<\/span>Most common injuries in padel players<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although padel is less aggressive than other racquet sports, it does have a considerable impact on joints and muscles. The most common injuries tend to be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Tennis elbow (epicondylitis)<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It is the inflammation of the tendons of the forearm, caused by repeated use of the arm when hitting the ball. It mainly affects those who have a bad hitting technique or a too rigid grip on the paddle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Tendinitis of the shoulder<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The gesture of the smash, the viper or even the tray executed continuously can derive in an overload of the rotator cuff, generating pain and limitation of movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Lumbago or discomfort in the lower back<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Padel tennis involves many trunk rotations, short movements and inclinations that, if not accompanied by a good lumbar and abdominal muscles, can take their toll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Knee and ankle injuries<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
