Hey Im samantha, Im a keen tennis player but injured my knee three weeks ago, its on the mend now but Im worried it will have a lasting effect on my tennis? Is there anything I can do to prevent this or help it heal faster?

Do you know what you have done to your knee? Different injuries require different treatment. But generally, make sure any pain, swelling and inflammation has ceased (using RICE) before starting exercise again. Also ensure you have full flexibility (equal to the other side) and that strength is also equal.
