Squash is the most cardio-dense sport on the planet, and the lunging-twisting load profile breaks specific things. Calves, Achilles, lumbar rotation, shoulder. We see it constantly — and we know how to keep you on court while the issue resolves.
Lunge mechanics, deceleration, recovery to T. We test the movement that's actually breaking — not just generic squat / single-leg.
What length of game you can play, what intensity, what to avoid. Often the answer is "play, but only doubles for two weeks."
Calf, Achilles, patellar tendons respond to specific dosing. Slow then fast, eccentric then full-court. Reassessed weekly.
Full-pace games. Three-set, then five. Tournament prep if relevant. We don't sign off until you've trained at the intensity you need to compete at.
Reading has one of the strongest squash scenes in the south — multiple league clubs, county training, and active masters competition. Tennis and padel are growing fast, with the same lunge-rotate injury patterns.
The typical client: 40–60, plays three to five times a week, refuses to slow down. The injury list is predictable. So is the protocol.
