FlexBar (Red, Light)

All that gripping and pulling means climbers commonly get nagging elbow pain, the climber's-elbow or tennis-elbow type of tendon trouble. The TheraBand FlexBar is a flexible rubber bar they bend and twist through specific exercises to strengthen the wrist and forearm. It's a widely recommended way to both prevent and rehab those exact issues.

This is the red "light" resistance, a sensible starting point for most people. It's simple, durable, and takes just a few minutes a day.

It's a thoughtful, slightly nerdy gift for rock climbers, the kind of thing they know they should be doing but haven't bought for themselves. Smart and useful, it makes a good climbing stocking stuffer.
