What Is the Purpose of Therapy Putty?

Therapy putty is a tool designed for both clinical and at-home use for a myriad of reasons, including improving the condition of the hands, wrists, and fingers, or keeping your hands occupied during certain tasks. The putty can be useful for both adult and child users, and is suitable for the following applications:

• Acute injury recovery (e.g., sprains or muscle strain)
• Strengthening grip, improving motor skills, and expanding range of motion
• Easing stiffness in the fingers and wrists
• Managing and relieving chronic hand pains
• Soothing uncomfortable symptoms of carpal tunnel
• Improving circulation and managing circulatory issues
• Managing stress and anxiety
• Aids concentration for those who fidget a lot by keeping the hands occupied

Please Note: If you have a chronic pain condition, or are recovering from injury, we would recommend talking to your healthcare provider about the suitability of therapy putty for you, as well as which resistance level is the right choice.

How Can I Use the Medium Therapy Putty?

There are an expansive range of exercises that you can perform with the therapy putty, with options suitable for both adults and children. Examples of effective therapy putty exercises 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 comes in a range of resistance levels with soft (or light-resistance) to hard (or heavy-resistance) options available. Heavy-resistance therapy putty, like this blue option, is tough to stretch and mould, meaning that you'll need to put more strength and effort into pulling and shaping it. Light-resistance therapy putty requires less effort to shape and mould. Generally, with chronic pains and injury, it is best to start with a lighter-resistance therapy putty and gradually work towards a heavy-resistance option.

The specific resistance you need will depend on the condition you want to treat, and how strong and flexible your hands are. We would recommend checking with your doctors, occupational therapist, or physical therapist to discover which therapy putty resistance level is the best choice for your needs.
