I use the the 5mm knee sleeve for basketball and running. It has allowed me to return to these activities without the pain that was shutting me down. I'm almost positive that this sleeve would offer the same pain reduction and support for tennis.

I think they'd help provide support and stability while playing tennis. They are great for lifting. I wear mine for lifting and some of my plyo and conditioning work. I don't typically wear them for long distance running. Given your recent surgery and the quick changes in direction involved with playing tennis I think these would be beneficial to you.

I use it for lifting but I can imagine it is good for all mobility athletics.

I would be careful training if you have a tendon tear, even if it's a strain I will give your system to recuperate. All I can say is after my groin strain I rested and did a bit of physio with the help of a professional. I use this now when I do Sumo deads and also wide legged box squats. Please get a physio's feedback before doing any training.

It should work on the top portion but it is designed for baseball or softball. You might want to look around for something more tennis specific before investing the money on this item...unless your child is also into wanting to use this for baseball and tennis. I think the effectiveness for tennis could be a disappointment.

I had rotator cuff surgery back in 07 which is why I bought another one of these. You can ease in to the work out and limit the amount of force you exert. However I would not recommend using this to it's full extent until you are completely healed. When all else fails ask your Surgeon or Physical Therapist for their recommendation.

This is an excellent rehab piece of equipment. It works great on the upper body. You can maneuver the exercises around to target most all of the muscle groups. The 5 lb. bands don't sound like much but after several exercise you will find they are strong enough until you build up your strength. W really like our chair, it is well built and very sturdy.

It has work great for me, ever since my heart surgery evoshield has been a life saver for me. I use it for my softball games 3x a week of playing. I play in the infield and bad hops is part of the game.

I had rotator cuff surgery in Jan. '13. When I was able to start rehabbing, my assistant recommended I start out slowly with the Bodyblade. She said it would work the smaller muscles and tendons I had re-attached. It was a bit uncoordinated at first. I still use it today as my main workout. It's a miracle exerciser and today I can almost do everything I could do before my accident. I'd highly recommend it to any age.

I bought the elite pad after using in physical therapy to rehab my knee. I love it and use it all the time. It's really helped me regain my sense of balance.

I've only used for tennis and doing exercises with 1-5 lb weights in ladies exercise class so I have no idea if it would be adequate for the training you describe. I did mention in my review that I think the support would be significantly increased if these were available in a longer length. 4-5 inches longer would be great. I do like that the palm is left uncovered for gripping.

Wow, sorry I didn't respond earlier.... I see that others were more quick on the uptake thank goodness. But I don't think that this would work as a tennis ball. I think it's a bit harder and the bouce is a little different than a tennis ball's since it has the hole in the middle.

I use it to work out. I had rotator cuff surgery sometime ago and think it could have been helpful. The one I used then from my orthopedic surgeon was more restrictive to help the healing process. Hope this helps.

I do leg lifts and in pool. do not know your physical fitness level. Unless wearing knee brace bad on knees

Personally I think they are. They are smaller, fitting inside my palm better. There are exercises included that I know I would find more difficult with a tennis ball. And I have found the three different firmnesses helpful in slowly building up my strength.

I have used it during boot camp, didn't really do what I needed. However, I found out I have a torn tendon, so I have a boot cast on which is helping. I figured when it heals I can go back to this for support.

not this model, it's for a short action. you want a long action. try academy sports.

It's good for overall added support, in no way is my movement compromised; I can still obtain my full range of motion and it doesn't move at all if you get the right size. Really helps my lifts and it's definitely help me gain strength

Yes. I tore the muscle in my knee and it wrapped well around the injured area. It is really great for me.
