 Rehab for the wrist July 21, 2010
Linda Shumake
I bought this based on reviews by the health and training industries. It has worked wonders for the tendinitis in the left wrist. I would only recommend this for people who are familiar with physical therapy or personal training in the gym. It is easy to use and follow directions, but if you are not sure about your condition, you can injure yourself.
 Tennis elbow July 6, 2010

I use the theraband flex bar every day at work. Three months ago
pain was gradully worse and was losing sleep at night with throbbing pains in the elbow and forarm. Icing arm at work and at home 2 to 4 trimes a day.
After the theraband flex bar for 3 weeks the pain is geadually less.
I use ice ocassionally at work and sometimes in the night. I also have had 2 cortisone shots in the elbow.
I know the problem came on slowly over a lone time but with continued use if the Flexbay and occaional icing I am getting better.
Works great June 24, 2010

The exercises it shows you in the booklet will help. You can definitely feel it, in a good way. I like that the booklet shows you a few different ways to hold it that make a big difference in the work for your arm.

I had recurring tendonitis in my right elbow. I've been using these bars to do the Tyler Twist (look up this exercise online - there's a good article in the New York Times about it). Started out with the red bar and worked up to the green bar. As far as I'm concerned these bars have completely cured my tendonitis. I still use them to keep up the strength in my arms and prevent the tendonitis from coming back.
It's good quality June 12, 2010

It's a good item, the red one is light resistance. Might be best to order the red and the next resistance up so as to have both.
