Thera-Band FlexBar

At Taiso, Saskatoon I saw this conditioning aid.

Thera-Band FlexBar $19.99

Marketed for golfers and tennis players, Taiso is using it for conditioning the wrists … in an attempt to reduce wrist pain.

Wrists pain on Pommels is the overuse injury for competitive male gymnasts.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

Useful for general wrist strengthening too, of course.

The Bars get softer over time, with use.
