Looking for anecdotal evidence. I read about this in Horst's new training for climbing edition/product placement memorandum. Seems interesting and I tried it at the gym the other day - I could definitely feel blood pouring back into the area afterward

Avarserfi has experience with it, so he might chime in.
I tried it - honestly, it's so hard to distinguish between the other factors that were going on at the time I tried it - that being, a normal rehab program, plus the passage of time healing the injury.

i voodoo floss my elbows, i've had some tendonitis in both elbows and i feel noticeably better when i do it once or twice after a climbing session. i would definitely recommend it. the bands are also pretty cheap (i think i got two for $25).

I used voodoo flossing on a minor a4 strain a while back. I took a thera-band I already had an cut it to size for the issue. I honestly can't say if it helped or not. For the cost and time commitment, I'd probably do it again if convenient. I'm not really convinced it did much to heal the issue.
I suspect that the real reason I healed relatively quickly was time and a well designed hang board regime. Relatively low weight, high TUT. Gradually increasing the weight while carefully modulating pain/discomfort during the workout, and the next two days.

I and several of my friends have used it - results were mixed quite a bit. Some fairly dramatic "cures" and/or a whole lot of nothing. I have never heard of any one hurting their selves with it so it's probably worth a try anyway. Seems to work on scar tissue from what I have seen.
I haven't tried it but have heard a couple good reports of people using it on sprained ankles
