The Hidden Injury Risks in Padel (And How to Avoid Them)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Padel is addictive… but that’s also part of the problem. 🎾
Players go from never playing to spending hours on court every week, often without preparing their body properly. Add poor warm-ups, the wrong shoes, wet conditions, bad technique, or unsafe habits on court, and injuries quickly become common.
In this episode, Sandy and Tom break down:
✅ Why so many padel players get injured
✅ The importance of proper warm-ups and routines
✅ How technique and equipment affect your body
✅ When conditions become unsafe to play
✅ Common on-court safety mistakes players ignore
✅ Why shoes, balls, and rackets matter more than you think
If you want to stay healthy, play consistently, and enjoy padel long-term, this episode is essential listening.
