THERABAND Hand Exerciser, Ball For Hand, Wrist, Finger, Forearm, Grip Strengthening & Therapy, Squeeze Ball to Increase Hand Flexibility & Relieve Joint Pain, Blue, Firm

delightful ball recommended by my therapist to help me regain function in my hand. I love how it feels - squishy but solid. Put in the microwave for nice warmth. Great buy.

Recommended by my occupational therapist after wrist surgery -- worked great, and I keep one around to squeeze when my job is annoying.

This ball is incredibly soft and is great if you have an injury like tennis elbow and are looking for a ball that you can really squeeze without causing a lot of pain. If you use a harder ball, you can still squeeze it as softly as you want but it won’t depress and you don’t get the same range of motion and muscle activation as with this ball. Now the bad news. I left the ball on a carpet and it reacted chemically to the carpet and became extremely sticky, as if the outer coating had worn off on the area where it contacted the carpet. The ball became almost unusable unless I positioned it so that my hand avoided the sticky spot, which was very difficult. Then I tried putting some tissue over the sticky spot. The tissue adhered to and covered the sticky spot, so it was no longer unpleasant to touch the ball. If you are very careful about where you leave the ball, you shouldn’t have this problem. If it does become sticky, you can deal with the problem by putting tissue over the sticky part. I have a small concern that the sticky insides will eventually come out through the seam in the ball, but that hasn’t happened yet. Overall, I’d recommend buying it if you want a really soft ball and can’t find a more durable one, but be aware that it may have a limited life if it comes in contact with something that reacts chemically to the coating of the ball and exposes the sticky material inside it. Update: I bought a second one so that I could exercise both hands simultaneously and save time. I didn't leave it lying on a carpet and it didn't deteriorate like the last one. I also bought a Theraband ball with the next higher level of resistance (soft, red) since I'm recovering from my tennis elbow. I still like to use the yellow ones sometime since you can squeeze them really flat which gives good range of motion for your hand exercises.

Convenient. When it gets dirty, just wash it and add powder.

Works great for strengthening my hand. My thumb was having tendonitis, but this helps work out the pain.

Nice material and does the job!

I picked this up as a stocking stuffer, hoping it would work well as a squishy ball. The color is exactly as shown in the product photos. It's a bit smaller and firmer than I anticipated, but overall still a nice little gift.

I've had a terrible time finding a stress ball that's not filled with fluid or plastic granules, both of which suck IMHO. This is a solid gel ball (not filled with something else) and it's perfect. To those reviewers who call it "sticky," well...you didn't spend more than two minutes with it, did ya? The ball comes with a little baby-powder coating that wears off fast, but it's not sticky. UNTIL YOU WASH IT. Once you wash it, spend 10 minutes playing with it and the oil from your skin eventually makes it feel dry (not oily, just...normal). It's quite obvious that people who call it sticky have washed it, felt it was sticky, threw it back in the package and off it went to Amazon.

Perfect for any rehabilitation therapy. I used it on my therapist's recommendation and got desired results. Although this can be used on one's own, therapeutic supervision will bring you excellent results. So its always better to use the item under medical supervision.

Great product and prompt delivery. Thank you!

It's better than the gel one in the market. I might order another one next to yellow
