5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, yet very effective
Was given the link for this on a FA group as a recommendation for tennis elbow. Well actually turns out I've an impingement to the front of my shoulder on a nerve running down my arm creating pains, discomfort and tingling in my fingers some times too. This has alleviated a lot of the discomfort already, works really well, yet so simple. I've mixed using this with a few stretching exercises to free up the nerve, let it glide through my tendons better, or from what I believe is the cause, and over the last few days it's been great. Still a bit to go I reckon, but has really helped a lot. May seem expensive to some for what is a essentially a piece of rubber, but I'll continue to use it with exercises as I try to correct my bad posture which is causing my problems to begin with.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great but using it is about timing
So I have had tennis elbow for a year. Basically rested it for a year. Became active again after the pain died away and it flared back up again. All that 'self-limiting' condition rubbish turns out to be wrong, at least in my case.So, rather than rest it, waiting for the tendon to heal, what I needed to do was to strengthen my forearm muscles that I somehow damaged doing gardening and playing my fiddle too much....So this is a great tool back to stronger forearms. But not alone and definitely not too soon. For me I have used gentle NHS exercises (freely available) for about two weeks. I have got myself a compression sleeve too and a warm pad. I also have one of the pressure straps too which pushes directly down on the muscle a little below the knobbly bit in the elbow where the pain is.My pre-work routine now is do my NHS exercises, use this bar doing the twist and release exercise until my forearms tire (but don't hurt) then put nurofen gel on my elbow and massage it in. Then I put the compression sleeve on for my working day.I have been doing Aikido with the pressure strap on and this feels good. I am gently returning to the fiddle for about 5 mins a day, again with the pressure strap.So far so good. No relapse. The elbow does seem to pain me occasionally but it is short-lived. I generally apply nurofen gel, massage it in, put the sleeve on and rest a day or so.My arms are feeling stronger and with that the pain seems to be receding.This is my experience but if you are plagued like me with this absolute 'pain in the proverbials' of an injury it's worth a go.So, in a nutshell...this is good but don't use it too much, too soon. In combination with other things though, it works a treat
4.0 out of 5 stars Used this to treat golfers elbow
I have a bit of golfers elbow from over playing tennis. Thought I'd try one of these before it got bad, hence I have the harder to twist green and blue ones as I am not in chronic pain. It does work - you twist it with good arm and then let the bad one slowly release at the wrist (the aim is to extend the injured tendon under tension). This with a bit of stretching and massage helps it to heal stronger (you want to break up weak scar tissue and replace it with strong tissue). I have noticed a difference allowing me to play more.However you can do the same thing by just putting your bad arm on your leg or a chair arm and then using your good arm/body weight to push down your on clenched fingers as you strain against it. This actually works better then the flexbar as you have finer control over the amount and angle of the pressure.So in summary:+it does work.+it's easy to keep at your desk, or by the sofa and then do a few reps.-it's even easier to do an exercise without the bar.-the bars can corkscrew a bit with sufficient torque (ie. the full twist you see the big muscled guys on youtube do) which is non ideal.-the blue bar is too wide to grip easily unless you have monster hands.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality product
Has definitely helped ease my elbow pain.
5.0 out of 5 stars Really Useful and Effective
I bought one of these because I had pain on the inside bony part of the elbow. Searching the internet this is called Medial Epicondyltis. Otherwise known as ‘golfers elbow’ or ‘climbers elbow’ and is damage to the tendons of the forearm. It is usually caused by overuse such as taking up a new sport or activity too quickly, and in my case was very sore and painful. Looking on various internet sites the FlexBar is suggested as a means of rehabilitation.The FlexBar is a 12 inch long round bar made of a dry rubber material and has a ridged surface. They come in different colours that have a different level of resistance. Red is the lighter one, then green with the blue bar having the highest resistance. I decided to go for the green one and this seems to offer the right level of resistance for me.As others have mentioned this arrives with a booklet of exercises written only in German. However it doesn’t take long to find descriptions of the exercises to do on the internet.I found a very useful You Tube video - search for ‘ Intrinsi, formally The English Osteopaths’. They have a video called ‘How to use a Theraband Flexbar for wrist, elbow or shoulder rehab’ – this covers all the exercises you can do. Also the ‘Thera-band Academy’ site has a leaflet you can download in English and details of exercises. It is also worth searching for the ‘Tyler Twist’ (for tennis elbow) and ‘Reverse Tyler Twist’ (for golfers elbow).Most of the exercises for tendonitis problems are what are known as ‘eccentric’ exercising. This is a fairly well established concept and means exercising a tendon by starting with it contracted and then letting it extend under load. This is how both the ‘Tyler twist’ for tennis elbow and ‘reverse Tyler Twist’ for golfers elbow work. There are other exercises that can be performed with the FlexBar for wrist, forearms and shoulders.I have combined using this with stretching exercises and t only take a few minutes each day. I have had an almost immediate improvement in my elbow. Obviously may not work for everyone but in my experience so far, well worth the money.
It actually worked
I work on a commercial furniture manufacturing machine 10 hour shifts and the repeatative lifting, twisting, and forcing of work pieces had resulted in extreme pain in my elbows and forearm-tendons. I couldn't lift a glass of water without pain after suffering through a shift. I was using braces of the golfer's and tennis elbow type (I had both conditions at the same time) and chowing down Ibuprofen but while it [barely] got me through the days, it wasn't improving and I was useless at home.I read the reviews on the Theraband. I was extremely doubtful but desperate and fed up. Ordered the green one.I'd seen how to use it for elbow tendonitis before it arrived. I claimed to my wife this wasn't going to work, I performed the exercise, and immediately I knew I was wrong. The first time I used it (yes I struggled to use it at first b/c the pain and tendons), I felt it target the worst parts and gently stretch them out. A few more reps and I felt relief for the first time in months. I've been using it daily (it quickly became easier to twist as the pain subsided) for a few weeks ,and, long before now -within a couple of days of receiving it- I have no pain in my forearms at all. I still have a spot inthe "funny-bone-nerve channel" that twinges when I lift heavy objects, but even that is getting better. This seemingly unimpressive piece of rubber has drastically improved my quality of life and saved my livlihood despite my initial skepticism. If you're on the fence, try it. I can't argue with the results and would recommend it. It has many other exercises for a myriad of conditions as well. Use it on feet souls/heels (10 hours on feet on factory cement) and back (realign the spine on floor)
