More mobility and flexibility for tennis players "Over 40"

Do you experience aches and pains during a tennis match? Do you feel stiff and cramped right after a game or the day after, and your muscles just seem too short? As we age, we do tend to get a bit stiff. Age, and often prolonged sitting, leads to shortened muscles and tendons, and the fascia becomes restricted. For those over 40, mobility becomes increasingly important. We need to become more supple and flexible again. If we achieve this, we reap multiple benefits: we're more agile on the court, recover faster, and are less prone to injury. It
doesn't just sound good – it feels good too!
