Exercise Band, Versatile & Effective

One of the easiest and most effective methods of strengthening muscles following injury or surgery is a simple length of latex band.

Supplied in different grades, from very light to super heavy, this product is widely used by practitioners in the rehabilitation of ankle, knee and upper limb injuries.  The list of exercises is almost endless and the band can easily fold and fit into a pocket or bag, making it easy to take anywhere.

The popularity of exercise programmes such as Pilates has also seen this band employed to add varying resistances to a workout, making it an economical alternative to some highly expensive specialised equipment.

When integrated with items such as a gym ball to aid balance training and core stability work, it adds a resistive dimension, enabling the user to tailor the exercise to suit their sporting activity.

Resistance bands come in varying lengths,  1m, 5.5m and 46m packs.

Theraband also make a range of resistance tubing:
Thera-Band® Exercise Tubing includes natural rubber tubing available in 7 color-coded levels of resistance. Proper use of these systems for resistive exercise provides both positive and negative force on the muscles, improving strength, range of motion and cooperation of muscle groups. Color-coded progressive resistance gives at-a-glance documentation of progress from one level to the next.

For hand and forearm rehabilitation, try Theraband Hand Exerciser:
Thera-Band® Hand Exercisers are specially formulated exercisers provided in a progressive sequence of five translucent colors and in two sizes. They're used for hand, finger and forearm strengthening, as well as hot and cold therapy.

The softer yellow and red models fill the gap between putty and spring devices and they're not as messy as putty. Progressive resistance in different levels of compression allow each exercise to be geared to the patient. Use the standard size hand exerciser for smaller hands and the extra large size for larger hands or for people who have limited hand mobility. Place a Hand Exerciser into the microwave or refrigerator for hot or cold use.
