Top Five Mistakes to Avoid When Using Flextend http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06dE_-oa0wQ

I don't have experience with the Flextend. It seems it was made largely to treat carpal tunnel syndrome of the wrist.

Just based on how it works, I would think the twisting motion of the Theraband Flexband http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB3TVb8a5mk would be a better exercise for the muscles/tendons involved in tennis elbow, but it certainly does seem that comeback had great results using the Flextend.

I hope comeback sees this and can explain further the specific exercises he used - how much flexion and extention and how much twisting exercises. Also I would love to know if he first used the Theraband Flexbar without results.

Hi Charlie, i tried everything and i am a certified trainer,4.5 tournament player and teaching pro..The flexbar is ok if your arm is 100% but if it is injured the flexbar will make it worse..i really had a bad case of TE but the glove rehabed it..as for your questions, there is another video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVhlgBDy_F8
which explains it better..email me if you have any further questions comeback@safe-mail.net

I sure wish I could figure out with the culprit is in my swing (probably plenty of problems).

texas orthopedic hospital on main in the medical center is world class. many great doctors that specialize on the arm. Deep tissue massage on the arm has worked for me several times. A really good masseuse will find bad trigger points and hurt you but help you. 59# is kind of high on your string tension. Maybe you could drop it some. I have gone from 55 to 51 and now down to 47. lower tension really helped me. good luck.
