I've been playing tennis for several years and more and more my right shoulder/back is becoming more and more sore. My right shoulder back is much larger and more muscular than my left and now every day I feel tightness and ache on my right back/shoulder/neck. How do you guys deal with this situation?

There are some books available that show the proper way to stretch the areas you mentioned. If you can go see a physical therapist, he/she can help you with your problem.

Your dominant arm is going to be bigger. You can work on the other, but if you play a lot it is not going to make that much of a difference. Go get a massage and stretch like a maniac.

Hi mate! I heard that playing "one-sided" sports like tennis causes scoliosis which makes sense because you tend to "twist" more to the stronger side. I know this might not solve your problem, but i just want you to look out for such a big problem. i suggest you keep your answer posted. Mail me @ bleekbeen@yahoo.co.uk if you want to critisize or anything! cheers>>>.

GO TO A GOOD GYM TALK WTIH REHABILIATION EXPERT.. BETTER=PERHAPS RECCOMENDED BY YOUR DOCTOR... YOU CAN AFFORD IT
AND ITS THE BEST WAY TO DO IT. LIFTING WAITS? NOT EASY AND MAYBE BETTER TO EASE OUT OF GAME..
PAIN OR FAME YOU DECIDE????
