Posted on 27th January 2025 at 18:52
Padel, a dynamic racket sport, is growing in popularity for its fast-paced action and accessibility.
However, its intensity also brings potential for injuries. At Breakspeare Clinics- Cheltenham, our highly experienced physiotherapist, Paul Wray is dedicated to helping players recover from injuries and enhance performance, ensuring you stay fit and competitive on the court.
Common Padel Injuries
The explosive movements and repetitive actions in padel can lead to:
Tennis Elbow: Overuse of the forearm muscles causing elbow pain and reduced grip strength.
Shoulder Strains: Overhead shots can lead to rotator cuff injuries.
Knee Issues: Quick lunges often result in patellar tendonitis or ligament strains.
Ankle Sprains: Rapid directional changes increase the risk of twisting the ankle.
Lower Back Strains: Rotational movements may stress the lower back, especially with poor core stability.
