I'm 58. Just finished my 8 week program. Still in pain and probably a bit more. Maybe I'm injured beyond what this machine can do? Ruptured tendons in both elbows doing weighted pull ups in July 2022. Did PT, dry needle, robotic therapy, rest periods, injections and nothing worked. I'm going to see my orthopedic surgeon again. IDK I guess surgery is next?
You are right @michaels7368, a ruptured tendon needs the attention of an orthopedic surgeon. We can 'fiix' micro-tears and small tears but not a ruptured tendon. Best of luck getting 'fiixed'.
@@Jimmy-Legs I'm getting PRP injections March 1. I'll see how that goes. Don't laugh but I was trying to break an old world record by doing 4,031 pull ups in 17.5 hours. Was averaging 270 per hour when tendons gave out.
Great questions Andrew. The short answer is to let the tendon rest for 4 weeks before starting another 8-week program. The more detailed answer is everyone's pain decrease is different. We have users who see pain relief within a week, for some it takes 3-5 weeks while others only see pain relief after the 8 weeks. Our scraping technique breaks up scar tissue which can increase pain initially, then once it starts to heal is when the pain decreases. The tendon heals more once you stop the scraping process since you aren't aggravating it anymore. If you have any additional questions feel free to reach out to info@fiixbody.com - Thx!
Great question @rogerjamesmusic - tendonosis is stubborn and it can return in the same tendon or other tendons based on peoples activity. So when people purchase the Fiix Elbow they are prepared if the condition returns in the same tendon or appears in a different tendon.

Great device, it's been helping me get through bilateral elbow issues. Highly recommend.

@@michaels7368 Let me know how the prp works out. 270 pull-ups an hour? That’s insane. Hope that prp works for you. Why not just get surgery.
How long should we wait before going through the 8 wk program again?

If this is an eight week program, why not rent the devices?
