Tennis is fast, explosive, and demanding; some of the many reasons why it’s so rewarding. But the same dynamic movements that make the sport exciting can also leave players with injuries that don’t go away on their own.
From the classic tennis elbow injury to complex rotator cuff injuries, the wear and tear of the game is real.
That’s where specialised tennis physiotherapy at BodyMotion can prove so invaluable.
Our job isn’t just to patch you up. We help you:
Tennis isn’t like running, football, or golf. Every serve, volley, and change of direction loads the body in unique ways:
Generic rehab plans rarely work for players. A tennis physio program must account for the sport’s biomechanics, the surfaces you play on, and your playing style. That’s the level of detail we bring to every session.
Not every tennis injury shouts. Some whisper first.
If you notice:
…it’s time for a tennis physio assessment. Catching it early makes the difference between a week off and a season out.
If you’ve played long enough, you’ve probably felt one of these:

The most common tennis injuries include tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), rotator cuff strains in the shoulder, ACL injury cases, hip and groin strains, and lower back pain. Overuse injuries are particularly common due to the repetitive nature of serving and groundstrokes.
To avoid tennis injury, focus on strengthening your forearms, shoulders, hips, and core; maintain proper stroke technique; use the correct racket grip size and string tension; and manage your training load. A tennis physio can design a program tailored to your body and playing style.
If you have persistent elbow, shoulder, knee, or hip pain that doesn’t improve with rest, or if pain keeps returning when you engage in physical activity, it’s time to see a physiotherapist. Early tennis rehabilitation can prevent small issues from developing into long-term problems.
Recovery varies depending on severity. Mild cases may improve in 6–8 weeks with tennis elbow physiotherapy and structured physiotherapy exercises for tennis elbow. More chronic cases can take several months, especially if left untreated.
Treatment often combines manual therapy, load management, and progressive tennis elbow rehab exercises such as wrist strengthening, grip endurance drills, and mobility work. These restore function and reduce pain while preventing recurrence.
Yes. A tennis physio doesn’t just fix injuries; they can also help you serve stronger, move faster, and play longer without pain by optimising movement patterns and building resilience.
Not at all. We work with tennis injuries across all levels, from juniors to weekend players to professionals. Our goal is always the same: safe recovery, smarter prevention, and better performance.
A Relaxation Massage is a great way to pamper yourself, reduce stress and recharge your energy levels. Using a combination of relaxing massage strokes, usually with a lighter pressure, you can opt for a full body massage or choose the areas you would like to have massaged which can include the back, shoulders, legs, feet, arms, hands, neck, head and face.
This is a therapeutic remedial Maintenance Massage which may be recommended to you by your physiotherapist and aims to help you to maintain the results that you have achieved from your Physiotherapy treatments. This massage will be targeted to the area that you had treated by your physio, and will ensure that the muscles continue to work well together to keep you free of pain.
A remedial Therapeutic or Deep Tissue Massage is generally a deeper, firmer pressure and will target particular areas of tightness and restriction in your muscles. You will be asked to provide feedback throughout this massage to assess if the level of pressure is suitable for the area.
A remedial Sports Massage can help to ease any muscular pain post workout or after you have participated in a sporting activity. It can also be beneficial prior to a sporting event to ensure that your muscles are at their peak state, therefore assisting you to perform at your highest possible level.
