One of the key benefits of the Tenex procedure is its quick recovery time. Most patients return to light activities within a few days. Dr. Badia generally advises avoiding strenuous exercise or repetitive movements involving the treated tendon for about 1 to 2 weeks. For athletes or individuals in physically demanding jobs, full return to play or work typically occurs within 4 to 6 weeks.
Patients who undergo Tenex for tennis elbow have reported significant improvements and return to competition within weeks—not months. This is a major advantage for those who can’t afford prolonged downtime.
