Tennis-Verletzungen

Who hasn't twisted their ankle while playing tennis? Who hasn't experienced pain in their spine, shoulder, or wrist? Who hasn't suffered a muscle injury while playing tennis? This book explains the causes and mechanisms behind a variety of tennis-specific injuries from head to toe. The author, Dr. Peter Kaiser (Sports Orthopedics), in collaboration with Dr. Tim Kinateder (Sports Orthopedics, Davis Cup team physician), presents ways to treat these injuries and prevent the risk of injury through targeted exercises. Practiced exercises prepare an athlete's body ideally for tennis-specific stresses and can thus protect against typical injuries. The correct execution of the exercises is demonstrated in the book by a Bundesliga tennis player and a physiotherapist, and is further explained in detail with additional videos by the author. Tennis players can independently perform all exercises – both at home and on the tennis court. The book provides tennis coaches with a wealth of exercises for warm-up, strengthening, and stabilization aimed at targeted injury prevention. Additionally, the author offers tennis-specific advice on techniques that can provide extra protection against injuries or a soothing effect for existing pain. “With this book, I wish all tennis players a joyful and injury-free time playing tennis well into old age!” Dr. Peter Kaiser.
