It works for tennis elbow

I definitely works if you have the patience to use it correctly everyday. I have chronic tennis elbow as bad as anyone, steady persistent work with this has relieved it greatly. But it does take time, like any good physical therapy if you don't do it or think that the exercises are silly and won't help then it won't work. Some want to go right away to the bigger flex bars thinking they will do more good. But it is the little extensor muscles that attach near the lateral epicondyle that need the work.

Work Your Wrist Differently

One of the more versatile wrist/elbow/shoulder exerciser. I appreciated the booklet that contained a number of exercises --- and assumed if I register with Thera-Band Acacademy website I'd be able to see all the other exercises possible with the Flexbar. A difference I see compared to the usual wrist strengthening exercises using resistance bands, is that you get to use your grip while giving your wrist a workout. What sets the Flexbar apart are the four exercises included in the instruction manual using just the wrist strength to bend the bar to a U four ways: Supination (http://www.thera-bandacademy.com/tba-exercise/thera-band-flexbar-supination), Pronation (http://www.thera-bandacademy.com/tba-exercise/thera-band-flexbar-wrist-pronation), Radial Deviation (http://www.thera-bandacademy.com/tba-exercise/thera-band-flexbar-wrist-radial-deviation), and Ulnar Deviation (http://www.thera-bandacademy.com/tba-exercise/thera-band-flexbar-wrist-ulnar-deviation)

Saved me twice!

Used it a few years back for tennis elbow and it worked. Recently my elbows began to hurt from doing bicep curls. I used it for two weeks daily 4 sets for 30 seconds with a 30 rest between sets and it worked for me again. All it really does is get the blood flowing in and out of the elbow which is the best way to heal......it has saved me twice from two different problems.

Outstanding value, quality and results

I got a pretty severe case of tennis elbow that was so painful, I took a chance and went to the ER of my hospital during the early part of the COVID-19 epidemic. My arm went numb from my hand to my neck. The physical therapist suggested buying this equipment and I'm thrilled that I did! It's simple to use for several exercises and after a week of exercises, ice packs and Tylenol, the pain was gone. I used this bar exclusively for two weeks and then bought the next size up to strengthen my arms and shoulders. I HIGHLY recommend these for physical therapy and for elderly family members for low-impact exercising and high impact results.

A must have for tennis elbow!!

It looks like I’ve only had this a few months, when in fact this is a replacement. Once again I have loaned my Thera bar and not gotten it back. Everyone seems to get good results, including myself. The key to healing tennis elbow is working your wrist. When it first hurts, immobilize it a few days. Then you will need to painfully work on stretching it as it heals so that it does not heal shortened and become injured again and again. Don’t be a tightwad, buy a couple of different strengths, and start with the easiest. You will be surprised at how stiff the easy one seems at first. TheraBar is awesome!!A must have for tennis elbow.

Very Helpful for Golfer's Elbow & Homeowners Elbow

I injured my right arm from doing too much hammering of ice around the gutters. That, along with golfer's elbow to begin with, had me not being able to pick up a filled drinking glass without a good amount of pain. Within a few days of starting to use the flex bar, per the golfer's elbow excersise on the web site their pamphlet with the product mentons, I was feeling some relief. They say do the exercise for two weeks, it's been that and I can actually pick up things with my right arm again. Still have a way to go for full recovery, but this thing is great. I also do Trigger Point therapy, which involves rolling a hard ball in one direction about a dozen times on the painful site. Do this leaning your arm up against a wall and its like deep massage. A great book that teaches this type of thing is the Trigger Point Therapy Guide. Between using the Flex Bar and doing that, I'm confident I can fully recover on my own without going to the chiropractor.

Works wonders for my tennis elbow. Can tell when ...

Works wonders for my tennis elbow. Can tell when I slack off using this as my arm/elbow issues really flare up. A few days of using this and all my symptoms subside. I use this when watching tv or reading so there is no reason not to be able to use this. I usually do about 5-10 mini sessions a few times a day. Really helps with forearm strengthening.

Really great product for not only helping current tennis elbow suffers but preventing it from occuring.

As a target archer one thing we deal with is "tennis" elbow in the arm that holds the bow. There's lots of various exercises stretching etc. you can do for tennis elbow and I've tried most of them but I really like this product because of the various "weights" allowing you to start very easy and work your way up, and also the variety of exercises you can do that isolate and work the elbow muscles/ligaments/tendons to rebuild strength. It's not just good once you have an elbow issue either, it's a great preventative for working that area to ensure you don't get tennis elbow in the first place.

This really works!

After feeling elbow pain for weeks i went to an orthopedic specialist who prescribed physical therapy. The physical therapy didn't help. Out of desperation I tried the Thera-Band Flex bars. I started feeling an improvement within days. I started with this one (yellow) and worked my way up to red. After 6 weeks my elbow pain was completely gone. It's been about a year since and I haven't had any relapses.

Helped my tennis elbow tremendously

You would think it’s just a rubber stick but if you actually do as instructed, it will help immensely. These are now a staple for me, right next to my therapy bands. If you are prone to or suffer from tennis elbow, these are a nice complement to traditional TE therapy/ exercises. I’ve had the surgery on one elbow and am trying to avoid with the Other. These really helped after I took some time to ice and after the shot.
