    Compromise on gentle stretches and sports massage at home. Or schedule rest and recovery as an essential part of fitness.

    If you’re swinging and jumping about 5/6 days a week at tennis you may already be at risk of developing shin splints or repetitive strain (tennis elbow)

      I have about 5 different injuries i’m carrying :(

      Achilles Tendonitis (more on the left leg)

      Right knee tendon inflammation

      Wrist tendon inflammation

      Right ankle ATFL (I tore the ATFL late last year but its still giving me some grief)

      Most of these are tennis related injuries though, but I have them under control with proper stretching / gym routine!

        Oof yeah, make sure you treat those and allow some recuperation between matches! It’s admirable to be active but rest isn’t laziness
