What Is the Purpose of Light Resistance Theraputty?

Theraputty is a unique tool for use during strength-building exercises for the hands, wrists, and fingers, or during rehabilitation from injury. The putty offers light resistance, meaning it is slightly more difficult to mould and stretch than a regular play-putty or playdough would be. 

This light resistance therapy putty is suitable for applications such as:

• Injury rehabilitation (acute injury)
• Building grip strength and motor skills
• Improving range of motion
• Reducing stiffness, improving flexibility
• Managing painful symptoms of chronic conditions like arthritis
• Easing symptoms of carpal tunnel
• Improving circulation and managing circulatory issues
• Managing stress and anxiety
• Stress ball alternative
• Unique fidget toy for those who fidget a lot by keeping the hands occupied

Please Note: If you are planning to use Theraputty to recover from injury, or manage a chronic condition, consult your doctor on the suitability of Theraputty for your condition first.

How Do I Use This Theraputty?

When it comes to therapy putty exercises, there is an expansive range to choose from. The best part is, Theraputty is a fantastic option for both adults and children to do hand resistance exercises with. Some effective resistance exercises to complete with therapy putty include:

• Squeeze your hands into a fist while the putty is in the centre of your palm
• Mould the putty into a ball and then a cube, using only your injured or affected hand
• Roll the putty into a sausage shape and weave it between your fingers, then try to stretch out your fingers against the resistance of the putty
• Roll the putty into a ball and place between two out-stretched fingers, then bring the fingers together so they are squeezing against the putty
• Hide a coin in the Theraputty for your child to find and remove (ideal for developing fine motor skills)

Which Theraputty Resistance Level Is Right for Me?

Therapy putty is supplied with varying resistance levels, allowing it to cater to a range of different needs and strength levels. Lighter resistance therapy putty will be easier to stretch and mould than heavy-resistance putty, making light resistance putties the best choice to begin with. Generally, we would recommend gradually working your way towards the firmer therapy putties.

However, if you are using Theraputty as part of your rehabilitation from injury, consult your healthcare provider about which resistance strength is the right choice for you.
