Understanding Fascia and How It Impacts Padel Elbow Pain

What is Padel Elbow and Why It Happens


Padel elbow is often mistaken as a simple overuse injury, but the reality is more complex. Millions of people play Padel without experiencing elbow pain. So why do some players develop it?

The answer often lies in fascial restrictions caused by historical trauma. These restrictions may stem from:

  • Old injuries in the elbow, wrist, or hand

  • Poor posture affecting the neck, shoulders, or lower back

  • Scar tissue from previous surgeries or accidents

  • Visceral restrictions (tightness around internal organs) from past illnesses or infections

In short, Padel may not be the root cause—it often exposes underlying dysfunctions in the body.


How We Treat Padel Elbow at INPEAK


At INPEAK, we use a full-body, fascia-focused approach to treat Padel elbow. Unlike traditional treatments that focus only on the elbow, we address the entire fascial chain.

Here’s what a typical session looks like:

  1. Movement Assessment: We test how your body moves and identify areas of restriction.

  2. Targeted Fascial Release: Pressure is applied to specific fascial points and lines connected to your elbow.

  3. Immediate Retesting: We check results in real-time to ensure the treatment is effective.

Many clients report instant improvement, a clear sign that we’ve released the correct restriction.

Why Fascia Therapy Works for Padel Elbow


Fascia connects every part of your body. Tightness in one area—like the shoulder, neck, or abdomen—can create strain on your elbow through these fascial chains. By releasing these restrictions, we can:

  • Relieve pain and discomfort

  • Improve joint mobility and coordination

  • Restore strength and functional movement

All of this is achieved without medication or invasive procedures, using only hands-on therapy designed to restore your body’s natural mechanics.


What to Expect During a Fascia Session


  • Assessment: We analyse posture, movement patterns, and pain history.

  • Treatment: Deep, targeted pressure is applied to areas connected to the elbow—even those far away from the joint.

  • Post-Treatment: Some soreness is normal, similar to a workout, but most clients feel lightness, freedom of movement, and pain relief within 24–48 hours.


Fascia Therapy Benefits Beyond Padel Elbow


Fascia-based therapy is effective for almost every musculoskeletal issue, including:

  • Neck and shoulders

  • Upper and lower back

  • Hips and knees

  • Ankles and feet

  • Wrists, hands, and elbows

  • Chest, ribcage, abdomen, and core

  • Pelvic region

  • Jaw and face


The Science Behind Fascia


Fascia is intelligent, responsive tissue that reacts to movement, tension, and inflammation. Correctly released, fascia can heal, regenerate, and reset your body’s mechanics, leading to:

  • Reduced pain

  • Increased mobility

  • Faster recovery from injuries


At INPEAK, our mission is to educate and treat persistent pain at its source. If you’re struggling with Padel elbow or chronic discomfort, there’s a good chance your fascia is involved. Let us help you unlock your body’s natural movement and relieve pain.
