Tyler Twist Protocol

This document provides instructions for the Tyler Twist exercise using a Thera-Band FlexBar to treat lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow). The exercise involves twisting the FlexBar to load the involved wrist extensors in eccentric contraction by slowly untwisting the FlexBar and allowing the wrist to flex over 3 sets of 15 repetitions daily, progressing to stronger resistance bands as the exercise becomes easier.
