Padel taking its toll on your body?
Padel is fast, social, and addictive, but its mix of sprints, lunges, twists, and overhead shots loads the elbow, wrist, shoulder, knee, and ankle. As more people pick it up, often without much physical prep, the same injuries keep appearing on court.
Common issues we see in padel athletes:
- Tennis and padel elbow pain on the outside of the elbow from gripping and shots
- Wrist pain from the grip and the snap of padel strokes
- Shoulder pain from smashes and overhead shots
- Knee pain from lunging and rapid direction changes
- Ankle sprains from quick movements on court
- Calf strains from sprinting and pushing off
What we treat
Padel injuries we treat
We understand the specific demands of the sport and treat the injuries that come with it, including:
Padel and tennis elbow
Pain on the outside of the elbow from gripping and repeated shots.
Wrist pain
From the grip and the loading of padel strokes.
Shoulder pain
Rotator cuff and shoulder pain from smashes and overhead shots.
Knee pain
From lunging, twisting, and changes of direction.
Ankle sprains
From rapid movement and stopping on court.
Calf and Achilles injuries
From sprinting, pushing off, and explosive movement.
Stubborn cases
Shockwave for padel elbow
Padel elbow that has lasted more than 6 to 8 weeks despite rest often needs more than exercises. Shockwave therapy can kick-start healing in stalled tendons, used alongside a loading programme.
Targets the tendon
Stimulates repair in the stubborn elbow tendon that resists rest.
Paired with loading
Used alongside progressive tendon loading, the proven foundation of recovery.
3 to 6 sessions
Most patients see meaningful improvement within a short course.

Questions? We have got answers
Can you treat padel elbow?
Yes, it is one of the most common things padel players come to us with. Modern treatment is progressive tendon loading plus hands-on work, and for stubborn cases, shockwave therapy. Rest and braces alone rarely fix it.
Do I have to stop playing?
Usually not entirely. We typically modify your playing volume and which shots you hit while we treat the injury, rather than stopping padel completely.
Why does my injury keep coming back?
Recurring padel injuries usually mean the underlying cause, grip, technique load, or a strength gap, has not been addressed. We treat the cause, not just the flare.
Do I need a referral?
No referral needed. You can book directly. We also accept Simplyhealth and Medicash cash plans.
What are your prices?
A new patient assessment is £75 for 45 minutes, including a full assessment, hands-on treatment, and a clear plan.
