I got a pair of voodoo floss bands like 10 years ago and I use them often, particularly on my elbows. I’ve found that if you get the end of the band a little wet, it grabs easier. Thanks Doc!
Kelly can you please please do a video on people with ligament laxity or EDS? I have been hoping you'd cover this for years and you never really have! I have lax ligaments and extensible skin etc (EDS like but undiagnosed) but have found strength training to be helpful. However, I struggle to improve ROM in hips and ankles despite my condition! You mention to avoid joint mobilisation in such people, can you please demonstrate or discuss how best to improve ROM in this population! Thank you so much for all of your work!
To increase motion and strength of joints…I LEAVE TAIL of band to pull. This forces impinged area with rotation and pulls (often creates sounds of pop & grind in tissue) my tendons, facia, and joint coordination
@@HumanBodyMaintenance I'm not sure but im guessing he leaves the band untucked into itself so he can pull on it? I guess that would kinf of twist the tissues as he pulls?
Floss bands can also be used daily as a light isometric and massaging exercise, not just during injury. I can go for about 20 minutes before the area goes numb. The magic is very similar to compression which stimulates proprioception
I think I'm going to order this band and try it. I've been doing ultrasound therapy on my right arm the past few weeks with a steroid added into the gel to try and work it in with the therapy and I'm still not feeling any improvements. It may help for 24hrs, but then I'm back to being sore working my desk job the next day. Ultrasound wanding, scraping, Dexamethasone being rubbed in, nothing seems to be working for me. My diagnosis has gone from golfer's elbow, to tendonitis, and possibly now being referred to a rheumatologist despite my blood work being negative for arthritis twice at the age of 34.
You may want to have some focus on stretching your serratus anterior (tight due to rounded shoulder position from computer/tech usage) and infraspinatus (up the chain, tight due to serratus anterior being tight). Trigger points for both of these can refer directly into forearm pain/discomfort.
This is legit science and based on peer-reviewed research, right? Like it’s not just bro-science? Part of me is like “oh yeah, this makes perfect sense,” and the other is like “this sounds as ridiculous as tying a tourniquet around problem areas to flush the junk out and rush the groceries in.”
Just try it out, seem to be harmless at least and helped me a lot personally. Some stuff takes years and years to get a sufficient amount of research done
This is such a stupid attitude. If it works, do it. If it doesn't, don't. There isn't any danger. For crying out loud, do you have peer-reviewed research telling you to shake off the last few piss drops, or do you just do it to keep your crotch dry?
Hi Kelley - I just bought the Voodoo floss and it came as a very long single piece. What is the length that you have cut the floss for use on the elbows?
Lot of comments saying it's great. Not seeing any saying it solves elbow pain. Also if you wanna try this just use a rubber training band or wrist sleeve imo should do the same thing ie put something tight on the area. Long story short I'll pass🤭

Much appreciated- that was super helpful!
Interesting
my favorite phrase from K-Starr "garbage out, groceries in"
VF is basically a self-applied pin-and-stretch, pin-and-flex
Love the floss bands... seriously lifesavers 🍬🍬
Thank you so much. Steve Kotter told me about these power bands and your video is illuminating
So much good information and the only thing that stuck was “we’re doin it live, thanks Bill” 😆😆
“We’ll do it live … FUCK IT.” 😂
great content! :) thank you!
Fantastic content. Thank you!

Sounds like he didn’t even read your comment from years ago
Doing it live... thanks Bill hahaha
"thanks Bill" had me rolling
Thank you, I'm getting a lot out of your content!
thanks just got it and while not 100% I can feel it working
Awesome! Thank you so much, jumping on this right now.
Thank you man, really informative video!
I impinged on the rotation of my fascia!
Amazing.

Please elaborate. I’m interested and don’t fully understand

Been waiting for you to do more videos , man. You do it best!
Starting off with the forearm on a table makes the first bite much easier
thank you for explaining this so well! Subscribing your channel.
garbage out! groceries in! got it!
haha thank you for real though. This was a helpful explanation.
Great help TYSM
The best!!!
Might as well use ESP! Find your local voodoo wizard and have him/her do some needles in a doll.
Thank you very much : )

Just got them and did this wow!
A lot of words I don't understand, but darn if it doesn't work.
Can someone tell me the name of that wrap he uses ???
It doesn’t look like a regular wrap
Do I wear these the whole time I’m lifting?
Will these help compress a bursa caused from impact
How long time(days) I can do it to get rid of the pain?
How long should a flossing session take
Nice that I can solo floss for this.
If I do this on a daily would it repair ulna nerve entrapment ?
Excellent explanation. Thanks Kelly
Could this help with cubital tunnel?
I don't think so, more like worsen it

Just wrap it around and tuck it in. Or leave the loose ends.
7ft
For posterity, if you ordered the 28’ version, it’s intended to be cut up, usually into 7’ lengths

Ping!
Get the garbage out and get the groceries in
Can it work for tendenitis?
Yes but use eccentrics that helped me
Did you get healed? And how many days did you use band to feel better ar get healed?
Does this help with getting rid of elbow tendonitis
I'm a baseball pitcher, and did it today and I actually do feel way better. Loose would be the best description.
Can it work for tendenitis?
