If you're dealing with shoulder, elbow or wrist pain and can't pinpoint the cause, it might not be your technique — it could be one of these often-overlooked factors:
👉 Racquet choice
👉 Training & match load
👉 Strength (and why generic gym work isn't enough)
👉 Stress & recovery
We've put together a FREE 2-page resource breaking down these 4 upper limb pain factors in tennis, so you can understand what's really going on and take action before it becomes a bigger issue.
Understanding these factors can help reduce injury risk and keep you on court longer! 💪

Can someone with hypermobility have a low pain threshold but still seem to tolerate a lot of pain?

It might sound contradictory, but pain threshold and pain tolerance are not the same thing.
Research suggests people with HSD and hEDS can have increased sensitivity to painful stimuli, while some may also develop a remarkable ability to keep functioning despite pain.
Years of dealing with unpredictable joints and persistent symptoms can mean that “pushing through” becomes a learned necessity — not evidence that someone doesn't feel pain.
Understanding this distinction is important. Pain in hypermobility is real and can have multiple contributing factors, and simply assuming someone has a “high pain threshold” can lead to their symptoms being overlooked.

Do you get pain low down at the base of your spine, on one side. Have you struggled to explain exactly where it's coming from? It might be your sacroiliac joint (SIJ) 🍑

The SIJ connects your spine to your pelvis, and pain here is one of the trickiest to diagnose because it often overlaps with:
❓ Lower back pain
❓ Hip pain
❓ Sciatica-like symptoms

It's commonly aggravated by:
⚠️ Standing on one leg
⚠️ Stairs
⚠️ Rolling over in bed
⚠️ Getting dressed (especially pants or shoes!)

Because the symptoms can mimic so many other conditions, a proper assessment is key to actually get to the bottom of it (pun very much intended) 😄

Turnout isn't just about how flexible you are.

Your natural bone shape, deep muscle strength and control, and movement patterning all play a role — and it's rarely just one of them. If you're struggling with your turnout, it's worth getting a physio dance assessment to get guidance on the best and safest ways to improve your turnout. Focusing purely on stretching may be less successful and even put you at risk of injury. ✨

Could you be hypermobile without realising it? 👀

Some signs of hypermobility can become less obvious over time, particularly as our joints naturally become stiffer with age.
The five-part questionnaire can help identify a history of hypermobility that may no longer be apparent during a physical assessment. If you answer “yes” to two or more questions, you may be hypermobile.
But hypermobility is about more than simply being flexible or “double-jointed”.

Deep shoulder pain, clicking, or a sense your shoulder isn't quite ""secure""? It could be a labral tear 🦴

The labrum is a ring of cartilage lining your shoulder socket — think of it as a suction cup that deepens the joint and keeps the ball centred. When it tears or frays, common signs include:
🔹 Pain at the front, top, or back of the shoulder
🔹 Clicking, catching, or popping
🔹 A feeling of looseness or instability
🔹 Loss of power reaching overhead or throwing
Here's the reassuring part: labral fraying shows up on scans in a huge number of pain-free shoulders too, especially after age 40 — so imaging alone doesn't tell the whole story. A thorough clinical assessment matters more than the scan.
Most people regain full, pain-free function with a well-guided rehab program focused on strength, control and stability — surgery is only considered for significant instability or when rehab hasn't controlled symptoms effectively enough 💪

You rest for a week, feel better, get back into it... and it's back. Sound familiar?
That's usually not bad luck — the pain is often telling you that your training load, technique or recovery routine needs a second look. Acute and overuse injuries need different plans, and getting it right early makes all the difference. 💪
📌 Save this for the next time you're not sure whether to push through or back off.

New Blog: Hypermobility: Separating Myths From the Evidence 🧩

Hypermobility is often misunderstood, with common assumptions about pain, exercise, flexibility and what it means when nothing obvious shows up on a scan.
In her latest blog, Musculoskeletal and Hypermobility Physiotherapist Rachel Crosbee explores some of these common myths and looks at what the current evidence tells us about living with hypermobility.

From pain sensitivity and bracing to exercise and changes in flexibility with age, Rachel breaks down some of the misconceptions that can make hypermobility difficult to understand and manage.

Is every inner-elbow pain actually Golfer’s elbow? 🤔
Not necessarily.

A thorough physiotherapy assessment can help identify what is contributing to your symptoms and rule out other structures that can cause pain around the inside of the elbow.
Your physiotherapist may assess your elbow and wrist movement, grip and forearm strength, pain with resisted movements, nerve sensitivity and joint stability.

Getting the diagnosis right matters — because the right treatment starts with understanding what’s actually causing the problem.
