How does chiropractic benefit tennis players?

Think about the benefits you’ve experienced since you’ve started coming in for chiropractic care. Your pain levels might have decreased, you might be feeling stronger in the gym, or you might be more mobile. We know that chiropractic helps your body to start healing, so that you can do everything you want to.

Now try to think about a tennis player competing in Wimbledon. When you’re competing against the best in the world, everything counts. They need their bodies to be functioning at their optimal level; they need every advantage they can get when the difference between players can be so small.

The level at which their body functions depends on the signals it receives from the nervous system. If there is any interference in these signals, for example emotional stress or physical stress, then their body won’t perform at its peak. Which, of course, becomes an issue for athletes. This is why so many athletes use chiropractic as a part of their recovery and performance plan. 

How can chiropractic help?

Chiropractic helps to keep the spine correctly aligned, and helps make sure signals are firing correctly throughout the body. It is also great for injury prevention and recovery. Injury prevention is such an important element to having a successful and enjoyable tennis season. Andy Murray says that his Chiropractor has been helping his game for years. 

In Wimbledon, players are competing against the best of the best. They need full function out of their bodies because they’re using them to the absolute limit. Even if they’re functioning at 90% instead of 100%, this could be the difference between winning or not. 

Having their nervous system tuned and working properly is a huge benefit when competing. Exactly what players like Andy Murray, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic need.
