One year later update: I posted a year ago on how after a couple of weeks the flexbar/stick combo fixed my golfer's elbow, so i thought to give you all an update. Still doing great. Been lifting the heavy weights i once was used to back before my pain caused me to cease and desist. Have recommended this solution to others and they also have had great success. Feels good to be able to help others in need, like myself. Thanks again Jamie!

HI dean, ive had golfers elbow for 2 months and these exercises were working really great for me as well (started 10 days ago), so i started easing back into more band exercises for shoulders and what but then had a setback curling 3 pounds (eccentric i could do 8lbs 3x10) so i got depressed about it and now i have to restart with the yellow bar tyler, my question: what exercises did you avoid while rehabing? any thoughts there, many thanks

My tennis elbow has been active for about 10 months. My arma are neutral and good when i dont exercise but as soon as i try the tyler twists with the flexbar i feel my lateral epicondylitis flare up. Is that normal?

The fact that you give an explanation while showing the movement is great, keep up the good work. A big fan. Thank you.

Just bought this and it made a huge difference in just 5 minutes! Going to use this everyday now! Thanks a million

Thank you, you're the only video I found that explains precisely how to do the movement. Getting to it right now!

Thanks! Helped stress from rock climbing. You explained it really easily for me to follow.

I've watched a few videos on this topic that were made by other KZreadrs. This video is quick and concise. Well done and I'll recommend it to others

Thank you Jamie. Your advice has helped me to greatly reduce my pain which I have suffered with for 2 years. I got the injury doing housework and DIY, nothing olympic about my activities but the pain was really effecting what I could do day to day. I bought my theraband and felt better within a couple of days of starting the exercises. The pain has reduced so much that I sometimes forget to do my exercises! I have sent your videos to my husband for his wrist and shoulder pains. Yours was the best and most effective advice I received. Thanks again.

Great videos Jamie. I'd been struggling with G.E. through playing too much tennis with stiff frames and strings - After diagnosis I was doing the light weight wrist flexes and rubber band finger extensions but nothing much was happening to improve things. I have been doing these exercises for a month or so and the improvement is excellent! The key is to start light and work up - too heavy a bar or too aggressive at the start will set you back. I have been able to play again tennis again with flexible racquets and nat gut strings, with no pain or regression! I will be going up to the Green bar soon, and keep doing these exercises as part of my stay in shape routine forever. Many thanks.

Flexbar on order. I feel confident this will work for me. Great explanation and demonstration! Thank you very much, Jamie, for sharing your expertise.

I used your video on tennis elbow about a year and a half or so ago and haven't had a problem since. I've now got a really painful case of golfer's elbow in my other elbow this time so I'll be using this. Hopefully I won't lose a whole year of training like I did with tennis elbow trying so many things before I found your video. Really, that tennis elbow video was a lifesaver. I was going crazy being stuck not able to make any gains because of the pain.

Bought the flexbars few weeks back and started the massage on forearms. Within about 3 to 4 days I really began to notice the pain going away. Now I have no pain and have been slowly doing some arm exercises (like curls, pull downs) and am monitoring how I feel. So far so good. Have had golfer's elbow for a few years now and this is very encouraging and exciting to see relief. Thanks Jamie!

Feels much better after a few mins. Thanks for the video!

Thank you for posting this, one session and my pain is already abating.

Excellent content and superb delivery....thanks!

If you suffer from this - RUN - as fast as you can & get both of these sticks immediately!!! I never write reviews- but this blew me away! Had Golfers Elbow x 12 wks....nothing was helping- rest, ice, stretching, massaging, immobilizing braces....got these two items and in one day unbelievable difference! i swear....I can hardly believe this. I will be a dedicated user to prevent this disabling condition in future years - bought the stronger band for maintenance. The cost is minimal compared to the price of pain, lack of activity and doctor appts! wow! Last yr I got same injury from repetitive motion issue at work...2 months physiotherapy...no improvement finally caved for the steroid injection and it disappeared. I'm a nurse and know injections aren't great for your tissue long term so needed a better solution- it's my freaking dominant right arm...can't live without it! finally an answer the docs didn't even touch on! YOU ROCK for sharing this!!!!!

Shut up, you hysteric

Thanks for the great video - to the point, easy to follow and good explanations on all the exercises! I've been doing this for the past few weeks and my elbow pain has almost gone completely. I have the green flexbar but just ordered the blue one using your link as I feel the green is getting fairly easy. BTW I don't have the stick so decided to use what I do have to loosen the muscles - the flexbar. By resting it against a table and leaning my forearm into it, I find it a very good substitute!

