Meet Scott, Our New Physiotherapist at Chipping Norton Clinic
Tennis is a fantastic sport, but it comes with its fair share of injuries. Common tennis injuries include tennis elbow, shoulder strains, wrist sprains, and knee issues. These injuries can be painful and limit your time on the court. Understanding these injuries and knowing how to treat them is crucial for every tennis enthusiast.
Physiotherapy is essential in treating these injuries. At Breakspeare Clinics, our physiotherapists focus on reducing pain, restoring mobility, and preventing future injuries. Our new physiotherapist, Scott Phillips, at our Chipping Norton clinic, has a special interest in tennis injuries. Scott uses personalized treatment plans, including specific exercises and manual therapies, to help you recover quickly and get back on the court.
Common Tennis Injuries
Tennis Elbow: This is the most common injury, caused by repetitive motion of the arm and wrist.
Shoulder Strains: Overhead serves and volleys can strain the rotator cuff.
Wrist Sprains: Quick, sharp movements can lead to wrist injuries.
Knee Injuries: Sudden stops and starts, along with quick directional changes, can strain the knees.
Preventing Tennis Injuries
Preventing injuries is just as important as treating them. Here are some exercises recommended by our physiotherapists:
Rotator Cuff Strengthening: Enhances shoulder stability.
Wrist Flexor/Extensor Stretching: Reduces strain on the wrist.
Core Strengthening: Improves overall stability.
Hamstring Stretches: Prevents knee and lower back injuries.
Calf Raises: Strengthens ankles for better support.
