Hand Therapists Serve Up Advice to Avoid Injury
CHICAGO, IL – (date) – The American Society of Hand Therapists (ASHT) is offering specialized tips to help tennis players avoid injury as they prepare for the summer season. From beginners to professionals, tennis elbow, the most common injury in the sport, is seen in approximately one-third of the tennis population.
“Individuals suffering from tennis elbow may report that they have pain at the outer side of the elbow performing activities using the hand or wrist. As a result, daily activities such as typing, ironing, vacuuming, writing or even lifting a coffee cup may become too painful to perform,” said Chris Blake, Past President of the American Society of Hand Therapists. “For tennis players, some of the causes of tennis elbow can be playing too long or too frequently, poor stroke mechanics with the back hand swing, improper equipment relating to grip size, string tension, racket weight, frame rigidity or the length of the racket.”
