If you do weights, try not to go to full extension. If your ligaments are loose, you need to tighten things up. If you want to play squash, you should go through a thorough training programme first, gradually increasing level of difficulty and not rushing. Once you have trained to reach a high level, do not stop doing your strengthening excercises. It is not a one-time fix. If you'r ligaments are loose, you need to stay very strong and coordinated to prevent injuries.
Thanks - never realised soft surfaces helped but makes sense - will give it a try. Thanks again
