5 Mobility Exercises For Improved Rotation

Why is rotational mobility so critical in padel? Many shots demand powerful and precise hip and trunk rotation. When players can move quickly and efficiently through this range, they unlock greater power, maintain compact shot shape, and eliminate the need for compensatory movements from other limbs, which can often lead to injury.

Beyond performance, dedicated mobility work is a cornerstone of injury prevention, promoting long-term joint health, and significantly enhancing both agility and balance on court.
