I'm a former pro tennis player and did these exercises every day. They helped me clock 116 mile per hour serves and rip forehands day in and day out. I'm sharing 5 excellent shoulder exercises for tennis players using a thera band.

Thank you :) I'm glad you liked it.

[@strongnfree99]

Thank you. Helpful !

[@davidgerstel8976]

Neha, Thankyou. That's one of the clearest, best organized workout videos I have seen. I appreciated, too, your modesty, your letting us know which exercises especially benefited you, your efficiency of presentation, and your focusing on the subject rather than on self-promotion.

[@NehaUberoi]

Thanks David, I really appreciate this specific feedback!

[@TennisConditioningTV]

awesome!

[@vanessavalles6352]

I had a really bad time today with my serves during a game. I was weak in my rotator cuff after only a few power serves and my swings slowed down alot. I lost match but that prompted me to do research to help me and i came across this video. I just wanted to thank you for making it. It made me happy to see that there is a way to get stronger and that the instructions are so easy to follow. thank you!

[@NehaUberoi]

Hi Gwen, I'm glad you made it to this video and I'm happy you liked it. I hope you get stronger soon!

[@vwmusicplaylist1935]

Very good video.

[@psvlog9370]

dear Neha, Highly appreciated your great sharing it helps me improve a lot and I will take your suggestions as a daily routine practice And I will encourage my friends to follow your instructions in this video

[@FelixArdLykke]

Great tips will try them to solve my shoulder pain. thanks.

[@toddnyc1642]

thank you!

[@OneGazelle]

FYI: The 2nd exercise is external rotation with adduction you followed that with internal rotation in adduction. The scarecrow is called external rotation in abduction. Nice job.

[@NehaUberoi]

+David Allen Thanks for that! I love calling them fun names :)

[@ctrtcfog]

This is an amazing video! very helpful. You should get so many more views.

[@PlayTennisPracticeYoga]

Nice video! 👍

[@msherazi1259]

This is a great video; very detailed and easy to follow instructions. Thank you😊

[@natarajankanala4700]

Fantastic. I have been looking for tennis specific exercises for a long time. Thanks

[@sandrainglis3424]

Thank you Neha, I wish I had seen this video earlier as I have pulled muscles in my shoulder today but will certainly follow your suggested exercises from now on to avoid future injuries. All exercises are very clear and helpful. Sandy

[@NehaUberoi]

Hi Sandy, I'm so glad you found the video helpful. I wish you a speedy recovery.

[@dimitrisblane6368]

thanks a lot! Its been 6 months I cant play tennis due to shoulder pain...just bought some resistance bands!

[@NehaUberoi]

Hope you get healthy and back to playing soon!

[@dkangan]

Ms. Uberoi, not that many women even at the upper level of today's WTA and get it consistently above 110 mph, and to do that you had to have a certain level of strength and flexibility but more you had to have learned a good serving motion, and my hat is off to you. And I know from experience that you are absolutely right that on this kind of exercise it is infinitely better to go lighter rather than heavier, especially for the muscles that make up the rotator cuff.

[@NehaUberoi]

DK Ang Thanks so much for this comment!

[@dannycamaro5532]

thank you for sharing this excellent instruction ....

[@melhampton588]

Coming out of second shoulder surgery. Took up tennis years after first one. This one extensive and hard to rehab/strengthen/become painfree from. Although I am currently doing a couple of these exercises already, the others are new to me, and I plan to use them right away. My goal is to play tennis painfree again, so encouraged by more tools to help me get there. Thank you!

[@RicardoCorralArmas]

Thank you Neha!

[@malikanjumsaleem9437]

Thank you Neha, these are very productive and effective exercise.

[@NehaUberoi]

You're welcome, glad it is helpful. :)

[@StephanieHughesDesign]

Thank you. I am currently suffering from Tennis shoulder rotator cuff pain and inflammation right now after returning to the game after many year absence.

[@NehaUberoi]

Sure thing. Yes, that area can get really sore if you haven't played in a while. Glad you are doing some "pre" and rehab. :)

[@msherazi1259]

120 mph serve?!!! 😳 niice.

[@sashshek1]

Well explained. Easy to follow

[@Tenzinlama123]

Hi Neha, thank you very much for the video, helped me a lot. I will keep doing those exercises. Namaste and Bahuta bahuta dhan'yavāda!

[@kewun]

[@shimshonbenchaim2974]

[@NehaUberoi]

Thank you!

[@teresamorris3853]

Excellent video and communication.

[@tennisdr]

Hey Neha: Please always mention the actual product/brand used in your videos. What make/model/weight was the plyoball?

[@webzoro2081]

thx Neha - great guide - for me as a tennis player - currently feeling little my shoulder - one hander backhand ... - thx so much will try today - what about with weights ? dumbbells ?

[@NehaUberoi]

Light weights are great and there are tons of exercises with them too but bands are awesome for prehab/rehab.

[@stephenbowler5690]

I'm a tennis coach, and I loved these exercises. I want to do them myself to strengthen my shoulder. I am looking forward to starting a tennis program at my school i work at next year. If you have any other tips, curricula, videos that might help that would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps what your own coach used on you. I look forward to connecting with you. Best regards

[@NehaUberoi]

Hey Stephen, glad you liked the exercises. I have a checklist/workbook that I created for junior development that my be useful: www.nehauberoi.com/tennis-coaching-consulting

[@stephenbowler5690]

Thanks a lot :)

[@SaurabRao]

nice exercises, simple concise and efficient :)

[@NehaUberoi]

+Saurab Rao thank you Saurab!

