A Good Tool March 17, 2010

Most people probably haven't ever heard of eccentric exercise, which is the type of exercise these bars provide. Eccentric, or "negatives" as bodybuilders call them, are basically the lowering portion of an exercise. For instance, if you lift a weight over your head and lower it, the lifting is the "concentric" part, and the lowering of the weight is the "eccentric" part.
Without a doubt, this is one interesting tool you can use that will provide eccentric exercise for your wrist muscles. So what's the big deal with eccentrics? Well, there have been studies showing that when people with tendonitis conditions do just the eccentric part of an exercise, they get better. Problem is, there are tennis elbow studies specifically showing that if you do just the concentric (or lifting part) only, you get better too (Martinez-Silvestrini 2005). Therefore, eccentric exercise, as this tool most surely provides, will help tendonitis, but its far from a "magic" cure, and you can achieve the same results as doing "concentrics" with a light dumbbell.
Perhaps more importantly though, people with tennis elbow need to know that resistance exercise is just ONE part of what you need to be doing to totally get rid of your tennis elbow.
Studies on tennis elbow and eccentric exercise, such as the one I quoted above, had patients ALSO do stretching exercises and I know of no studies that have had people with tennis elbow do just eccentric exercise alone and they've gotten better. Therefore, suggest people with tennis elbow check out this tool, as well as books like Treat Your Own Tennis Elbow for a well-rounded program. Good luck.
Blue bar for stronger guys March 18, 2010

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.

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!

I had a mild case of tennis elbow. I had been following my physiotherapist advice for four months without any noticeable gains. I bought the Thera-band after reading an article in the New York Times. It didn't cost much and I figured I didn't have much to lose. I did the recommended exercises three times a day for two weeks and it worked. I now no longer have my mild case of tennis elbow.

I saw the article in the NYT's and the video how to use on you tube. Having recovered from tennis elbow (TE) I was interested. The product is amazing. The exercise flexes the exact muscles and connective tissue involved in TE. I would reccomend this product.
