Tennis Injury Treatment North London
Whether you're a competitive tennis player, a weekend enthusiast, or just getting started with the sport, tennis places significant demands on your body. The repetitive movements involved in serving, sprinting, twisting, and striking the ball can lead to a range of injuries affecting the shoulders, elbows, wrists, back, hips, knees, and ankles.
At Karen Slaviero Physiotherapy, we provide expert tennis injury treatment in North London, helping patients recover from pain, restore movement, and keeping you on the court with confidence.
We Can Help You
Karen Slaviero Physiotherapy is a welcoming and friendly clinic with some of the best physiotherapists in London. As every injury is unique, we take the time to assess the underlying cause of your symptoms before creating a personalised treatment plan. Whether you have developed tennis elbow, a rotator cuff injury, an ankle sprain, muscle strain, or persistent back pain from repeated play, our experienced physiotherapists are dedicated to helping you achieve a safe and lasting recovery.
About Tennis Injuries
Tennis injuries often develop gradually through overuse, poor technique, inadequate warm-ups, or muscle imbalances. Others occur suddenly following awkward movements or falls on the court. Common symptoms include pain, stiffness, swelling, reduced mobility, weakness, and difficulty performing everyday activities or sporting movements. Early assessment and treatment can significantly reduce recovery time while lowering the risk of further injury or recurring problems.
Our physiotherapists offer a wide range of traditional and modern physiotherapy services to help restore movement and function. Every treatment programme is tailored to your individual needs and may include a combination of hands-on therapy, rehabilitation exercises, movement retraining, and education to improve performance and reduce future injury risk. Throughout your recovery, we focus not only on relieving pain but also on addressing the underlying biomechanical issues that contributed to your injury.
Our Treatments
We use a variety of physiotherapy techniques throughout our sessions, including Functional Applied Science, Douglas Heel's Be Activated, Bobath, and more traditional physiotherapy methods such as Mulligans, Maitland, and Myofascial Release. Where appropriate, we also combine physiotherapy with complementary treatments such as acupuncture and cupping, alongside a comprehensive exercise programme designed to improve strength, flexibility, stability, and movement patterns. This integrated approach helps support a faster recovery while building resilience for your return to tennis.
Many tennis players also experience neck and back pain, either as a result of the physical demands of the sport or from everyday habits away from the court. Due to increased working from home and our generally sedentary lifestyles, most of us have experienced pain and stiffness in our neck and back, including disc injuries or even headaches. These areas respond very well to physiotherapy, including manual therapy, acupuncture, cupping, and core strengthening. Working on specific exercises and improving posture can help prevent these issues from returning, allowing you to stay active both on and off the court.
Our Clinics
Our clinics are conveniently located across North and North West London, making expert physiotherapy easily accessible. You can visit us at our clinics in Hampstead, East Finchley, Bounds Green, and Alexandra Palace, where our friendly team is ready to help you recover from injury and achieve your goals.
The Option of Home Visits
To make accessing treatment as convenient as possible, we also offer home visits. If you are unable to travel because of your injury or simply prefer treatment in the comfort of your own home, our physiotherapists can bring everything needed for your appointment. All the equipment necessary for your treatment, including the treatment bed, can be set up indoors in just a few minutes, allowing you to receive the same high standard of care without leaving your home.

Our evidence-based treatments, experienced clinicians, and personalised rehabilitation programmes are designed to help you recover safely, reduce the risk of re-injury, and perform at your best.
