Golf & Pickleball Injuries in Ankeny, IA
Get Back on the Course. Get Back on the Court.
Golf and pickleball place unique demands on your body. Repetitive swings, rotation, quick changes of direction, and repeated loading can expose weaknesses or movement limitations that eventually lead to pain or injury.
Whether you’re trying to get through your next round or get back on the court, treatment should be built around the activities you actually want to return to.

Your Sport Matters
Treatment Should Reflect How You Move.
Golf and pickleball aren’t just everyday movements. Your body has to repeatedly produce and absorb force while maintaining balance, control, and coordination.
We look at the factors that may be contributing to your symptoms and how they relate to the demands of your sport.
Treatment may address:
- Mobility limitations
- Strength and stability
- Rotational movement
- Balance and control
- Repetitive loading
- Movement mechanics
- Tolerance for sport-specific activity
From Pain to Performance
Build Your Way Back.
The goal isn’t simply to get you comfortable enough to play.
It’s to progressively rebuild your ability to practice, play, and handle the demands of your sport.
Your plan can progress from restoring comfortable movement to strengthening the areas that need it and eventually returning to the movements and workload your game requires.
Stay Active. Play With Confidence.
Whether you’re a weekend golfer, regular pickleball player, or simply want to stay active without constantly worrying about your injury, we’ll help you develop a path forward.

“Dr Stewart is amazing! I have experienced pain for over 5 years and have tried acupuncture, massages, other forms of physical therapy, several injections, needling, and have gone to countless specialists. Working with Dr Stewart has helped me gain mobility back and I finally have relief in dealing with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Josh is very personable, listens, and has been awesome to work with!”

“After much frustration with doctors and therapist that did not know what they were dealing with and just writing the situation off. I decided to wait for my osteoporosis appointment to discuss with him. This doctor was concerned that I may have fractured my SI joint and ordered an MRI. FINALLY. As I was waiting for the results to be had – a friend spotted Steward Sport & Spine Physical Therapy on Facebook and shared with me. After opening the website, it didn’t take long to see myself in every word Dr. Josh had spoken. I quickly booked an appointment. The best thing I did for myself. After following Dr. Josh’s direction on a program of daily exercises. I now can get in and out of my vehicle, drive some distance without pain. Not to mention stand, sit, and climb the staircase without pain. Must say that I can go days NOW without pain. However, if I find myself feeling the slightest bit sore, I know exactly what to do and how. Doctor Josh has been a godsend. I cannot talk more highly of him and have recommended his practice and services to many!”
