Power-Web Medium 14" in Red

I recently tore two tendons in my hand; I am unable to grip anything tightly with my left hand. Unfortunately, the "hand" surgeon won't do anything until I do 8 weeks of physical therapy, per Medi-Care. While In PT we use these webs, they come in 4 colors which indicate the resistance each one has. I have 2 specific exercises that I have to do for my particular injury. On my first day I started with the softest web pressing my hand into the web causing my fingers to be pushed slightly backwards. This helps stretch the tendons that close the hand. Next, I place my fingers through the holes (they are spaced to fit different sized hands so anyone can use them) with the edge of the ring nestled where my thumb meets my palm and try to squeeze, this helps with your grip strength. Over the weeks, I have progressed to the stronger webs, still doing the same movements. I understand this is a bit long winded, but the reason is, they work really well, because I am now able to actually close my hand in a fist, still no good grip strength, but it is progress. In the packaging there are photos of the different exercises you can do with these webs. Make sure to place a lightweight towel over the webs to keep your fingers from going into the holes on the exercises that require a flat surface. As far as durability, if they didn't last, they would not be in our PT Dept. Just a tip, if you can use a heating pad for 10-15 minutes before you start, this will help relax your muscles and tendons. After your exercises, place a frozen bag of peas or a bag of ice on your hand for 5-10 minutes this will tighten everything back up. It never hurts to get some professional/medical advice before you start your own treatments.

Great hand exerciser. Just be careful how many reps done at one time. Can hurt your hand if not used properly.

Great for strengthening fingers after stroke

The order was quick. the turn around time was spot on and the web is ideal for my fingers. The packing is also a multi exercise guide so don't just toss it out.

It is challenging but doable and works well for my at home exercise program.

Not what I expected didn’t hold up after three months

It is so nice to be able to continue my pt exercises at home in between my pt appointments. Can see an improvement already, just after a couple of days.

You can definitely give your fingers/hands and forearms a good workout or stretch with this thing. However, the rubber smell takes quite a while to wear off. I tried to wash it but it din't really help. It gets better after a few months though.

J’ai subi deux fractures des radius (poignets), et le Power Web m’a beaucoup aidé à retrouver de la force au niveau des mains.
