Now that the World Tennis League Tournament is over, lets talk about a “tennis leg”
A “tennis leg” is a term used to describe a muscle injury that occurs in the leg, typically in the calf as a result of playing tennis or other acceleration/deceleration sports. The term is often used to refer to a muscle strain or muscle pull that occurs during the game. Tennis legs can be caused by a variety of factors, including overuse, poor technique, or inadequate warm-up before playing. Initial treatment includes rest, ice, compression and later physical therapy. Once you had an injury eccentric calf exercises are crucial for prevention. It is important to take care of a tennis leg injury properly to avoid further injury and ensure a full recovery. If you are experiencing a tennis leg injury, it is important to seek medical attention to determine the severity of the injury and receive appropriate treatment.
