Padel

Padel is one of the fastest-growing racket sports in the UK – and it’s easy to see why. Fast-paced, sociable, and fun, it combines elements from tennis and squash. The game is played in doubles on a small, enclosed court. It encourages quick reactions, teamwork and tactical thinking. A draw of the game is its suitability for all ages and abilities. 

Padel courts are becoming increasingly popular across South Yorkshire, North East Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. The areas now boast modern padel venues – including indoor and outdoor options. This growing access means that players of all levels can enjoy the sport close to home, supported by the White House Clinic’s network of physiotherapists who help padel enthusiasts stay fit, active and injury-free.

Like any sport, padel carries some risk of injury – particularly to the shoulders, elbows, knees and ankles. Common conditions include tennis elbow, rotator cuff strains and muscle tightness from repetitive movement or poor technique. Quick changes of direction and jumping can also lead to ankle sprains or overuse injuries in the lower limbs.

At the White House Clinic, our physiotherapists support padel players at every level – from beginners to competitive enthusiasts. Through detailed assessment, treatment and tailored exercise plans, we help manage pain, restore mobility and prevent future injury. Specialist techniques such as manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation can accelerate recovery and get players back on court faster.

If you’re experiencing pain or injury from playing padel, our team across 14 locations in South Yorkshire, North East Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire can help you return to the game safely and confidently.
