What is Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow, elbow tendonitis, golfers elbow or lateral epicondylitis, is the most common injury in patients seeking medical attention with the complaint of elbow pain. This condition is due to small tears of the tendons that attach the muscles of the forearm to the arm bone at the elbow joint.
The muscle group involved, the wrist extensors, function to cock the wrist back. Specifically, the extensor carpi radialis brevis, has been implicated in causing the symptoms of tennis elbow.

Patients with the tennis elbow syndrome experience pain on the outside of the elbow that is worsened by grasping
objects and cocking back the wrist. The most common symptoms of tennis elbow are:
The pain associated with tennis elbow usually has a gradual onset, but may also come on suddenly.
Treatment
Stretching & Exercises
Some simple stretches and exercises can be very helpful in
controlling elbow tendonitis. These exercises should not cause pain, and if they do the exercises should not be done until the pain
resolves. Rest the elbow until pain subsides then start a strength training program to strengthen the forearms, wrist flexors and
extensor muscles. By strengthening the muscles and tendons involved, you can prevent the problem from returning.
I have personally suffered from elbow tendonitis from years of free-weight training and know how aggravating it can be. I tried everything from braces & wraps to resting the elbow joints for up to two weeks to pain reliving creams. I came to the conclusion that this was a condition I was just going to have to live with. I finally visited an Orthopedic Physician and was told this condition is caused by small tears in the tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the elbow and that this condition was due mainly to underdeveloped forearm extensor muscles that were not capable
of handling the stress I was applying.
I had always trained my forearms using barbells, dumbbells, wrist rollers etc. and thought my forearms were in pretty good shape. I did not realize that all of these devices only target a portion of the muscles involved with the forearms.
After numerous trial and errors we Patented the Forearm Bar and the Forearm Bar E-Flex. The E-Flex bar targets all of the muscles of the forearms and the extensor muscles & tendons that are associated with elbow tendonitis.
Our bars are being used by pro athletes, professional trainers, major collage programs, and rehabilitation centers. I use the Forearm Bar E- Flex once to twice a week for about 10 minutes and I no longer have any trouble with elbow tendonitis.
So if you suffer from this annoying and painful condition please give our Forearm Bar E-Flex a try. I am so sure this will end your problems with elbow tendonitis, tennis elbow and or golfer’s elbow that we offer a 60 day money back guarantee and paid return shipping.
