 Be Patient; It Works Dec 09, 2010
By Bonnie M. Sharpless
My doctor diagnosed my tennis elbow in September and had me wear one of those bands on my arm. After about a week, it had only gotten worse. I did a little research online and read about this item, so I figured I'd give it a try.
I started with 5 reps at a time, 3 times a day. After a week, I went up to 10 reps, and after another week, I went up to 15 reps. For the first couple of weeks, I saw no improvement. Once I got up to 15 reps, it seemed like it was getting a little better, but I wasn't sure it wasn't just in my mind. I kept at it, though (stubborn, I am), and after a couple more weeks, the improvement was undeniable. It has now been about two months, and my elbow feels oh-so-much better. I still have a little pain, but nothing like it was.
Now, I can't say for sure that this thing was what did it, but I didn't do anything else. It sure beats drugs or surgery!
I used the green bar. I'm an average-sized woman without particularly good upper body strength, and it seemed about right for me.

 There are better solutions than this May 20, 2010
By Webdog
It did seem to help for elbow tendonitis, as I read about in the NYT article, but I think there's a problem with this solution. You have to compress the tendon to twist this up before you get the benefit of having the muscle/tendon pulled while releasing the twist. What I think is a much better solution, and I've tried it just once, is the forearm weight strengthening apparatus you find in every gym and fitness center. It's a 18" PVC pipe, 2 1/2" in dia. with a hole drilled in the middle and a rope threaded through the hole and knotted. There's a weight (about 5-10lb) on the end of the rope. Wrap the rope around the pipe and support your forearms chest high and unwind the rope slowly letting the weight go to the floor. In other words, instead of using the device to pull the weight up, use it just to lower the weight to the floor. Do that until your forearms are exhausted. I did that just once and I forgot I even had a problem.

Flexbar Review Oct 28, 2009
By John V. Madormo
Having suffered from tennis elbow for about two years, I am always looking for products to reduce discomfort. I found the "heavy" Flexbar to be helpful in building up strength and muscle in my elbow. I would recommend this product to anyone with tennis elblw.
