Comberton Tennis Club Ladies’ 1st Team at Core Cambridge
Last night, members of Comberton Tennis Club’s ladies 1st team booked a session with us in order to learn more about dynamic warm up and injury prevention for tennis…
Comberton is a [relatively] new town just outside of Cambridge, and so Comberton Tennis Club is a [relatively] new club; when one of their first team got in touch to book a session with us, we were delighted.
They asked us to talk about warming up and about injury prevention – both topics that are high on our hot list – so we put together a session that encompassed a whistle-stop tour of dynamic warm up, core stability, injury prevention, movement patterns and agility… …plus a wrap-up of how those concepts all come together to impact upon the players career longevity and performance levels.
“We thoroughly enjoyed this session, it was very very useful,” said Tamryn, who organised the session for the ladies, “We hadn’t been aware of how our movement patterns will affect us on court and how they transfer into tennis. To be honest, just from a general body awareness perspective it was valuable – we can improve our well being considerably by doing more of this type of stuff; If we had better core stability etc. then our limbs would’nt be hurting us.”
“We’re a relatively new team looking to step it up and compete at a higher level – so we’ll be up against a higher level of competitor. This is going to be a great start to get us thinking about what we can and should be doing to stay keep ourselves injury free and performing well.”
