🎾 Padel players – protect your knees before you hit the court!
Warming up properly can make all the difference in preventing injuries and keeping you in the game:
✅ 1. Start with dynamic leg stretches like lunges and high knees to loosen muscles and boost blood flow.
✅ 2. Activate your glutes and core with simple exercises such as bridges or side-steps to stabilise your joints.
✅ 3. Add in controlled squats and side lunges to mimic padel movements and prime your knees for quick pivots.
A good warm-up takes just 8–10 minutes but helps keep your joints strong, mobile, and pain-free. Stay sharp, stay safe, and enjoy every rally! If you are feeling a pinch or a lock after a match, it might be more than just fatigue. Let’s assess your meniscus and ligament health so you can get back on the court with confidence.
