Get ready to hit the court; it’s officially tennis season!
We love this sport, but here’s something to keep in mind: when it comes to tennis injuries, the lower limbs are the most commonly affected areas.
This is due to the fast-paced nature of the sport, which involves sprinting, stopping, pivoting, and pounding.
To minimise your risk of injury, here are some tips for tennis:
🎾 If you have any pre-existing illnesses or injuries, consult a medical professional before hitting the court.
🎾 Always warm up, stretch, and cool down before and after playing.
🎾 Engage in conditioning and training exercises that specifically target the muscles and movements used in tennis.
Looking for further support? Take the first step towards a healthy tennis season and schedule a check-up with one of our podiatrists. They’ll make sure you’re in top shape for the court!
