The patented Ultimate Hand Helper makes it easy to preferentially exercise specific muscle and tendon groups of the hand and forearm. The exerciser’s exclusive hand-conforming design promotes comfort and provides the ultimate in hand exercise versatility. The instruction booklet, included with each Hand Helper, illustrates a variety of options for developing strength, coordination and range of motion of the hand and forearm muscle and tendon groups. Combining these exercises in a single session supports improved overall hand function.

Gentle Exercise
Gentle exercising with the Ultimate Hand Helper using light resistance elastic bands is beneficial in maintaining joint mobility and range of motion of the hand. With everyday use, the Ultimate Hand Helper helps to restore flexibility, relieve joint stiffness and improve overall strength.  Increased circulation helps to ease hand pain associated with arthritic or cumulative trauma disorders, such as carpal tunnel. 

The following exercises have been developed to keep your hands useful and active. The Hand Helper product line promotes easy-to-use exercisers that help users gently exercise the muscle and tendon groups of the hand and forearm.  Daily exercise improves circulation to relieve joint stiffness, restore flexibility, and help to rebuild hand strength.

There are four exercises developed specifically for the Ultimate Hand Helper (fingertip flexion, middle finger flexion, finger base knuckle joint flexion and composite flexion) that preferentially exercise specific muscle and tendon groups of the hand and forearm.  All of these exercises can be combined or performed individually to address specific hand concerns. To fit smaller hands, attach the Range Limiting Clips included with the exerciser to each side of the frame.

Descriptions on exercising with the Finger Helper, Thumb Helper, ISO Hand Helper or Soft Touch Kit can be found in the information provided with each product.
