The workshop provides a platform for local young people to develop entrepreneurial skills, promote traditional rural handicrafts, and contribute to rural revitalisation across five key areas in industry, talent, culture, ecology, and organisation. The workshop will incubate rural talent, while benefitting the local community, and facilitating interaction and exchange between young people from Hong Kong and Chengdu.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px; color: #000000;\">During the trip, participants also visited a local school on Earth Day (22 April 2025) to teach students about environmental protection through interactive games and workshops, which helped contribute to sustainable development.

Zhang Ruodan, a member of the University YMCA (The University of Hong Kong), shared: &#8220;The most memorable part of the six-day trip was the mutual care and support among the team members. Waiting for each other in the morning mist, singing together&#8230; these moments added beautiful memories to the cycling journey. Also, during the Earth Day environmental education activities at the school, I felt that the students truly enjoyed the interactive games and learning.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align:

Zealand physiotherapist. Mulligan proposed that injuries or sprains might result in a minor \u201cpositional fault\u201d to a joint causing restrictions in movement. Mulligan techniques have been developed to overcome the \u201cpositional faults\u201d such as to restore pain-free movement in affected joints.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px; color: #000000;\">Tennis elbow is a common upper limb pain syndrome caused by excessive load on muscles and tendons due to frequent use of the hand. The following Mulligan technique can be attempted if you have pain over the outer side of the elbow while performing gripping action. Stabilise the upper arm against a doorframe, while the other hand pushes the forearm towards the direction of the doorframe. While maintaining this push, you would perform 10 repetitions of grip and release. The entire Mulligan technique should be completely pain-free. Ideally, this technique would be able to ease your elbow pain. If there are any adverse effects such as an increase in elbow pain afterwards, you should cease the treatment. If you have any questions, please consult your physiotherapist for further guidance.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27a29e5 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"27a29e5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a2b0792 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-ld_imgtxt_slider\" data-id=\"a2b0792\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"ld_imgtxt_slider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div id=\"lqd-imgtxt-slider-a2b0792\" class=\"lqd-imgtxt-slider pos-rel text-center lqd-imgtxt-slider-fade\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lqd-imgtxt-slider-inner\" data-active-onhover=\"true\" data-active-onhover-options='{ \"triggers\": \".lqd-imgtxt-slider-nav a\", \"targets\": \".lqd-imgtxt-slider-images .lqd-imgtxt-slider-img\" }'>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lqd-imgtxt-slider-images lqd-overlay z-index-1 pointer-events-none\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lqd-imgtxt-slider-img elementor-repeater-item-7579641\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"w-100\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<nav class=\"lqd-imgtxt-slider-nav h4 d-inline-flex\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"reset-ul d-inline-flex flex-column align-items-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"d-inline-flex elementor-repeater-item-7579641\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"lqd-imgtxt-slider-link d-block pos-rel z-index-2\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-text=\"Discovering YMCA Channel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Discovering YMCA Channel<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/nav>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a558751 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a558751\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36ec01d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"36ec01d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">#YM Throwback | Cycling for Love 2025<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f1bab58 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"f1bab58\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=qALLDWtNNPI&quot;,&quot;lazy_load&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54b5535 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"54b5535\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-210c6df elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"210c6df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-26382 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/swd-sub-logo-vertical-300-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"108\" \/><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: right;\">\uff0aSome of the programmes are subsidised by the Social Welfare Department<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Copyright \u00a9 2025 Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong, All rights reserved.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joined hands with the Chengdu YMCA, we organised &#8220;Cycling for Love 2025&#8221; from 17 to 22 April in Chengdu.