Very good video and advice! Thank you very much! I just ordered a few thera-band flexbars from amazon and give this a go. Thanks again Jamie!

Thanks for creating and sharing this. I appreciate it!

You're a saint, this worked. Saw huge improvement in less than a week.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! This healed it!

Wow, ordered the stick and flexbar and have been using for just a couple of days and can't believe the difference! I've been suffering from both tennis elbow and golfer's elbow and this is doing the trick! Thanks very much!

bought one because of your video, thank you!

Excellent video Jimmy ...

Dude you are awesome...please keep this stuff up!

Thanks so much Jamie. I had Golfer's elbow for over a year and it just wouldn't go away. Pullups kept aggravating it. I borrowed a friend's flexbar for a few weeks and the pain magically disappeared. Totally gone and I'm still doing my pullups. If only I could fix the rest of my body ailments as easily.

Great video. I have been having pain for months now. Just ordered the stick and the bar. I will let you know how it goes.

I nearly died when I tried the pronation, I'd say that exercise I may have to wait for lol. Awesome video. Thank you man!

Hello Jamie, Thank you for your instructional videos. I play tennis about 4 days per week. I had tennis elbow, on-and-off, for over 10 years. The last bout was the worst. So I tried using your tennis elbow exercises. To my surprise, the pain is gone! I now have a moderate case of golfer's elbow and, starting today, am using the exercises in this video to try to cure it. With appreciation, Hugh

2 days in and I forgot how painful it was. Thanks . Going to share this video

These two are really awesome! My wife was having Tanis elbow problem for last few months and after consulting doctors and physiotherapist there was no relief at all. I order these two and she is doing exercise as suggested in this video . She is now having relief in her elbow pain. Thump-up dude This really works!!

Thanks Jamie. Working on the golfer's elbow now.

Found the Theraband Flexbar on Amazon after getting desperate after 6+ months of golfer's elbow. Took time away from the game, didn't swing a club for 3 months and there was zero progress. Not being able to play at all or play pain-free is certainly frustrating, but it was the day-to-day activities around the house where the pain would flare up that would be the most concerning. When looking on Amazon at the flexbar, I saw a review that pointed to this video from Jamie Dreyer and while I didn't experience immediate relief like some other folks in the comments, after a couple of weeks of doing these exercises (mainly the first one) 4-5 days a week, the progress has been very uplifting. Not out of the woods yet but there is light at the end of the tunnel now. Have moved on from the 10 pound resistance bar (the one in this video) to the 15 pound one to keep progressing. Thank you Jamie!

Hey quick question - i just got the green flexbar and have been using it for about 3-4 days. I normally only had pain when I was doing chin ups, curls, etc. but ever since I started using it - the pain started to pop out of the blue during the day. Is this normal? Is it one of those things where it has to get worse before it gets better? Thanks!

Fab video! I’ve been rehabbing my GE since January and I ordered the Red one and it’s just arrived. I play darts and I’ve not been at the board this year 😢 Upsetting and very frustrating. Looking forward to trying this out. Thank you 👍

What about using a wrist roller? Roll the thing up on the ground, pick it up, and do eccentrics. I've been using it, and it seems to work well; it also allows you to load more gradually with plates. Obviously, it can't do pronation though.

I have gone to numerous physical therapist and no luck.. I have done this for about 3 weeks now, and am starting to feel the results. I have had this for over 8 months! I do use an ultrasound as well.

Wow I thought the flexbar must be a gimmick but really needed relief so I ordered it, and just one day after these reps my elbow feels better than it has in weeks. Thanks Jamie!

these exercises, repeated 10-15X per exercise per set, 1 - 2 sets per day, cleared up my golfer's elbow quickly and efficiently

Jamie, i'm liking the flexbar for my golfer's elbow. My question is if I also do the exercises for the uninjured arm will it impede the progress of the injured arm since I'll be stressing the injured arm to work the other?

@Jamie Dreyer Greetings sir. Thanks for making this video along with your others. I have been using these exercises with the red bar you are using for 1.5 weeks and after 1 week the burning in my elbows went away for the most part finally, thanks a bunch! It feels like I have been stagnant for the past several days as it has not felt better and I keep reading back through your comments about how often to do these. I see at one place you state 4 days a week and another place you have said everyday you can do it. My elbows feel the best right after I finish these works. My question is would it be bad to do these more than once a day if it feels better from it? I don't want to overdue the tendon in my elbows (I have golfers elbow in both arms sadly so its a pain trying to reduce using my arms for daily life in both). After I do the workouts my tendon area feels very tight and not burning or aching so its a relief.

