The importance of Tennis Exercises

The tennis season traditionally starts with the first big grand slam in Australia. For many amatuer players the recent warmer weather has meant returning to the court. So it is time for a friendly reminder from your resident physiotherapist to always warm up properly by doing tennis warm-up exercises before you start playing tennis.

Tennis exercises and supports

Without performing a proper warm-up your muscles will be vulnerable to injury. All too often players are so eager to start playing that they forget or don’t bother with tennis warm up exercises. Remember, those simple stretches and tennis exerices really do help prevent injuries. Also consider using elbow and knee supports if you are prone to weakness in those areas. Prevention really is better than cure.
