 Choose Color Carefully Jan 28, 2010
By R. Dominick
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.

 Flex bar worked for me! :) Jun 01, 2010
By BP

I got Tennis Elbow from golfing in 2003. (pain on the outside elbow joint) I had cortisone shots 2 years in a row to at the suggestions of several people. Each time the pain came back. Then I tried acupuncture. That helped for a while as well, but the pain came back again. I wore the strap on my forearm to lower the pain while golfing. This was tolerable, but not the long term solution.
I heard about the flex bar and googled it on the internet. This was over a year ago. This is the only thing that has worked for me. I have been pain free for over a year. I continue to use it occasionally as preventive medicine.

The best way to treat elbow tendinitis! May 27, 2010
By Sandal

I have both golf elbow and tennis elbow in both arms, which is pretty funny considering I don't play and rarely do anything with repetitive motion. I was treated with ultrasound, localized steroids, and given the standard exercises. Only the exercises helped, but I had to do them a couple of times a day, they only provided partial relief, and if I stopped the pain came right back and it would take a week or two of exercising to get them to calm down again.
I saw the article about the Tyler Twist with Flexbar in the NY Times, ordered the red one and consider it the best money I ever spent on a health care product.
If you go to YouTube you can see better videos of the exercises than were available in 2009 when the Times article appeared. Just search for Theraband Flexbar. The Tyler Twist and Reverse Tyler Twist are really simple exercises - quick and very effective. And I never needed to go up to the next resistance (green). Every couple of months the elbows start to get sore, I whip out the red bar, do the exercises and two days later the pain is gone.
If you have either tennis elbow or golf elbow you can't do any better than to use this product. Quick, cheap and easy - can't beat that. Thank you Theraband and Tim Tyler!

Cured my tennis elbow -- with time and the Tyler Twist Nov 14, 2009
By Timothy Blankenhorn
This worked great for me, but with these provisos.
1. You have to look up the Tyler Twist on Google to figure out which exercise to do. It's a specific exercise for tennis elbow that isolates and stretches the tight, tense muscle at the root of the pain. This exercise doesn't come with this product.
2. The stretching helps right away, but tendons take a while to heal, so don't expect an overnight cure. Figure on at least three weeks.
3. This blue is okay for fit men, but probably the green is the starting point for most people.

Blue bar for stronger guys Mar 18, 2010
By Mrs. Lucinda Ramos
The blue flexbar is listed for heavier resistance to twisting.
I am strong and athletic with only minor tennis elbow issues,
and the blue has ample resistance but not too much. Strong guys... buy the blue!
If you'd like to try the exercises, before buying a Flexbar,
you can use a simple pool toy. I mean the long brightly colored foam tubes that are
three inches in diameter and about five feet long and cost only a couple of bucks.
Cut off about a foot and give it a twist!
The real Flexbar has much greater range of twist and is very heavy and appears durable.