Awesome video thank you

Thanks for sharing mate!!

Thank you very much

Great video. I have recovering lateral epicondylitis of the left elbow and medial epicondylitis of the right. Both caused by too much golfing and too much training on the driving range. Am I in danger of reinjuring the left elbow while loading the tension on the Flexbar to treat the right elbow? Very happy with the Flexbar, which I purchased at the recommendation of a P.T. while in treatment for lateral epicondylitis of the left elbow last year.

Will let you know how this goes, rest, ice and a bit of DIY trigger work really helped me (it was painful to even close my car door), as did slightly changing my routine (no more weighted pull ups and only doing rows with a supinated grip, no deads or cleans :-/). It's gotten about 75% better to the point that I get little to no pain everyday and very little when training. It's now more of an annoyance, these exercises seemed to really hit where I feel my weak links are. I'll give it a month. Great vid! I'm thinking 3 sets of 8-12 depending on feel 4 days a week?

I did one rep and my elbow feel so much better. Thx so much!

Thanks, seems to be working. Gotta say, sweet Tshirt!

Great video, excellent job of explaining everything thoroughly! Question for you, the first exercise hurts my wrist because of my anatomy, where as the third one does not. To that end, does the third exercise achieve the same results as the first one? I ponder this because it would appear to be the reverse tyler twist in reverse so to speak. If so, I would prefer to just do the third one because I can't even stretch my flexors with my fingers facing down based on my anatomy.

Great thank you so much

I got my golfers elbow from bench pressing the other day, I must have had my wrist in a different position than normally cause Ive been weightlifting for 4 years now and have never had this happened to me. I'll be sure to consider buying this and using those exercises after I wait about a week or 2 and see how my elbow is then

I like it that, in your video here, you TALK (Uh, kinda important in helping understand just WHAT the various exercises are aimed toward. Some other videos just show someone twisting these various "Flexbars" without comments or explanations) and second, and most important to me is how this can help weakness in the WRIST, which I have. Hey y'all, it ain't just elbow problems ya know! ;) (FWIW, I have great hand strength except for my right wrist due to what seems to be some nerve damage, probably caused by a wrestling incident (Tossed on my head and slipped/broke my neck.) Now that was some 45 years ago that just decided to "flair" up in the nerves leading pretty much all down my right side.) Now I bought one of these, the "Green/Middle" type and while it appears to be actually WORKING in the two or so weeks I've used it, today I decided to also buy the "Red/Light" type because, for now, Green probably wasn't where I should've started. So I plan to twist them BOTH, for different-but similar effects. And then, after that I figure I'll just go back to the weights, assuming these bars do their job. 'Nuff said, just wanted to say your video was quite helpful! Good job ...

great video an easy to follow, just bought the flexbar, fingers crossed, will update my progress soon

Great Vid thanks

Thanks for the info! A tip: you can also use the flexbar itself (I use a Simien bar) to do the massage. (I tried your three exercises, and for the moment, not doing the second one as it was very painful when I tried. Maybe after I'm healed a bit more/stronger).

very smart, I am a dancer and I know about "isolating" this is great!!!

Thank you ^_^ I will follow your instructions and keep my fingers crossed ...(actually it hurts when I do that.. Doh..)

thanks very much brother

Great Video Jamie, i found after a week of doing these exercises using the equipment you suggest, the first of the three you describe gave me quite a lot of pain on the injured arm down the outside of my wrist (from the nobbly bit back by a few inches). Just wondered if you know why as i've had to stop doing that and the original pain is becoming more prevelant.

great - thank you for making this and uploading. i have a question if you dont mind: do you think working out while suffering from GE (gym - weight exercises) is a good idea or not..? personally i think all pulling movements are off the list with golfers elbow but what about pushing (presses?). Best.

I dont have a flex bar but a heavy frying pan will do the trick with some Lead (Pb) blocks and tape it on for more resistance. As for now similar excersises + stretching really reduced my pain in my elbow. Hope my pain will wear off in the future.

Pretty cool and simple exercises!

Hi Jamie! I just started doing these exercises to help elbow issues from climbing too much too soon. Do you know if there's any significant difference if you perform the Tyler twists with the thumb gripping on the same side as the other fingers, instead of wrapping around? The exercises feel much harder that way, but I don't know if it's something that is beneficial/matters at all/harmful for tendon issues. Thanks!

Fantastic video Jamie really appreciate your help. Just got my bar when first injured would you recommend to do it everyday or 2-3 times a week like the box says?

