It usually kicks in later.
You finish your session, feel fine, grab a drink, head home.
But by the time you sit down to eat or wake up the next morning — your lower back aches, your shoulder’s tight, your knees are louder than usual.
It’s not dramatic. It’s not an injury.
But it lingers — and you start to wonder why tennis takes so much out of you lately.
The Session Is Over — But the Load Isn’t
Tennis puts your body through repeated demands — lateral bursts, overhead swings, and constant split-second pivots.
Even a short session stacks rotational stress through your hips, spine, and shoulders.
If you don’t actively undo that stress, it doesn’t disappear.
It just waits — until the next session feels worse.
Why You Can’t Skip the Cool Down
You wouldn’t skip the warm-up (or at least, you shouldn’t).
But most people walk off the court, hit the showers, and call it a day.
And that’s where tightness turns into tension… and tension turns into pain.
A proper post-tennis routine:
-
Restores length to the muscles you’ve loaded
-
Unwinds your spine and hips
-
Reconnects your nervous system to calm
-
Speeds up recovery so you feel ready next time — not sore
