Lateral movement, fast pivots, and stop-start sprints put tennis players at risk of a range of lower limb injuries, especially to the ankles and knees.
Common Tennis Injuries:
- Ankle sprains or instability
- Achilles issues
- Knee pain (patellar tendinopathy or Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome)
- Plantar fasciitis
Strength is particularly important in managing these fast-changing directions and speeds. Our Sports Podiatrist will use state-of-the-art equipment to assess and identify any unilateral differences in balance and co-ordination, anomalies in foot and leg mechanics, assess your footwear (stability is critical), and guide your return to play with strengthening and proprioceptive training to avoid re-injury.
