Additionally, the non-toxic and latex-free composition adds to the appeal, making it suitable for users with sensitivities. I wholeheartedly recommend this therapeutic putty to those looking for a simple yet powerful tool to ease tension and promote well-being

Good stuff, good assortment, I’ve used this type of putty since the ‘90’s. Works all muscles involved unlike springs which have one plane of pull. I’ve been a medical massage therapist for 15 years and helps me continue my work.

I bought this set to help strengthen my hands, which have grown very weak due to decades of carpal tunnel syndrome related mostly to office work. I chose this one because most kits only offer 4 levels of stiffness, while this one added extra soft and extra, extra soft - I knew I needed something VERY easy to start with. I've only had the kit for a few weeks, so time will tell about progress, but those two "extra" soft ones are where I do 90% of my work - I couldn't have started with the one labeled "soft." This putty is so satisfying - it came with instructions for various exercises, and I do them all, but also my hands just *want* to work the putty while I'm watching TV. It doesn't feel like work, it feels like play. I am careful not to allow it to contact clothing or pillows, based on some reviews I saw before I bought it. And it does seem to leave my hands maybe slightly oily? But not in an unpleasant way. Also last night my husband swore the medium one I was using smelled like Jack Daniels, so I don't know what to do with that. All that being said, I highly recommend the kit. Great product, especially for the low, low price.

Excellent product

This putty is excellent exercise material for my wife. Her RA makes using exercise balls very difficult yet this stuff works well.

I recently had surgery for carpal tunnel release, and the instructions from my doctor or shoddy at best. However, the discharge instructions included exercises that required putty. I have been reading as much as possible about the procedure. I was fearful because I read that many people don’t regain grip strength until a year after.Because I did not know what kind of putty it meant. I came on Amazon and found this as FSA eligible. I decided to buy it and could not be more happy with my decision not only did the product come with six different resistance levels. The instructions also came with very clear photos, and a QR code to scan that also give instruction for other injuries or therapeutic meet with videos and clear instructions on what product to use.It was very straightforward to learn, and even though I don’t have a follow up appointment with my doctor for a week I am confident in my recovery and I’m feeling a difference in my grip strength and dexterity as well.

Works as expected.

I bought this putty after I noticed I was losing grip strength and had some early signs of carpal tunnel (I work a desk job, so it's not surprising). This putty is excellent for working on your grip strength.It comes with four different levels of resistance: extra-soft, soft, medium and firm. Extra-soft is roughly the same level of resistance as dollar store silly putty. You can feel the difference with each level; the firm is very much a hand workout. The putty is very clean and doesn't leave residue on your hands.I use the putty every work day and spend about 10-20 minutes playing with it each day (5-10 mins in the morning; 5-10 mins in afternoon). The container includes a sheet with 12 different hand & finger exercises you can do, so you can mix it up. The extra-soft is great for warming up and getting your muscles stretched and moving before using some of the higher resistance putty.This putty is well done and would be useful for all ages and situations. Highly recommend.
