listen to what's going on, and I'll tell you honestly whether I can help and what that would look like.
No pressure. No obligation. Just a board-certified specialist who plays the same sport.