Hi, thanks for the videos. Solved my tennis elbow and am now doing the exercices for my Golfer's elbow. I went to the Fysio with little effect. She did frictions and advised me to put an ice pack on it 3-4 times a day. The massage bar, does it have the same effect as the frictions ? How much can I use the bar it in a day ? What do you think about the ice pack ? Regards,David

I got intersection Syndrome on my right arm.. recently started having treatment.. my physio told me to order this for next week

I’m an OT with medial epicondialitis. I should have known this. Thank you

feels so much better!! still gonna lift lighter for the next few weeks just incase

I'm 1 1/2 month into this elbow pain. Got mine pain from Crossfit I was doing Weighted pull ups. The Stick Idea is brilliant! I have a lacrosse ball also. I have tried to modify my workout but I think I will have to give my arms a total rest routine for a will or light weights

Hey Jamie, I'm big into rock climbing and am pretty sure that I've had this for a little while now (about a month), but I didn't know that this was what was causing it, so I didn't think much of it. Recently when I've stepped off the wall it's been causing some pretty bad pain, and now even small activities like ping-pong or lifting somewhat heavy things will set it off. Would you suggest resting for a period before starting rehab exercises? If so, how long? Thanks!!

Thank you so much for these videos! Ive been doing the exercises for about a week now and noticed a lot of improvements in strength! However, when I do the third exercise, I feel a lot of shifting in my right wrist, like bone/cartilage moving around. It's not very painful, but it is a little disconcerting. Is this normal, or should i drop that exercise?

Hi jamie I have pain for a week in the inside elbow. How should I know if I have golf elbow? And I playing tennis for 6 day in week with fitness. I want to return playing! Thank you

Do you still recommend doing the first exercise for medial/lateral 3 sets of 15 even on lifting days? I usually lift 4-5 days a week. Would you recommend doing it before or after a workout? So far I have noticed how much stronger my forearms are getting with the stick and thera-band. I appreciate all the help Jamie!

I'm on day three of these exercises with the green flexbar and it's amazing how much better my elbows feel. From the beginning I could feel that the pain was improving. It's still a bit sore, but it's an "old pain" feeling now, if you know what I mean. A pain that I can tell is going away, and not nearly as tender or restrictive as it was just 3 days ago. Is it possible to see improvement so quickly? Regardless, I'm sticking with it, and hoping these results will continue. Thanks, JD!

the pronation for really hurts... but thank you for the video the others 2 exercices feel good... so do you think the pronation is good if my medial epicondyle hurts that bad

great videos man just order all 4 flexbars

Hey Jamie I just received a cortisone shot for medial epicondylitis today. Your videos are very informative and I appreciate the help. How often/when do you recommend using the stick? (before lifting weights? after? etc.) Is this something you recommend doing everyday? And for the Thera-band (3 sets of 8-12 4 days a week) should this be done every week as a forearm strengthening exercise? I lift 4 days a week and usually don't incorporate any forearm isolation in my arm workouts because I feel that they get worked enough in most compounds lifts. Thanks for the help!

Hi Jamie .. thank you for your great videos .. I went to the dr .. he said that I have tennis elbow .. However the pain is from the inner area of my elbow to my fingers (for sure pressure on the nerve) I guess it's more likely a golf elbow .. can I do both tennis and golf elbow exercises? please help me out I am suffering from that for 10 months and it is noticed recently

thanks brother

Jamie I developed my golfer's elbow I believe from doing constant straight bar hangs (doing that for lumbar decompression) I would free hang for 1 minute sets. Also consistently doing external/internal rotation with a heavy thick theraband. And ofcourse other rotator cuff exercises. So my question is about how long should I rest my tendons ( have it in both elbows btw) before engaging in your demonstrated exercises?

Found this video. Thank you so much. This thing is killing me. Question should one try a work out while having this issue or not. If so are there movements one should avoid??

Purchasing my Flexbar now! I started rock climbing in January and have Golfer's Elbow in both arms so bad that it wakes me up at night. Looking forward to giving this a try.

+Jamie Dreyer Well I have the same problem. I just bought the Green Flexbar and I have a question. Everytime I am loading the movement to treat the Golfers elbow in, lets say, the right arm, am I not making it worst for the left arm problem? Because the way I see it, the exercise makes me work the opposing muscle, but since I have the problem in both arms too, I am always doing both muscles by loading the flex bar... Thank you for your video btw!

God bless you.

