Forma is on a mission to prevent injury by giving players personalised, medically backed information, enabling sustainable, lifelong enjoyment of the sport.

Forma was founded by 22× Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal and his friend and doctor Ángel Ruiz-Cotorro, based between Barcelona and Rafa’s Academy in Mallorca. Currently we are a small distributed team of engineers, designers and doctors, but we are growing quickly. ¡Vamos! 🎾

While we are a distributed team across Europe, building a product for tennis players means a lot of time spent in and around the court, be it at ‘Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar’ in Mallorca or court-side in Wimbledon or Roland Garros, we always try to be as close as possible to what matters: tennis and players.

There has been a significant rise in injuries amongst anyone from junior players to professional athletes over the last decade. 85% of junior players get injured each year.* The overall amount of injuries in tennis has more than doubled in the last decade. 50% of these injuries would be preventable with the right technique.

For junior or professional players injury means time spent not training and potentially having to give up your dream of becoming a top-ranked player or winning an important tournament.

For amateur players injury leads to a compromise in your daily life caused by the sport that used to be your beloved hobby.

Dr. Ángel Ruiz Cotorro has been working to spread the word about the importance of preventative practice in tennis for many decades.
