Padel Injuries
The padel, an accessible and very popular sport, puts certain areas under repeated strain. The elbow suffers from epicondylitis, the infamous tennis elbow, caused by a racket that is too stiff or poor technique. The calves endure sudden starts and stops, and can be strained. The ankles twist during changes of direction. A good warm-up, suitable equipment, and some care products can help limit these risks.

All the accessories are gathered on the accessories page.
The Elbow and Calf
The epicondyle strap, worn just below the elbow, distributes tension across the forearm tendons and relieves epicondylitis. It can be paired with a more flexible racket and a overgrip that cushions vibrations. Compression sleeves for the calf support the muscle during exercise. A progressive warm-up, including jogging, high knees, and some dynamic stretching, prepares the calves for the sudden accelerations of padel.
Cold and Recovery
In case of a sprain or impact, apply cold immediately, using a spray or ice pack, without direct contact with the skin, and rest the affected limb. A strap or ankle brace keeps the joint secure when getting back to play. After the match, recovery creams and gels, gentle stretching, and good hydration help the muscles recover. Persistent elbow pain lasting several weeks warrants a medical consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to prevent tennis elbow in padel?
Choose a racket that isn't too stiff, work on your hitting technique, and strengthen your forearms. An epicondyle strap worn under the elbow relieves the tendon by distributing vibrations.
How to correctly place an epicondyle strap?
It should be worn two to three fingers below the elbow crease, on the upper forearm, tight but not cutting off circulation. It limits muscle tension on the painful tendon during exertion.
Do calf sleeves prevent strains?
Compression sleeves support the muscle and promote venous return, which helps prevent minor injuries. They do not replace a proper warm-up before explosive starts.
Cryo spray or cream, which to choose after an impact?
The cryo spray immediately soothes a knock or a minor sprain by cooling the area. Recovery creams are applied after the match, with a massage, to relax tired muscles.
How to protect your ankle in padel?
An ankle brace or strap stabilizes the joint during changes of direction, especially after an initial sprain. Well-fitted padel shoes and proprioception training complete the prevention strategy.
