The Move Clinic Partners with Smash Padel: A Winning Combination for Your Health and Performance
We’re thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership between The Move Clinic and Smash Padel Oxford — bringing world-class musculoskeletal care and performance support directly to the padel community!
Padel is the fastest-growing sport in the UK, combining the best elements of tennis and squash in an incredibly social, fast-paced game that’s taking clubs and leisure centres by storm. With its explosive movements, quick reactions, and repetitive overhead and rotational actions, it’s no surprise that players can sometimes experience aches or injuries along the way.
That’s where our partnership comes in.
At The Move Clinic, our experienced physiotherapists, advanced practice clinicians and strength and conditioning specialists are now working alongside Smash Padel to give members and tournament players quick, direct access to early diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation for common padel-related conditions such as:
Padel or tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
Patellar tendinopathy (“jumper’s knee”)
Hamstring and calf injuries
Shoulder and rotator cuff pain
Wrist and forearm pain
Using cutting-edge musculoskeletal ultrasound, we can assess soft tissue and tendon injuries immediately and discuss the best management options with you on the same day.
Advanced Treatment Options for Longstanding Problems
For players struggling with longer-term or recurring tendon issues, we also offer a range of evidence-based treatments designed to get you back on court faster and stronger:
Steroid injections – to calm inflammation and relieve acute pain
Hyaluronate injections – for joint lubrication and enhanced mobility
Shockwave therapy – clinically proven for tendon and soft tissue healing
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) – harnessing your body’s natural healing power for stubborn tendinopathies
Rehabilitation That Keeps You in the Game
Once your pain is under control, our in-house Strength and Conditioning team will design a personalised rehabilitation plan tailored to the specific demands of padel — focusing on power, agility, endurance, and injury prevention. Whether you’re a weekend player or a competitive athlete, we’ll help you move better, perform better, and play pain-free.
A Partnership Built on Performance
