Best Shoulder Braces For Tennis

HOW CAN I PREVENT OR AVOID A SHOULDER INJURY WHILE PLAYING TENNIS?

 

Shoulder pain from tennis can often occur as a result of repetitive, rapid batting and swinging motions.

Swinging your tennis racket while serving and spiking can even cause you to injure your shoulder muscles or develop tendonitis in the rotator cuff muscles due to muscle overuse.

Wearing a Bauerfeind brace or shoulder support can reduce your chances of injury through increased stability, proprioception and moisture-wicking medical-grade compression.

The medical grade compression activates the muscles allowing greater blood flow which aids in speedy recovery and delays muscle soreness.

The Omotrain guides and centres the arm in the socket so the shoulder maintains proper natural movement, without impacting your mobility.

Strapping runs across back and hips, so it won't impinge upon the chest area. The OmoTrain can be worn on either the left or right shoulder.

Some of the most common forms of injury while playing tennis include rotator cuff tendinitis, bursitis, and rotator cuff tear.

But I use it for a few hours everyday and it’s made so much difference in the amount of pain and instability in my shoulder. I recently didn’t wear it for 2 days and could tell it was definitely much better with it. Thank you soo much for relieving some of my pain 5 stars" - Ambert C.

    HOW DO I PREVENT SHOULDER PAIN FROM TENNIS?


    Tennis involves repetitive swinging motions that your shoulders need to support. Ensure you complete stretching exercises before and after a match to strengthen the muscles in your shoulder and arms.

     

    HOW TO TREAT A TENNIS SHOULDER INJURY

     

    • Strains or Sprains. Many sprains and strains can be treated with the RICE method: Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. A physiotherapist can assist with the recovery as well. If the sprain is more severe you may require surgery.
    • Rotator Cuff Tear. Conservative treatment such as rest, ice and physical therapy can help with full recovery of lower grade rotator cuff tears. If your injury is severe with a full or partial tear of the muscle or tendons, surgery may be the most appropriate.
    • Rotator Cuff Tendinitis. Tendinitis occurs over time due to repetitive and prolonged shoulder movements, which results in inflamed or irritated tendons. It can be treated through adequate rest and avoidance of activities that cause pain, anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy and steroid injections. For more severe symptoms, surgery would be an appropriate treatment option.
    Play it safe: Consult a doctor if you experience unusually intense and persistent shoulder pain.