[@ivanjohnson6569]

Useful exercises with simple equipment. Good job!

[@NehaUberoi]

+Daniel Okeke :)

[@stanrose2]

well presented. Keep it up Neha.

[@NehaUberoi]

+Stan Ferns thank you!

[@alfandosavant4639]

Hi Neha! Great video, just the one i'm looking for. About those exercises, is it possible to do exercise 1-4 without thera band?

[@NehaUberoi]

alfando savant Hi, thanks. Although I am not an expert, I do feel that slight resistance is necessary for you to have full benefit. You could possibly do these exercises with light dumbbells...

[@alexandersergeev3410]

It would be nice to have alternative to exercise 5 when you don't have some one to throw the ball back? Do you have other exercises for the elbow muscles stretching? Thanks for he great video and tips - will use it straight away!

[@NehaUberoi]

Yes in my wrist exercise video I show the owl stretch.

[@mariustaba]

This is great it helps me get strong and I want to become a pro tennis player also. My coach says I can become a pro. 🙂

[@WiredDragon-fm6sy]

thats awesome man

[@TheDrakulie]

do you have any excercises for strengthening lower back muscles and also to build stronger serves ?

[@NehaUberoi]

Lower back strength is so important. I didn't make any videos but using a bosu ball for back extension, doing single and double leg Superman's and opposite arm/opposite leg raises in high reps are great way to get a strong core/back. I also really recommend swimming laps and planks.

[@nitinsingh6411]

hii neha do u know any good tennis academy in mumbai

[@sujithkumar3230]

The second exercise can be named “Should external/internal rotation with exercise band” ?

[@shivanagireddy8696]

Hi Neha. Thank you for the informative video. I have but one question: is it alright if I use tennis balls for the ball toss exercise?

[@NehaUberoi]

Tennis ball may be too light. Try to find something slightly heavier.

[@shivanagireddy8696]

Neha Uberoi Thank you.

[@randyzeitman1354]

Looks great. Have any forearm/wrist exercises?

[@NehaUberoi]

Thanks, yes my next video in the playlist is on wrists. Hope it helps!

[@MikeyDang]

Great information and great demonstrations. You still look very fit in this video (I know it's 3 years old), I hope you're still hitting!! :)

[@gagandeepmalik2855]

Hey Neha, Thanks for the video...My question is - 'Can I use the same exercises if I am suffering from shoulder injury playing badminton'? Your response will be much appreciated. Thanks :)

[@NehaUberoi]

Hi, thanks for your question. Although I'm not an expert in badminton, you are doing very similar movements with your shoulders to tennis. I would say these exercises would be beneficial for any racquet sport! :)

[@gagandeepmalik2855]

Thank you :)

[@leebalee1]

Thanks alot for these videos. Please do physiotherapy exercises for bankarts repair shoulder. Appreciate your response.

[@leebalee1]

For strengthening of labrum

[@NehaUberoi]

Great idea!

[@sonsoftheedelweiss72]

What was your highest rank. Also where did u get the financial support. Thk u

[@ShiveshGuptaShiveshGupta]

[@NehaUberoi]

Thanks!

[@KunalMagar23]

hii neha i have some shoulder discomfort as i play cricket and im a fast bowler so my shoulder doesnt allow me to ball with effort as it was before ...is dis excercise effective to strengthen the almost injured shoulder

[@NehaUberoi]

Kunal Magar Although I am not a physio therapist, I would say that these exercises are extremely helpful. Also do ice, heat and stretch. Rest is always good.

[@KunalMagar23]

***** okk thanks for the reply.. but recently i consulted a doctor and took an MRI it showed some tear in tissue so may dis excercise help me sa rehab workout

[@arupmullick3474]

I'm so glad this Video is still there on You Tube as i myself am suffering from a Tear. No don't try these exercises for Rehab if there is Tear. Let it heal completely. These are to be done only as a prevention to tear according to my Doctor as well as Physiotherapist.

[@stlouisramsfan03]

Neha, I am an aspiring ATP player would you so kind assist and guide me in my training to become the fittest player I can be?

[@deejaydee11]

a very helpful video from a very beautiful lady..thank you Neha

[@jaskeda]

How you make your chair from not moving?

[@NehaUberoi]

+David Tran I used sandbags. Use a net post or a door handle or a fence.

[@jaskeda]

+Neha Uberoi thank you very much

[@samarvirful]

I am a tennis player.... I've played AITA tournaments.... And I do frequently..... I was also making some appearance in ITFs..... But I just went through a rotator cuff injury..... It's a tear.... What do I do.... I'm fed up because I've been out from the game for the last 8 months

[@NehaUberoi]

Samarvir Singh that's tough. Rotator cuff injuries can take a very long time to heal. Hope you are continuing with your physical therapy and strengthening...

[@samarvirful]

Neha Uberoi yes I'm doing that, but it's frustrating not to be on the court

[@NehaUberoi]

Some helpful exercises for tennis players using light resistance bands! #tennis #tenniselbow #tennisplayer

[@isaacisaac4614]

Are you still playing pro level tennis like itf and wta

[@NehaUberoi]

No, not any more.

[@aligboyakasha]
