I purchased the heavy version of the Thera-Band Flexbar to do exercises to treat tennis elbow. It is very pliable and soft and surprisingly wimpy in the resistance category. I am in pretty good shape but not especially beefy or muscular. I didn't notice if there was a extra heavy version when purchasing it, but would recommend that version, if available, for such purposes.

The theraband flexbar works GREAT for tennis elbow. My only problem, was the instructions that came with it did not describe the exercise for tennis elbow, I had to look that up online. But a great device.

i buy this product for my tennis elbow... after doing several days as the video, i really hard to tell it's work or not....

Good product. I'm using it to heal tennis elbow and it is a big help. Make sure, however, you select the right tension for your intended use. For tennis elbow therapy you pre-twist the bar and then release the twist with your hurt arm. The blue bar is very stiff and challenging to twist. It would likely be painful for a moderate to severe case of tennis elbow. I suggest the red or green bar for tennis elbow. For strength building by bending the bar, the blue is challenging but fine. For reference I am a 48 year old male, 6'3", in good shape, who plays competitive tennis 5 times a week. I hope this is helpful.

received in time and so far so good. trying to avoid surgery on elbow.

The advantage of the Thera-band is that it's small and portable. I can throw it in my suitcase when travelling. I use it for strength training and therapeutically for stretching.

To be honest, I haven't even tried it yet. I ended up getting a shot in my elbow because the pain was so bad. Exercise didn't seem to help it. But I have the Flexbar & will use it if the elbow acts up again in the future!

I was looking for something to use for upper body and arm exercise without having to go to a gym. I found it with the Flexbar, and have found it to be very effective.
