Padel is the sport of the moment. But what are the risks?
Fun, with easy-to-learn rules, to be done outdoors or indoors, padel is the hottest sporting activity of our time, but it must be done correctly to avoid injury and discomfort.
In recent years, padel has become an increasingly popular sport. Simpler than tennis, it can be played alone or in pairs, with friends and colleagues, and allows you to keep fit in an easy and fun way.
However, like all sports activities, it should be practised with some care to avoid injuries and discomfort.
The greatest risks concern the lower part of the body, especially the ankles and calves, which are particularly affected by the sudden jerks typical of this sport.
The knee can also be affected by padel. The main reason lies in the fact that you play in a confined space where you have to make sudden twists and movements. Women would be more prone than men to this type of problem because they generally have a wider pelvis and a slightly more valgus knee.
Problems can, however, also affect the upper body, particularly the arms and shoulders, especially the joints.
A valuable aid for padel players is magnetotherapy. In case of injuries and discomfort, it helps recovery in a natural and effective way. Thanks to the combination of high-frequency and low-frequency waves, it reduces the inflammatory state, containing pain and accelerating healing time.
