Tennis Elbow in Senior Bankers Playing Recreational Tennis

Q1: Why do senior bankers often develop tennis elbow?
A1: Repetitive backhand swings, forceful racquet use, and improper technique strain the tendons of the lateral elbow, leading to inflammation, pain, and reduced arm strength.

Q2: What symptoms are common in this group?
A2: Symptoms include pain on the outer elbow, weakness in grip, stiffness, and discomfort when lifting, typing, or playing tennis, affecting both work and recreational activities.

Q3: What remedies do senior bankers usually try first?
A3: Many attempt:

• Elbow braces or straps for support.
• Plasters or topical analgesic gels for temporary relief.
• NSAIDs or COX-2 inhibitors to reduce inflammation.
• Physiotherapy and stretching exercises to strengthen tendons and improve mobility.

While helpful temporarily, these measures often do not fully resolve repetitive strain injuries like tennis elbow.

Q4: How does The Pain Relief Clinic approach tennis elbow differently?
A4: The Pain Relief Clinic emphasizes non-invasive technology, including HotHeal Therapy, shockwave therapy, and guided physiotherapy to reduce pain, restore elbow function, and prevent recurrence. MRI diagnostics are available for precise assessment. Eligible Singaporeans, permanent residents, and some international patients may access cashless service, removing upfront payment stress and letting bankers focus on recovery.

Q5: How can tennis elbow affect senior bankers emotionally and socially?
A5: Pain can limit recreational tennis, grip-based leisure activities, and daily office tasks, causing frustration, stress, and worry about aging or declining performance in work and sports.

Q6: Who is this treatment most suitable for?
A6: This approach is ideal for senior bankers, corporate professionals, and recreational tennis enthusiasts experiencing tennis elbow, who want non-invasive, effective relief with cashless service, enabling them to continue playing sports and performing daily tasks comfortably.
