What Is the Purpose of Theraputty?

Therapy putty is a tool used during rehabilitation and strength-building exercises for the hands, wrists, and fingers. There are various putties available, each with a different resistance level, that are designed to be squeezed, stretched, and moulded. Theraputty can be useful for applications such as:

• Rehabilitation from acute injury
• Managing chronic pain
• Easing symptoms of carpal tunnel and similar conditions
• Reducing stiffness in the joints
• Improving grip strength, range of motion, and fine motor skills
• Improving circulation and managing circulatory issues
• Managing stress or anxiety
• Use in place of a stress ball or fidget tool (e.g. for those with ADHD)

How Can I Use the Light-Resistance Therapy Putty?

There are an expansive range of exercises that you can perform with the therapy putty, with exercises that are 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 Therapy Putty Resistance Level Is the Right Choice for Me?

The Theraputty therapy putty is available in a range of resistance levels from extra light resistance (soft) to extra heavy resistance (firm). The difference between the various levels are how easy the putty is to shape and squeeze, with the heavy resistance putties being more difficult to stretch and mould. Generally, it is recommended that you start with a lighter resistance therapy putty, and graduate to a heavier resistance option.

To determine which therapy putty is right for your specific needs, we would recommend checking with your healthcare provider.
