Tennis players have benefited tremendously in the past few years from innovations in racket technology. Not only have these improvements helped with technique and shot execution, but they’ve also made the sport safer. It’s rare indeed that you’ll hear of someone suffering the effects of tennis elbow, a condition caused and exacerbated by the overuse of arm and forearm muscles in an improper manner.
These days, lower body issues are much more common on the tennis court. Depending on the grit and traction of the court itself, slips and falls are not uncommon. Turned ankles occur more often than most players would like to admit, but an ankle brace can remedy that problem after the fact. Most braces allow enough freedom of movement that they can be worn during play without impeding progress.
