While
tennis does provide a great workout, it can be particularly hard on
one’s ligaments, muscles, and joints. However, receiving massage can
help prevent and reduce the extent of tennis-related injuries. For
instance, tennis players can commonly develop issues with shoulder
muscles, external rotator muscles of the hip, and can also experience
lower back pain, knee pain, tight calves, and of course tennis elbow.
Massage can increase circulation, thereby facilitating the removal of
lactic acid and other metabolic waste that can inflame these areas.
Massage can also help to improve flexibility and strength of the muscles
surrounding the injured area, which can relieve stress placed on the
tendons.
