Shoe Recommendations

[russell]

Does anybody have a recommendation for a sports or table tennis shoe which can be used to avoid a recurrance of sciatica?

Well a shoe can't help you much with that, but you should maybe go for a soft shoe, Asics Netburner (volleyball shoe) but in general I would advice exercises which support your core and back muscles.

For exercises please check this video, it's compiled by Kristin Lang (formerly Kristin Silbereisen), German national team player and she is multiple German champion and a physical therapist. Those exercises were compiled especially for us table tennis players:

I like Adidas Samba. They are about $60-$70 depending on the size.
They are advertised as indoor soccer shoes but they work well for TT and side to side motion.
