I had severe golfer's in 2019 and it got better with PT. My tennis elbow started in OCT 2021 and I basically had to retire from weightlifting. A 26 year hobby and habit. Couldn't even hold a coffee cup without pain and I used to push hundreds of pounds. My doc wouldn't refer me to PT and told me to wear a air brace on my forearm. I had the theraband from a coworker and started using it from a video of yours from many years ago. My arm is feeling better and I'm still only going to workout with bands. Sorry for the long comment, thank you!
Don't be sorry Ed. I appreciate you taking the time to share your story with me. It makes me happy to hear that you have found my content helpful and you are feeling better. Take care.
Just got a Theraband FlexBar after first watching this video a couple of days ago. I notice that the instructions that come with it are for a "Reverse Tyler Twist" that ends up with the palms in a supinated position rather than a pronated position as in the video.
I have had my Theraband Flexbar for a couple of years now and the instructions that came with mine are like you said and totally opposite of what they are showing here. So now I'm confused on which is the right way.
I'm curious? I have the tightness and pain on both elbows but its on the outsides and insided. its more hot and burning feelings and just complete weakness in my forearms and hands. i was in a really bad driving position 2 years ago and really gripping a steering wheel with my arms above shoulder length for about 10-12 hours a day, until I couldn't grip anything anymore. it seems more so on the outsides than insides and just slightly on the insides. Do you have any suggestions. i'm very appreciative for your glute med excercises and will definitely share my progress after 4 weeks
Isn't this exercise pretty much the same as just a eccentric only wrist curl (with forearm supinated and palm facing up)? What is it that makes the flexbar extra effective? Is it the fact that there is no concentric contraction at all, since the other hand puts the tension in the bar, in comparision with the eccentric curl where the effected arm would at least be partially involved in bringing the dumbbell back up to the starting position for each rep? Anyway looks like an interesting exercise. Gonna see if I can scrounge up one of those flexbars somehow.
@@cybermanne I posted this separately: The answer to my own question lol, in case you have it too: The Flexbar IS eccentric wrist curl, but might be advantageous tool to perform it: "Bishop says the benefit of the FlexBar, which costs between $16 and $33, over traditional hand weights is that it helps people strengthen without recreating the symptoms. He says weights can overwork the muscle and sometimes leads to more pain," quoting Barton Bishop, a physical therapist at Sport & Spine Rehab in Rockville, MD, in NPR article.
Hi Videos and Designs, Thank you for your feedback. Yes, please feel free to refer my video to a friend. I put my videos out there to help people and the more exposure I can get the better I can reach that goal. Thank you!
I am a respiratory therapist and have repeated movements (like manual bag ventilating) that have me worried about my injury being chronic. I recently got a steroid shot in my elbow to alleviate pain. Do you think I should avoid doing yoga? It's essential to my daily activities. Thanks for the videos they help a lot!
I'd recommend getting a golfers elbow brace for work. I wear a brace and do reverse Tyler curls with the flex bar daily a lot of reps probably in the 80's or hundreds spread throughout the day it does help. I also have a heat pad and massage gun for my elbow im not 100% but definitely improved
And yes you might want to take a break from yoga at least until your elbow pain is fully gone. Focus on lower body exercise goals like walking or running goals etc.

The supinated position makes it easier for my non-affected hand to twist the bar sufficiently.

Hello! Can you please do a video on upper back pain (pain between the spine and shoulder blades) and neck pain?
I’m currently editing a video on just that. Stay tuned!

Can you do this exercise every week to prevent golfers elbow or only when discomfort flares up

I just bought a voodoo band to do floss work. What are your thoughts on this? And do you still think the band-it strap helps?

I too am wondering how the Flexbar differs from an eccentric wrist curl? What's the magic in the Flexbar?

I have golfers elbow from weightlifting
Standing bicep curls with a barbell, am I right?
@@artisaprimus6306 yeah totally

Did it heal?
@@artisaprimus6306 no with a weight lifting machine
Is Golfers Elbow similar Tennis Elbow and the exercises for each different? 😮
Golfer’s elbow is tendinitis at the inner elbow while tennis elbow occurs with the outer elbow
What do you do if both arms are affected?
I wondered this, if this exercise is ok to do if you have it in both arms.
what is your location?
