shoulder blade pain when serving

tennisenthusiast · 11-27-2012, 07:08 AM

Hi All,

I seem to be having left shoulder blade pain only on those days when I play singles or two sets of doubles i.e., when I serve a lot. Does anyone have reasons as to why I would have left shoulder blade pain when I serve intensely? BTW, I am a right-handed player.

Is it because of technique or spin serves or weak shoulder blade related muscles? If so, what are the remedies that I can try?

Also, what can I do to strengthen that area and surrounding area? I am doing thrower's ten exercises (with 1 pound weight) once a week and also doing theraband exercises once a week.

Thanks!
