Tuesday Tennis Tip: Preventing Injury Tips

Warming up properly before playing and cooling down afterwards can help prevent tennis elbow. You may also need to have your tennis stroke — particularly your backhand, which is especially taxing to tendons — evaluated by an expert. He can help correct a faulty technique and may advise equipment changes, such as a looser-strung racquet or one with a smaller head. Keeping your wrists straight during any repetitive activity — whether it be hitting a tennis groundstroke or hammering a nail — and stopping play as soon as you feel pain are other steps you can take to prevent tennis elbow from returning.
