THERABAND FlexBar, Red, Light Level, Therapy Bar, Hand & Wrist Strength, Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow, Tendonitis, Rehab Tool for Grip Training and Protection from Aches, Retail Packaging

The flex bar is easy to use, and is helping with my pain. My Physical therapist suggested one for home use to help with grip strength and elbow pain. It is durable and I can already tell a difference with hands and elbow. Great value!

This FlexBar was perfect to use alongside my physical therapy for tennis elbow after receiving cortisone shots. The size is perfect, and the resistance level works great for rehab exercises. It’s very durable, made of high-quality material, and easy to use daily. The price is honestly a steal for the value you get. I’ve noticed a real difference incorporating it into my routine — highly recommend for anyone recovering from elbow pain!

Using it for PT on my broken wrist. Very therapeutic. Red Theraband.

It's Monday morning and this came to me Friday night (so Friday I only got to use it once before bed). I used it Saturday 3 times and Sunday 3 times. I was feeling desperate because this aching tennis elbow has lasted for months now. I got mine when I had to do a repetitive motion using my mouse and keyboard 22,000 times in the span of 3 days. Killed me ever since. It was invading my sleep - I'd wake up aching. Turning over in bed, I'd wince at the pain of having to lift my arm. Couldn't lift my coffee cup. Really didn't want a cortisone shot - I'm a scaredy cat :( So I looked online for remedies. I found an article that talked about the Theraband Flexbar and I read the reviews. It's cheap enough to be considered a "wth, I'll go for it" purchase. The instructions online on YouTube were helpful. I started the exercises and the first couple hurt - but it's one of those good hurts, like when you stretch a back that's in pain. As you do the exercises, it starts feeling better. The last 2 mornings, I've woken up realizing I got a good night's sleep. I can lift my coffee cup again. It's still sore, but not as bad. Now one thing I want to mention is what I did. I did the usual twist exercise as the video and instructions tell you to (I did 15 reps 3 times a day). I also do it whenever my arm aches because after the first one, it feels better. I also found one video from a doctor who said to find the most tender spot on your elbow and rub it vigorously horizontally, not vertically down the length of your arm. So I did that. He said it helps improve circulation to the spot and heal the inflammation. So I do that. What you're looking for, he said, is for it to hurt for half a minute and then go numb. If you get that numb/feel better feeling, then it's working. If not, don't do it. I have that, so I do it every time I do my exercises, afterwards. I also found another exercise to strengthen my arm using the Flexbar. You hold the end of the bar with the majority of it sticking upright. Then extend your arm and just wiggle the bar back and forth front-ways and then side-ways. It also hurts a bit, but you can put your other arm on the affected one and feel how it's using those muscles. I don't do this as often. Really pleased with this. Even if it didn't improve anymore than where it's at now, I'd be happy. But I can only see it getting stronger and less painful the more I do it. I'll report back after a couple of weeks. UPDATE: It's now been a couple of weeks. My arm is great! It is a teeny tiny bit sore, but I use this Flexbar all throughout the day - just 1-2 twists anytime it starts to hurt (probably 6 twists total every day). I made a video now to help show you what I learned about using it. What helps. Basically, I keep it by my bed to twist 1-2 times when I wake up. I keep it on my desk to twist if I'm every busy doing lots of keyboard to mouse stuff and it gets sore. I even take it in my car because if I'm running tons of errands and it ever gets achy or stiff, I do 1-2 twists at the stop light and I'm good to go! Really happy I found a solution without having to get cortisone shots. I'll probably order the next levels of resistance soon.

Haven’t used it to it’s fullest potential yet but from what I’ve been able to tryout it’s going to help me with building up my strength.

Tennis elbow "almost" gone. No other product has been working for me. Even though there is pain, I continued using this FlexBar and my tennis elbow is 90% gone. Often times I feel the pain going away within a few minutes using FlexBar. Some say let your elbow rest a few months. That does not work. When you play tennis after a few months of rest, the pain will come right back. The only way to fix tennis elbow is to strengthen it, at least in my case. I am trying to figure out different FlexBar exercises to fix the remaining 10% pain fix.

Wonderful for my Occupational therapy

This got me on the road to recovery from tennis elbow. The doctor put me in a brace, which actually made the pain worse, so I switched to this strategy. At first, I could barely perform the exercise on the injured side. It took a couple months of 15-20 reps per day before it felt easy. 8 months later, I have been able to return to yoga and weightlifting without pain.
