Tennis is a very one-sided sport so the muscles and joints on the dominant side are subject to much greater stress and this can easily lead to injury. Both overuse and acute injuries occur in tennis, but by far most injuries occur due to the repetitive strain over time, causing an overuse problem.
Common tennis injuries include:
- Low Back Pain
- Stress Fractures
- Calf Muscle Strain
- Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
- Shoulder Rotator Cuff Tendinitis
- Wrist Sprain
- Patellar Tendonitis
- Knee Meniscal Tear
- Knee Ligament Sprains

- Tennis Toe (hemorrhage under the toenail)
