Smash the Pain, Not Your Game
Racquet Injury Prevention Workshop at CourtX
Playing through pain isn’t tough — it’s risky.
Most racquet injuries start weeks before pain shows up.
This workshop helps you recognize warning signs early and gives you clear guidance to protect your joints and your season.
WHY THIS WORKSHOP
Racquet sports repeatedly load the same joints.
Over time, small issues in strength, movement, and technique build into pain and injury.
This session helps you:
- Understand why pain keeps coming back
- Know what to address before it becomes an injury
- Make smarter decisions about training, recovery, and play
