TheraBand FlexBar - Green

The Green TheraBand FlexBar requires 15 lbs of force to bend into a "U" shape.

The colors represent different resistance levels: Yellow (6 lbs), Red (10 lbs), Green (15 lbs), and Blue (25 lbs). It's recommended to start with a lighter resistance and progress as your strength improves, or consult with a physical therapist for personalized guidance.

The TheraBand FlexBar comes in different resistance levels (colors). Ensure you have selected the appropriate color (Green offers 15 lbs resistance) for your current strength and rehabilitation needs. Consult a professional if unsure.

Ensure your hands are clean and dry before gripping the bar. If the issue persists, consider using a very small amount of grip enhancement product or a light towel.

A slight squeaking or groaning sound during extreme bending is normal due to the material flexing. If the noise is excessive or sounds like tearing, inspect the bar for damage and discontinue use if compromised.
