Another injury that bothers mostly table tennis players is different forms of tendonitis in shoulder area. The shoulder area is prone to injuries and mostly in tendonitis. The athlete who runs a situation like this has a problem to hit the ball and sometimes he cannot move his hand to do any stroke. Also, after a long training session problem with biceps can be found caused mainly by over-training. These inflamation symptoms are very painful and without the proper care can create big problems to the athele and his coach.
In order to avoid situations like these ones we have to strengthen the shoulder area with isometric exercises or controlled isotonic ones. A good stretching before and after the training session is very important.
Some methods for the treatment of the shoulder tendonitis are: ultrasonic, laser, TENS and massage.
