Reduce Injury Risk - Improve Speed, Power & Movement

If you play padel regularly, your body is exposed to rapid accelerations, lunges, twists, overhead shots, and repeated high-intensity rallies — all of which place significant stress on the lower limbs, hips, shoulders, and spine.

At Projuvenate Physiotherapy & Health Optimisation we have developed a Padel-Specific Performance & Injury Reduction Screening using advanced sports science technology to identify weaknesses, asymmetries, and movement deficits before they lead to injury.

Book your Padel Screening today and play stronger, faster, and pain-free.

Why Padel Players Get Injured

Padel involves unique physical demands, including:

  • Explosive lateral movement
  • Repeated lunging and deceleration
  • Rotational trunk loading
  • Overhead smashing
  • Sudden direction changes
  • High match volumes

Common injuries include:

  • Achilles and calf strains
  • Knee pain (patellofemoral pain, tendinopathy)
  • Groin strains
  • Lower back pain
  • Shoulder pain
  • Tennis/padel elbow

Many of these develop gradually due to strength deficits, poor load distribution, or asymmetry — not just bad luck.

What Makes Our Screening Different?

This is not a basic fitness test.

We combine clinical expertise with world-leading performance technology from VALD Performance to deliver a comprehensive assessment of how your body handles padel-specific demands.

Our Screening Includes:

  • Bed-based clinical assessments

  • Range of movement testing

  • Strength testing

  • Plyometric and force analysis

  • Asymmetry identification

  • Injury risk profiling

  • Performance insights

Advanced Testing Technology

  • Bed-Based Assessments

    We assess joint mobility, muscle length, control, and movement patterns to identify restrictions that may limit performance or increase injury risk.

    This includes evaluation of:

    • Hips and groin
    • Hamstrings and calves
    • Spine mobility
    • Shoulder function
    • Core control
  • Isometric Strength Testing — ForceFrame

    Using the VALD ForceFrame, we measure the strength of key muscle groups crucial for padel performance, including:

    • Quadriceps and hamstrings
    • Hip abductors and adductors
    • Calf strength
    • Shoulder stability muscles

    Weakness or imbalance in these areas is strongly linked to injury risk and reduced performance.

  • Explosive Power & Landing Mechanics — ForceDecks

    The VALD ForceDecks assess how you produce and absorb force during jumps and dynamic movements.

    This helps us evaluate:

    • Explosive power for sprints and court coverage
    • Deceleration ability for lunges
    • Landing symmetry
    • Fatigue indicators
    • Lower limb injury risk
  • Targeted Strength Testing — Dynamo

    The VALD Dynamo allows precise measurement of individual muscle strength in positions specific to padel movements.

    This is particularly useful for:

    • Rotator cuff strength
    • Grip and forearm function
    • Groin strength
    • Isolated deficits not visible in compound tests

How This Improves Your Padel Performance

By identifying exactly where your body is limiting you, we can help you:

  • Move Faster Around the Court