Are these good if both elbows have the same issue? If not, what would work? Thank you ~

I just got it today!

class vedio ,iv had glofers elbow this 14 months nad iv spent 1000's with docs and what not,but got this bar today hoping it will help me.i got the blue one which i think is to strong but should i do like 5 reps instead off 15 then?so hope this works.class walk through off it all

Thank you, Jamie, I've seen that Pronated Reverse Tyler & the Supinated Reverse Tyler, but not the Pure Pronation one, that's going to help a lot, along with some weighted eccentric wrist curls, some banded wrist curls w/ slow eccentrics, some hammer twists & a lot of rotator cuff complex work...I know I have flexor problems, but I also have an opposing shoulder impingement & relative lat tension on that side contributing to the problem via overcompensation.

Ty for answering Jamie. Have you ever dealt with wrist Tendonitis? I believe I have it from trying to avoid using my elbow Ty :)

Hi thanks for the useful video. I have had medial epicondylitis in one elbow and lateral in the other one for over 2 months. One elbow healed as it was my power arm. The other one still hurts 24/7 but its hard to isolate the pain. When I apply pressure on the inner side (medial) it hurts and when I apply pressure on the outer side (Lateral) it hurts also. I have been doing rehab exercises to forearm strengthening and stretching with a physio ball, thera band and very light weights but the pain just wouldn't go away. I had physio therapy done on both elbows for over a week and as already mentioned it helped fix one elbow but not the other one. Please help if you can. i've been to too many physios to no avail.

Thanks for showing a nice demo. I am getting sharp pain when I do this exercise and the tennis elbow exercise. Is it still ok to do it or should I wait for my pain to subside? Only problem is that my pain is already 2 months old and it is not showing any sign of relief! Any suggestions or tips will be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hey Jamie, just had a question that I hope you can answer. My left elbow started out with medial epicondylitis and now has lateral epicondylitis. I was wondering if it's okay to work on both on the same elbow. The tennis elbow is more severe but I think I will get better in a few days because the pain is not too bad. Hope this made sense. Thanks!

Hi, I just got my flex bar and am beginning the exercises. In the past I did other exercises I found on you tube using a glove and elastic bands. Would you advise doing those exercises along with the flex bar exercises? I think I may have tennis elbow as well...should I include other exercises for that?

Hi Jamie, I have golfer's elbow that I rested for a couple of weeks and saw zero improvement back in May. Then, after two or three times using the flexbar/stick, 85 percent of my pain went away! I was ecstatic, and thought I'd be fully recovered in no time. My problem now is that that was a couple of months ago, and still has not improved that last 15 percent. I did the exercises on only the red bar for about 7 weeks, then I moved up to the green bar for some, not all, of the exercises about two weeks ago but still have yet to see any improvement. Is there anything you'd recommend me doing at this point to help get rid of that last bit of pain? I am a climber and would love to get back on the wall and also be able to lift my toddler without worry. I also felt like my body was trying to overcompensate for not being able to move the way I normally would and that I was starting to get tennis elbow as well, so I added those workouts in a couple of times a week and it has seemed to help, so thanks!

great video, i just bought the yellow one but i am wondering if I should return it and just get the red one to save money? I have been battling golfers elbow for 17 months now, just seen surgeon and it's very complicated getting surgery there. I don't have alot, just little pain but I haven't lifted weights or done alot with arm in 17 months. It has destroyed my quality of life because my arm is so weak . I met one person that said this helped so I am trying it. Do you have a link for the TheraBand, and do you know if these exercises with it help as well? Surgeon wants me to try one last time to see if I can do anything to help it, so any advice would be good.

I was doing all sorts to try treat this - physio did not help. A friend showed me this vid, i bought both and within a week (3/5mins a day) I noticed a masssssssive difference! Thanks

Jamie: Great Videos for tennis elbow and golf elbow. I bought the flexbar and it just arrived. Can't wait to get started. I have tennis elbow and golf elbow! Do I take care of one injury first and work on the other later or can I do both kinds of exercises each day?

Jamie - Hey I just received the roller and Flex Bar I ordered from your links... My golfers elbow pain in both arms is from my CrossFit working out. Do I have to stop working out (using my arms) while I am trying to heal up? If not, what exercises should I be avoiding or going lite on? We are currently in a dead-lift, weighted-pullup, and front squat strength cycle and I have just been ignoring the pain (ring finger pressure exhibits the pain). Also... how many reps or sets of the the exercises should I be doing every day. Thank!!

I'm not a golfer, but I got golfers elbow from hitting too many tennis forehand practice shots with a ball machine, because that's when it started. Will these exercises work while I am still playing every other day or do I need to stop playing for a week or more?
