Yeah, I know exercises that can train the inside muscle (VMO) from back then when I had operation for my other knee. I think the soreness currently is due to weakness in the outer muscles from the accupuncture though.

After a week of no playing at all, which was longer than I imagined it will be, I went back to the table today and played table tennis. The reason being I saw a physio ytd, and he says my knee pain is due to the outer thigh muscles being too tight, and that pulls the knee cap slightly each time...

http://new.ittf.com/2016/08/15/top-class-rio-olympic-champion-applauds-venue-floor-ball/ ITTF released this article describing Ma Long and Feng Tian Wei praising the DHS ball. I won't be adding my opinion on the ball as I do not have enough experience in playing with other balls to compare them...

Thanks Carl. I can see with the first video, it is about getting the range of motion of the knee without causing pain. How about the purpose of the exercise in the 2nd video?

Thanks Carl. I hope it doesn't get to that. I also have some rocktape put on by my friend on the knee, I can walk without any pain now. Just that I do not want this to go to a chronic problem like my other knee which ended up having an operation for it. So I really want to just rest this and get...

Thanks Der_Echte. I am still trying to get the swelling to go away first though, by having compression and elevating it as much as I can, and resting it (i.e. not using it as much). With your suggestion, do you mean to do that when the swelling is gone right?

Watched my first Olympics table tennis match live in CHN vs GBR! GBR did some really good preparation as Liam and Paul both took the first set off their singles opponent. GBR even took one set off doubles too. Just realised, Sam Walker looks like Andy Murray!

Same... even missing out a training session on Friday is like so painful internally already. Hmm resting until September... Initially I was thinking of resting a week and see how I feel as well, but I might try to rest it as long as I do not go crazy from not playing... So maybe 2 weeks... or...

Thanks Boogar! Yeah, I had a lot of fear, as I had already had an operation for my other knee before, so this time when my 'good' knee is injured, so much fear comes up. How much time would you say is needed for resting it? I have a comp at the end of september, so would prefer to play again as...

On Thursday, I have an injury on my right knee after playing table tennis intensely for 2 hours without rest. I do not know when in the session I hurt it, but a few hours after hitting, the knee appears to have some swelling in front of the patella, and the pain is in the back on the lateral...

Men: Gold - Ma Long Silver - Dimitrij Ovtcharov Bronze - Zhang Jike Women: Gold - Li Xiaoxia Silver - Ding Ning Bronze - Feng Tianwei

The trial happened today, and I am happy to say that I am in the team to compete with unis around Australia! I am also very glad that the trial is over, as I am the organizer of the trial (after taking over the role in the last week). I realized how inexperienced I am with organizing such event...

Nice play. Was the strategy just to stop the warm up??

Hey monster, I'm touched that someone remembers me :o Haha, I didn't really figure out what the issue is, but out of impulse, I decided to change my rubber and 'upgrade' it to a province level. I know it is not a good idea to change rubber so close to a trial, but then I was on the safe side as...

I think a video will also help us in giving any advice. But Carl asks a good question.

Do you guys use adhesive protective sheet or non-adhesive ones?

I clean my bat with water + non-abrasive sponge after every hit, then I will put it in my bat holder. I do not expose the bat to sunlight. Currently, we are having winter, so there is more rain, and generally more humid than summer. There has been times, where if there is heavy rain, I knew...

I breathe on the rubber too during practices and use my palm to remove dust, but I do wonder if that will cause the rubber to be too moist and then lose the tackiness, as I have had one episode this week where the rubber becomes so slippery that I can no longer loop topspin balls with the same...

Just wondering, is the challenge match between kukamonga and Siva still happening or not?
