1. The Shoulder: The Engine of Aerial Blows<\/h2>\n\n
The shoulder is probably the most complex and mobile joint in the body, which makes it vulnerable. In padel, movements like the smash<\/em>, the bandeja<\/em>, or the vibora <\/em>require maximum abduction and external rotation followed by explosive acceleration. <\/p>\n\n Padel is played in a confined space, which involves constant turns and changes of direction. Most amateur players perform these rotations by locking their hips, which transfers all the twisting force to the lumbar vertebrae. <\/p>\n\n Artificial turf with sand allows for sliding, but sudden braking and 180-degree changes of direction put ligaments and menisci to the limit.<\/p>\n\n One of the most dramatic injuries in padel is a rupture of the medial gastrocnemius muscle, popularly known as a “calf strain” or “gave-up.” It typically occurs during an explosive sprint towards a drop shot. Dehydration, accumulated fatigue, and a lack of a dynamic warm-up are the main triggers. <\/p>\n\n To continue enjoying the 20×10 game without surgery, it is vital to follow these principles:<\/p>\n\n At Therape\u00eda Physiotherapy<\/strong><\/a>, our approach to padel players is holistic.

A 10 to 15 minute warm-up with mobility, shoulder and leg activation and some gentle shots greatly reduces the risk of injury.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n If the pain lasts more than a week, appears when gripping objects or gets worse when you play, it is time to have it assessed.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n Padel has gone from being a niche sport to a social phenomenon. Its dynamism, social component, and rapid learning curve make it addictive.
