FINGERWEB for Physical Therapy
- Hand strengthening finger exerciser for hand injuries
Final Decision Maker: Physical Therapy Patients, Physical Therapists
FINGERWEB - STRENGTHEN HANDS & FINGERS
The FINGERWEB is the first exerciser that lets you focus on working at your desk, handling chores, or carrying out other tasks while strengthening your wrist, hand and fingers. It is easy to wear and won't interfere with whatever activity you are doing. Other hand exercisers cannot be used while working and therefore require twice the time to use every week to see the same results.
The FINGERWEB design is simple and effective. It is comprised of a four loop elastic band that fits easily around your fingers. The thin design lets you work without getting in the way. Elastic resistance strengthens the wrist, hand, and fingers. The resistance not only impacts the muscles but it intensifies your therapy results. FINGERWEB works for all hand and wrist physical therapy patients. It comes in a range of sizes to fit everyone: small, medium, and large.
Expect powerful results from using a FINGERWEB. Therapy patients can increase dexterity, gain finger speed, build endurance, and build strength back up. The FINGERWEB has already been successfully used for several years by musicians to strengthen their hands and fingers while they play their instruments. All of the musicians who have used the FINGERWEB are impressed with the instant results and feel that playing is easier.
