What is the arm bone stress issue that caused Ash Barty to pull out of the tournament just before Wimbledon and why does it plague so many of our top players.

With Kirsty and Gena heavily involved in tennis tournaments around Queensland this next few weeks, many people often ask what are the types of injuries we often see. This bone stress issue known as "Humeral stress reaction" is something we often come across.

Humeral stress reaction is a condition that few people working outside of tennis have heard of. The bone of the upper arm becomes irritated due to the massive hitting loads these players have to endure. It is seen in all ages and all levels but usually occurs after a sudden increase in load, meaning, a sudden increase in how much they are training/playing. Players complain of a dull ache, usually more in the lower half of the upper arm. It is difficult to pinpoint exactly where the pain is coming from and usually treatment doesn’t make much difference…..as soon as the payer starts to play again the pain returns.

Often lower level players can go for some time with this injury being misdiagnosed but for those of us that work in tennis, unfortunately it is all too common. The good news is that with a few careful processes put in place to manage the pain and the playing load, some specific strengthening, as well as some careful analysis of technique which may well need to be addressed, then this condition can usually be fairly easily managed.
