Pickleball Rehab & Performance Specialists
Dr. Frank Allen, Dr. Cory Hegedus & Dr. Paul Seguin are your Sarasota-Area pickleball rehab & performance specialists.
Dr. Cory is a player himself as well and appreciates the fact that the game gives so many people an opportunity to be active and enjoy themselves while doing so. Dr. Paul specializes in treating overhead athletes and racquet sport athletes, and he has over 15 years of experience working with high-level athletic individuals to help them achieve results far beyond their expectations.
Dr. Frank fell in love with Pickleball in 2019. He moved from Jacksonville to Sarasota in September of 2020. He felt that the pickleball community in Southwest Florida needed someone they could rely on to help them avoid injury and improve their physical capabilities. That is when he got the idea to cater specifically to that Southwest Florida pickleball community and merge two of his passions into one as The Pickleball PT.
