It really does helpSeptember 26, 2009 M. Edwards(Sterling, IL United States) 12 out of 12 found this review helpful
I bought this because I read (and watched a video) about how this could be used as a treatment for tennis elbow. I've been doing the exercise 3 times a day for about a month, and it really helps. I can now straighten my arm without pain, and I'm able to lift some light-weight items without the fear of dropping them. I still have a ways to go, but it sure beats getting shots in an already-painful elbow that send you bouncing off the ceiling!
Great physical therapy and exerciseJanuary 3, 2007 Lisa Ivanov(Hendersonville,NC) 11 out of 12 found this review helpful
I purchased this after using the product in physical therapy for a nerve disorder in my arm. I find it useful for keeping my strength up. It is good exercise even if you have no arm problems. I also find it good to roll on my back for a mini-massage.
Good product, much better than Cando BarOctober 7, 2009 Scott Walker(Goleta,Ca) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
All the Thera-Band "flexbars are quality products. I bought all three stiffness red(light) green(medium) and blue (heavy), so that I could find the correct level for me to do "tennis elbow" "eccentric contraction" exercises. The green seemed about right for me, 175lb male. I also bought 4 different Cando flexible hand bars: red (light), green(medium), blue(heavy), and black(x-heavy). All four colors felt about the same. To check my sense of feel, I measured the force required to bend the bars to 90 degrees. The forces were as follows: red- 10.2 lb, green- 8.2lb, blue- 11.2lb, black- 10.4lb. The Cando bars appear to be trying to compete with the There-Band "Flexbar". Using my measurements the force to bend these bars 90 degrees are red- 2.3lb, green- 4.3lb, blue- 6.5lb. All the Cando bars are too stiff. It is clear to me that there is no concern about quality by the makers of the Cando bar. How else could one explain that a "light" red bar having about the same stiffness as a black "x-heavy" bar.
Great for FishermenMarch 29, 2009 John C. Sisson(Maryland) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Excellent product. Easy to maintain a good grip while training. Provides exercise for muscles used in deep sea fishing, with results that are difficult to achieve with dumbells or other methods.

This product is great for folks who have arm and shoulder problems. It was used as part of my official physical therapy regime after I dislocated my shoulder, and I ordered one for my own use at home, because it was so helpful.
