  • Forehand technique adjustments when returning from a wrist injury in tennis

    To adapt your forehand safely after a wrist injury, reduce wrist motion, shift power to legs and trunk, and progress volume slowly. Start with pain-free mini-swings, then short-court, then full-court at controlled speed. Use taping or a brace if prescribed, and stop immediately with sharp or increasing pain. Core adjustments to your forehand after a…

  • Specific warm-ups to protect elbow and wrist before an intense match

    Specific warm-ups for elbow and wrist before an intense match should prioritise pain-free movement, gradual load and sport-specific activation. Focus on controlled range-of-motion, light isometric holds and progressive swings with your racket. Combine this with simple self-screening, appropriate supports and a short 10-minute routine to reduce strain in tennis and pádel. Pre-match Protective Objectives for…

  • Forearm strength training to prevent tennis elbow: role and key exercises

    Forearm strengthening helps distribute load away from the lateral epicondyle, improving tendon capacity and grip endurance so you can hit and serve with less risk of overload. Done correctly, it is one of the most effective tools to prevent tennis elbow, but it must respect pain limits, gradual progression and existing medical conditions. Why forearm…

  • Tennis player wrist injuries: differences in high-level singles and doubles

    High-level singles overloads the wrist with repeated high-intensity strokes, while doubles loads are shorter and more variable but include more reaction volleys and awkward reaches. Singles players more often develop chronic tendinopathies and TFCC overload; doubles specialists see more acute sprains and impingement from sudden direction changes, low volleys and late contact. Summary of wrist…

  • How core strength and scapular control reduce load on the elbow and wrist

    Core and scapular strength reduce elbow and wrist load by stabilising the trunk and shoulder blade so force from the legs can transfer efficiently into the racket or ball. When this chain is weak, the forearm overworks, increasing stress on tendons and joints, especially in repetitive, high‑speed sports. Core and Scapular Principles That Reduce Elbow/Wrist…

  • Practical tennis elbow rehabilitation: exercise progression after injury

    A safe, practical rehabilitation plan for tennis elbow starts with pain control, gentle mobility and isometric loading, then progresses to eccentric-concentric strength, functional grip work and finally sport‑specific drills. Progress only if pain stays ≤3/10, strength and range improve, and everyday tasks and racket use feel easier and more controlled. Progression Summary for Lateral Epicondylalgia…

  • Joint warm-up importance in preventing chronic elbow injuries

    Elbow-focused joint warm-ups are short, structured sequences that prepare tendons, muscles, and nerves for load. They reduce stiffness, improve force control, and help prevent chronic elbow pain when done consistently and within pain-free limits. They are not a cure-all and must sit inside broader rehabilitation and load-management plans. Essential Points on Elbow-Focused Joint Warm-Ups Joint…

  • Tennis racket strings and tension: how equipment directly affects elbow injuries

    Por qué tu raqueta puede ser tu mejor aliada… o tu peor enemigo Muchos jugadores creen que el codo de tenista aparece solo por “mala técnica” o por jugar demasiado. En la pista se habla poco de algo igual de importante: la combinación de raqueta, cordaje y tensión. Un marco demasiado rígido, con un cordaje…
