Most of the professional athletes use mobility exercises as part of their warm up. They help keep your body and all your joints in tiptop shape. They are key to prevent injuries.
Limitations in movement are the first cause of knee, elbow and lower back
pain. Also remember, these limitations can lead to secondary injuries like knee and
elbow tendinitis.
Use mobility exercises as a warm up and you will feel the difference: Choose a joint and move it in every possible direction. Do this slowly, and repeat every movement 10 times. To help you keep track, start by mobilizing the neck, then the shoulder, elbow and wrist, going down through the spine, hip, knee and finishing with the ankle. To get more out of these joint mobilizations, they should be done early morning or before tennis practice.
