Common Tennis Injuries


Tennis injuries are generally defined as either cumulative (overuse) or acute (traumatic) injuries.

Overuse injuries occur over time due to stress on the muscles, joints and soft tissues without proper time for healing. They begin as a small, nagging ache or pain, and can grow into a debilitating injury if they aren't treated early.

Injuries that fall into this category include:
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
Bursitis of the Elbow
Rotator cuff tendonitis
Shoulder Tendinitis, Bursitis, and Impingement Syndrome
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
Rotator Cuff Tendonitis
