 JUNE 30, 2005 Back Pain-Free Tennis Orthopedists often advise back pain sufferers to avoid sports that put severe stress on the back. However, a back problem should not doom you to a life of inactivity. You can continue to play tennis if you take some precautions. Tennis can be challenging for anyone with back pain with all of its twisting, flexing, and extending motions. If you are plagued by a bad back: -- Try to flatten out your serve to eliminate excessive arching and twisting. -- Consider wearing a back brace. -- Try to pick up balls by lifting them between a foot and the racquet rather than bending at the waist. Many tennis players also show poor posture between breaks in the action. Tennis players spend more time waiting to exercise than they do actually participating in the sport. Try to maintain good posture before and after each point. |
