🎾 Preventing Shoulder Injuries in Tennis & Overhead Sports
These exercises:
✔️ Strengthen the rotator cuff in a more functional way
✔️ Improve shoulder & thoracic mobility
✔️ Address posterior shoulder tightness
✔️ Engage the core, back, glutes & whole kinetic chain
✔️ Improve balance, flexibility & coordination

🎯 Not just for tennis
These principles also apply to other overhead sports like water polo, handball, volleyball, and other throwing sports.

📍 Exercises should be individualised and progressed appropriately. A physiotherapist can help tailor a program specific to your sport, workload, and goals.

🎾 Preventing Shoulder Injuries in Tennis & Overhead Sports

Shoulder injuries are one of the most common problems in tennis and overhead sports — and many are due to overuse rather than sudden injury.

📊 Research shows:
• Around 66% of tennis injuries are caused by overuse rather than trauma
• Up to 50% of middle-aged players experience shoulder pain

❓ Why does this happen?

✔️ Repetitive overhead motions (serves, smashes)
✔️ High forces as the shoulder rapidly accelerates and decelerates the arm
✔️ Racquet weight increases stress on the shoulder joint

🔄 Warm-ups that mimic sport = fewer injuries

Evidence supports functional, movement-based warm-ups that improve:
• Dynamic shoulder stability
• Neuromuscular control
• Strength through sport-specific movement
• Coordination and proprioception

📉 One study showed athletes completing a functional exercise program had:
➡️ 28% lower risk of shoulder problems
➡️ 22% lower risk of significant shoulder injuries

💥 Preventing & Managing Non-Specific Low Back Pain 💥

- 🏃‍♀️ Exercise is key (and one size doesn’t fit all)
Strong evidence supports exercise as first-line treatment for non-specific low back pain:
• Walking, Pilates
• Strengthening the core, glutes & posterior chain
• Trunk control and endurance exercises
• Aerobic and general exercise

- 👐 Exercise + manual therapy = best results
Hands-on treatments like mobilisation, massage, or dry needling can help with short-term pain relief — but they work best when paired with active exercise.

- 🔥 Other helpful strategies
• Heat packs for short-term relief
• Good sleep habits & stress management
• Education and self-management strategies

- 🧠 Remember:
Back pain is influenced by many factors — not just tissues or posture. Pain doesn’t mean damage. Staying active and confident with movement helps recovery.

- 📍 Our physios focus on personalised, active care to reduce pain, improve function, and keep you moving safely and confidently.

💥 Preventing & Managing Non-Specific Low Back Pain 💥

- Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek healthcare — and the good news is, your back is strong and made to move.

- ✅ There is NO “perfect” posture
Research shows there’s no single posture that prevents back pain.

👉 What helps most? Changing positions regularly and avoiding staying in one position for too long.

- 🔄 Movement is medicine
Your spine is safe to bend, twist, lift and load. Movement will not cause damage — even if it feels sore at first.
• Explore different positions
• Gradually return to normal activities
• Avoid prolonged bed rest
