In March 2015, I blew out my shoulder playing tennis. I have been playing tennis since I was 8 years old, so the idea of not playing tennis due to a shoulder injury was not an option. In May 2015, I had surgery on my shoulder to repair my rotator cuff, and after nearly a year of PT, I was back on the court. Now my shoulder is better than it was before my injury, and I am back to enjoying playing the sport I love. Just this past December, I took a vacation to Stowe, Vermont, in which I skied in the morning, and played tennis in the afternoon, and had a fantastic time. I am grateful, and very appreciative of Dr. Fealy's great skill, and the skill of his team, including Vincent Vizzo, along with my PT at Nola in New York, in getting me back to playing tennis.
