This Wimbledon has been full of surprises main players going out and the amount of injuries, even A shoulder injury just when Steve Darcis had reach a top position, put him out of the running after beating Nadal. These elite and sub elite players have trainers working with them, due to how they train they are better equipped to avoid injuries, they also have Sports Injury Therapist, to deal with and aid with early intervention, should an injury occur. Being in the Sports Occupational injury business, I know how much sports injury/ massage therapists are sought after by professional tennis players .
The problem is how do people who play tennis for recreation, deal with their injuries, they probably have full time jobs , can’t afford the time off work to recover from the injury , if it is a muscular injury i.e. sprain or strain, either to the wrist, shoulder or elbow, as most of the injuries are upper body, unless there is a full rupture in the muscle .
There is not much the hospital can do. These injuries can in some cases take longer to heal than a break, they can be debilitating .If not treated the can leave internal scar tissue it can leave weakness it can recur . Soft Tissue injuries do need to be treated .
In most cases people feel the only answer is rest and painkillers, this is not necessarily so, once it is established that it is a Musculoskeletal injury. This is where we come in as Sports Occupational Injury Therapists. We can help people recover from a Musculoskeletal injury quicker with early intervention.
