Padel has officially taken over our social calendars and fitness routines, offering a fast-paced, highly accessible workout. However, its rapid growth has been accompanied by a less welcome trend: a significant rise in court-related injuries entering physiotherapy clinics.

The core is frequently mischaracterised as a superficial muscle group defined by aesthetic visibility. In clinical practice, however, we view the core as a sophisticated, integrated motor system. It is the body’s central stabilisation unit, orchestrating the force transfer between the upper and lower limbs and providing the foundational support necessary for all functional movement.

We now know that acupuncture does much more than just relax a muscle - it acts as a form of neuromodulation, essentially "hacking" the nervous system to promote healing and functional recovery. Recent neuroimaging research has shown that stimulating specific acupuncture points doesn't just affect the limb we are treating; it actually changes activity in the parts of the brain responsible for emotion and cognitive processing.

Exercise snacks are brief, vigorous bursts of activity (usually under a minute) scattered throughout your day. It’s about grazing on movement rather than trying to swallow a giant "fitness meal" all at once.
