Just when everything seems to flow together with precision - perfect backhands, smashing forehands, killer serves - that’s when the unexpected happens…a slipped disc, tennis elbow, or soreness in the muscle.

So what do you do to keep those annoying injuries in check? The key is to stretch prior to any match or practice session.

One of the fundamentals of stretching is doing so BEFORE and AFTER match play or training. You stretch before to loosen up the major muscles and stretch afterwards to keep soreness from forming.

Stretching will not only prevent you from becoming injured but will help you with your mobility and cut down the feeling of being sore after.
