Ouch! Why Do My Knees Hurt?
Do your knees hurt when you play padel or tennis? You’re not alone! These sports are fun but tough on your knees. All that running, jumping, and quick turns can cause:
- Pain under your kneecap
- Sore ligaments or tendons from too much twisting
- Achy knees from playing a lot
But don’t worry — you don’t have to stop playing!
Move to Feel Better!
It might sound funny, but resting too much can actually make your knees feel worse. Sitting still makes joints stiff and muscles weak.
Good news: Exercise can help more than medicine!
Studies show that moving the right way can:
✅ Lower your pain
✅ Make your knees stronger
✅ Help you get back to the game you love
Easy Tips to Help Your Knees
Before you play, try these smart moves:
1. Warm Up First
Jog, bike, or swing your legs for 5–10 minutes.
2. Get Strong
Do squats, lunges, and bridges to build strong legs.
3. Balance & Stretch
Try standing on one leg. Stretch after games to stay loose.
4. Wear Good Shoes
Use tennis or padel shoes with good support.
5. Don’t Overdo It
Take rest days. Try biking or swimming sometimes too.
