FlexBar, Tennis Elbow Therapy

This comes recommended by my OT for building hand/wrist strength post surgery. It is easy to grasp firmly to execute strength-building exercises. Good value, too.

This is just what the PT people use in the hospital, clinics, etc. It is great for strengthen and working your tennis elbow issues. The price was good, stiffness is great for just starting out (this yellow one is great beginner one as it doesn't take a lot of pressure to twist it) with a terrible sore elbow and then you can work up.

Started with green, have moved on to blue. I do four exercises- twisted 180 degree clockwise and CCW, bending up into a U, and down into an arc, holding all four in position 30 seconds. Short, easy, do it any time. Surface has striations for good grip. Have increased forearm muscles and mad a significant different in my grip and arm strength. Actually the four exercises will stress arms and shoulders building them to. A really satisfying exercise….

After 6 weeks of physical therapy appointments and dutifully doing the home exercise routine and stretches for tennis elbow with no improvement, I found a New York Times article that reported very impressive results from a study of people with tennis elbow using this device to do an exercise called a "Tyler twist," and decided to try it. I chose the red one and it seems to have been the right option for me, a moderately active young woman. The manual that comes with it pretty clearly explains how to do the exercise the Times article mentions. I've been doing 3 sets of 15 daily for the last two months or so, and while my tennis elbow is not cured, my pain has decreased dramatically. Now I can't definitively attribute the improvement to this exercise, maybe it was just a coincidence. The orthopedist told me there's basically nothing you can do about tennis elbow but wait, so either he's wrong and this thing is miraculous, or it was just my elbow's time to feel better. At $15 I'm not losing sleep over the uncertainty. Update: a few months later, I am totally cured. Hurray!

Gives your arms/shoulders a good workout. EZ to use and store. Nice, durable design. Good value.

Great product. I bought it to help with my physical therapy. I can do all the exercises that my PT needs me to do when I am not in the office.

Best for starting out, then graduating to the green.

My occupational therapist recommended I buy this to strengthen my grip, my forearms etc. it is lightweight but provides enough resistance to be effective.
