The tennis serve is one of the most complex and powerful movements in sports, involving coordination, timing, strength, and technique. Improving your serve requires attention to these factors, as well as a strong foundation of mobility and stability in the upper and lower body. In this article, we’ll break down the movements involved in a serve, explore common reasons your serve might not be effective, and discuss how physical therapy can help fine-tune your body for optimal performance.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are among the most common and severe injuries experienced by athletes and physically active individuals. These injuries can significantly impact mobility, physical performance, and overall quality of life. At their worst, they can cancel an athlete’s entire season or prevent them from getting a scholarship. We love helping our athletes at EW Motion Therapy with injury prevention and recovery - ACL tears can happen, but our ultimate goal is getting you back on the field. You may decide that our services at EW don’t fit your needs, but to understand the best ways to prevent ACL injuries, it is essential to review their causes, recognize who is at greater risk, learn how to implement effective prevention strategies, and discuss how physical therapy can aid in both prevention and recovery.
