How to deal with injuries

Hi Jonathan,

Firstly we are not medical professionals at all.  With golfer’s elbow, I wouldn’t try to play through pain. Give the irritated area time to settle, particularly if table tennis movements are making it worse.

You can still improve your game by working on:

• Footwork and movement without hitting
• Serve technique through shadow practice
• Tactics and match analysis
• Light physical conditioning that does not aggravate the elbow
• Lower-body and core strength

Hope the elbow gets better soon.
