Bad knee pain
Strokes
adam brown Asked 12 years ago
Hi guys,
I'm getting some really bad knee pain and thought I'd get your opinion on some ideas to reduce the pain. I play in an office pretty much every day - carpeted floors and unfortunately I'm wearing business shoes most of the time. I read through the other questions about knee pain and working out your legs is a common suggestion. I'm plenty built for the game - I work out just about every day and have very strong legs but after an hour a day of pong my knees are aching.
Do you think the carpeted floors are hurting my knees? Or maybe I'm wearing the wrong shoes? I do tend to jump a little when I smash and sometimes land hard - are there any exercises or drills that would emphasize keeping my feet planted?
Thanks for the help!
-Adam

Hi Adam,
The shoes sound the main thing to me, but I am far from an expert on knee pain.
One thing that does help to keep you balanced is bending lower with your knees but this may be counterproductive. It is worth going to a specialist on this. A physiotherapist is often the best person to look at these things.
