Quick Prevention Tips For Our Local Athletes

- Pickleball: Prioritise calf/Achilles strength; wrist/forearm eccentrics; hip mobility for wide stances.
- Tennis: Eccentric wrist extensors, scap/rotator cuff strength, trunk rotation, manage serve and hitting volume.
- Golf: Hip and T‑spine mobility, anti‑rotation core, progressive range and bucket counts; avoid sudden swing‑volume spikes.
- Soccer (football): Nordic hamstrings, Copenhagen adductors, ankle proprioception, watch weekly load spikes.
