THERABAND Hand Exercisers are designed for hand, finger, and forearm strengthening and are particularly useful in rehabilitation for various hand injuries. They are recommended for conditions such as arthritis, repetitive stress injury, stress reduction, stroke recovery, and general strengthening. However, they’re especially beneficial when cooled or heated. Hot or hot therapy can help relieve joint pain in individuals dealing with arthritis or overuse injuries. Featuring progressive resistance in different levels of compression, they allow for a customized therapy routine. It's important to note that the product may become tacky with use, but a dusting of corn scratch or baby powder can reduce stickiness. The material easily washes clean with soap and water.
