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 #1 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.
