How Can Intrinsic Biomechanics Help Me With My Tennis?

Whether Playing Tennis for Fun or Competition
Let Intrinsic Biomechanics Up Your
Level of Performance

Tennis is a physically and mentally demanding game. A successful player uses great technique with EXTERNAL biomechanics playing an integral role in stroke production. Whether it’s working on your serve, getting you to follow through correctly on your backhand or working on your footwork at the net, your Tennis Coach is the expert in showing you how to improve your game. It really is a complex and challenging sport.

Tennis development is a natural consequence of plenty of practice and repetitive movements. Volleys, lobs, smashes, serves, drop shots, topspin, slices, and the list goes on. All these shots require efficiency of movement to be effective.

But to follow your Tennis Coach’s instructions, you need to be ABLE to move freely, have controlled rotation and power.

  • Are you experiencing shoulder twinges?
  • Does your back feel tight?
  • Do you have old knee injuries that affect your game?
  • Do your feet hurt during or after you play tennis?

These could all be your body’s way of telling you that something is up and
your body requires attention.

If you are losing energy in your kinetic chain, you will notice it in the quality of your tennis shot.

Unfortunately, tennis is plagued with “tennis elbow”, rolled ankles and sore hips. This can be attributed to the repetitive patterns of the game and weak muscle tone. However, poor internal anatomy may be a bigger contributor. If a player has a dysfunctional pelvis which can be presenting as one leg longer than the other (LLD), or a pronated foot, this will cause muscle compensation and other symptoms to present along the kinetic chain. Ultimately creating misalignment, muscle fatigue, nerve impingement, injury or pain.


While tennis elbow does require lots of rest to heal, Intrinsic Biomechanics MET exercises can be done, focusing on the cause or dysfunction . . . like releasing the quadrus lumborum (QL) (which might be in spasm), thereby reducing the chance of the injury to reoccur.  

  • Have you thought about how you are aligned?
  • Do you have aches and niggles while playing your tennis?
  • Would you like to play more and need less recovery time?

Perhaps it is time to consider how Intrinsic Biomechanics will help you
