I developed a lingering case of tennis elbow in both elbows earlier this year from too much rock climbing without enough rest. Every time I thought my injury was gone, it came back as soon as I started any activity, and I had elbow pain for the past few months. I did a lot of research online and came across this product. Based on other customer reviews, I ordered it, and have been very happy with the results. I can feel it stretching and strengthening the tendons around my elbow, and my pain has diminished and is nearly gone. I purchased the red bar, and plan to keep using as a preventative measure against recurrent tennis elbow. I might buy the green one next. I recommend this product to anyone suffering from tennis elbow.

It's rare I can say a product cures an ailment, in fact I can't remember ever making that claim.This bar cures tennis elbow. I used it over the course of a week and the pain mostly disappeared. I still had about 1-5% of the pain in surrounding muscles that didn't seem to get touched by the exercises. After a few more weeks (not using the bar), I had absolutely no pain at all. I've remained pain free for about a year and I only pick up the thera band to show others how to use it.I've had three friends that it helped in the same manner, one was about to quit tennis, now he is playing in the leagues without a tennis elbow brace. One friend it didn't help, but I am not sure he was doing the exercises correctly. Either way, the anecdotal evidence and research is strong and backs my claim.If you have tennis elbow, buy it or borrow one from a friend. You won't be sorry.

I'm a 42 year old guy and an avid golfer. Five months ago I got new clubs and went a little overboard at the practice range. For five months I've been battling very mild to severe elbow pain looking just like "tennis elbow". It would get better, then I'd play golf, and start over with the pain again. I've iced, exercised, taken ibuprofen, etc., and nothing made it go away completely.Received my red and green bars yesterday morning. I immediately read the directions and then started to do the "tennis elbow" exercise. You can really feel it working the injured area. On the third rep, I heard and felt a loud pop from my elbow joint. After that the pain went almost completely away and was replaced with the kind of pain you feel after exercise. Did it again this morning and "pop" went the elbow again.I'm not saying this will work for everyone as good as it did so far for me, but it can't hurt. Thank you Theraband!

I've never written a review before, but I just had to express my gratitude for the creators of Thera-band. For several months now, I've been unable to play guitar due to "guitar elbow" - Rest, Ice, and Advil helped a little, but the pain ALWAYS came back. I worked with the green thera-band 3 times a day for a week, and was able to play guitar today with significantly reduced pain, it can only get better as I continue to work with the thera-band!

I have been to a number of local sports and retail stores and none could match the price and quality of this product. I am using it for one of my at-home physical therapy exercises to recover my loss of strength following a "cervical spine discectomy with fusion" operation. It has met my expectations 100%.

This is a great product and a great manual. It is nice to get what you pay for this product gives you more and it works.

I was getting depressed because I thought I would have to give up tennis which I have been enjoying for 15 years (45 now). Had tendonitis on both arms for 5 months. 2 weeks with the Flexbar and it's almost gone. Only hurts immediately after playing but by the next day the pain is gone. I used the red for 1 week, the green for the 2nd week and I am now starting the 3rd week with the blue. When the red arrived the pain was so bad I could barely twist it even though my 11 year old can twist it easily. Within a week, the red was too easy. The green was tough and still caused some discomfort. Now after a week of that, the green is soooo easy and no pain. Started the blue yesterday and I can do with almost negligible discomfort. The inventor of this product deserves a medal.

My physical therapist introduced this device to me. It worked well enough on my tennis elbows that I decided to buy one for home. It really seems to work.

This is a product I 100% support. I used this extensively during physical therapy, and I attribute a lot of my recovery from tennis elbow to the Flex Bar. Kudos do the designer -- it changed my life, or at least got it back to normal.

I have been suffering from tennis elbow for about 2 years and it is not only one elbow but both. After working preparing IV's in a big hospital, dealing with large syringes, opening vials and boxes, my elbows started getting sore and inflammed. I have already received 5 shots of cortisone and the last one was 3 weeks ago on my right elbow. After my 4th shot, I promissed to myself that I would never have any other injection in my elbow because I have been afraid from the side effects (which I had a couple of times) and the risk of tendon rupture. I am a physician assitant student in a osteopathic school and I have even tried manipulations but still it did not work. After removing snow from my car for about 5 days in a row, my right elbow started getting red and swollen, the pain was getting worse and worse up to a point that I could not bend my elbow anymore. The joint and the tendon were as stiff as a rock. I decided that there was not other option than getting a shot again which I did. Twelve days later the inflammation was pretty much reduced, the pain was better but I still could not bend my elbow more than 80 degrees which was very frustating specially when you are a fulltime student, need to carry a backpack and need to write (the right elbow was the one affected). I decided to try something else and I saw the flexbar and all the comments that everybody posted (pretty good in the vast majority). It has been 7 days that I have been using the red bar and I can tell you that from a 80 degrees I can already touch my ear lobes and do other tasks that were impossible due to the pain and the tendon stiffness. I am already treating the other elbow which hurts a little, to see how much better it can get. In addition I have been using the elbow braces to avoit hurting the elbows when lift something heavier. I will update in the future and let you guys know how my elbows are. So far it has been a great purchase and I wish I had bought this product before. It has helping me a lot for sure.

I purchased a flex bar for wrist and hand therapy. I liked this one (red) so much I purchased two more red bars for my adult sons.

I have been using this Theraband Exerciser to build up strength in my arms and hands due to both arms being broken.

I had Rotator cuff surgery and this was one of the tools in Physical Therapy. It works great for shoulder therapy. I use it a few times a day and it has helped strengthen my shoulder. I would definitely recommend this product.

Theraband FlexBar - Blue - A18225 03I feel like this is truly worthy of review. I have been an active, competitive tennis player since the 80's (I am in mid 40's) and have had some degree of elbow pain the entire time.While I could usually work through it with aspirin/Advil/ice and resting the arm, recently it became so bad that I had to quit playing for over a month.The elbow felt like it was on fire, very sharp and burning pain was almost non stop, even after not playing for couple weeks. Everyone told me it was either my strings or my racquet. Someone I play with had just come back from elbow problems and told me about this product and had also used the blue one.I could tell within couple days that the pain was almost gone. Doing the tyler twist exercise daily has made my elbow pain almost completely go away.If your elbow pain is limiting your activity, you really owe it to yourself to check this out. The price is low and the results will come. No need for surgery, or roids, etc...If your elbow hurts, buy this now, and end the frustration of sitting out while your buds all play!!

Works well, as described. They have a bit less resistance than I expected, but I didn't try to measure the force required.

The item was exactly as promised, thanks for helping to spread the ability to strengthen and flex while assuring less chance of injury for our young high school golfer!THANKS!!

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.

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 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.
