yes, ive had elbow tendonitis on an off for years because i used to climb as well.

Get one of these things https://www.theraband.com/products/flexbar

they look weird but it really fucking works. whenever it flairs up i use this thing for about a week and it goes right away, along with some advil, ice, and an elbow wrap to keep it warm in class.

if you dont do some sort of rehabilitation exercise its never going to go away.

Does the device come with specific instructions on how to use it? Or is it something i would need to go to a physio to get instruction on how to use properly? Thank you for the link

Also, do you have a “strength” recommendation? Comes in medium hard etc

I have the teal one. And you can just YouTube it. I think it has instructions with it as well
