Since we have upped the frequency of our game and the length of each session, everyone of us has acquired some form of overuse injury and is now seen with a band around some parts of the anatomy to minimise discomfort while playing and to accelerate the healing process.
Sui Lin has hers around the wrist, mine to nurse my acute tennis elbow, Lee Lee's invisible but has gel in her shoes to minimise strikes on the heels.
Eric, the only male player amongst us, who is also my doubles partner today confessed that although physically he is still in good shape, it is usually his ego that is bruised constantly! Whilst there is a glimpse of hope for us to recover from our injuries, no amount of bands can accelerate the healing of a bruised ego! Sorry Eric....
