Tennis elbow
Training
frank morris Asked 11 years ago
I have developed a pain in my elbow that seems to be "tennis elbow" and it seems to be from table tennis. Are there any common mechanics problems in my game that could cause this condition? Are there any steps to be taken to prevent this condition?
Thanks,
Frank

Hi Frank,
I find when I am doing something repetitively it can happen. The Pendulum serve keeping my elbow up high can do it. Also practicing backhand topspin where you are focusing on finishing the follow through with the wrist can also do it for me.

In this training session you'll learn how to find the best basic stance and learn how to practice your footwork. As usual there are plenty of games along the way to keep the session fun.

Hi Alois,
I have been practicing the backhand topspin follow through. Is there anything other than foregoing practice to stave off tennis elbow?

Hi Frank,
That sounds like it. Try to keep the arm and finger more relaxed as you go through. Perhaps limit the amount of practice you do at the one time. Maybe more shorter sessions rather than a longer session.
