Therapy Putty for Kids and Adults - Resistant Theraputty for Hand Therapy Kit - Stress Relief Exercise Putty - Set of 6 Strengths - 3 Ounces Per Putty

I bought this for one of my health care providers that suffers with carpal tunnel. I have had surgery on both wrists and elbows twice in the past three years. I have some for home use, and used it at therapy sessions. It is very helpful, and easy to use at home or work.

I've used Therapy putty in the past, and know it can be very beneficial for rehab. This is good putty, and I especially like that it is less sticky than others I've used. That lets me manipulate it and peel it off of my hand or the table without reminents left behind.This stuff will definitely help you exercise and strenthen your hands (or feet).6 tubs of varying color-coded resistence, come in a cylinder that has a screw cap on top. And each tub individually seals, as well.One thing that was noticeable right away was that even the XX-SOFT was a challenge for me. Now, I realize I am very weak right now, but comparing this to another brand's "soft", I found that the Venoka therapy putty in XX-Soft (orange) gave me more resistance than the "soft" in my other brand. And the medium (purple)? Well, I was able to squeeze it, but wasn't able to mamipulate it without a lot of effort. Is that bad? Maybe not. For someone with an average amount of hand strength, the various levels of resistence will definitely help you gain strength and dexterity. If you are particularly weak (or for young children), you may find this putty is highly challenging, and you may need to start with something even softer than what this kit offers.

My grandkids love playing with this!!! . . . and it has helped with my hand grip

This is a nice set of putty, not greasy or sticky like some putty I have messed with in the past. The only thing is that there does not seem to be any difference between very soft and very hard. It all feels exactly the same just different colors.

This therapy kit is great. I really like all the different levels of stiffness. Not one of them is very soft, but the hardest one is quite hard. It kind of works as a stress ball.I did let my daughter keep this at her bedside so she could mess with it as she was falling asleep, but that was a mistake. It clung to her bed spread and sheets and was difficult to get off... But it did help calm and relax her to help her sleep :)If you're wanting to use this as a sort of play dough or play putty, it won't really work for that, but it's a nice thing to keep on hand for homeschool when someone gets work done before the other one and you just need them to have something to mess with for a couple minutes before you're ready to move on.Highly recommend, as I can see this coming in handy for a variety of uses.

I used the Orange and Grey Puttys for now and they feel good while working on my computer. I use one hand to work on the putty and gives me a sense of calmness. It feels a bit like a fidget toy when my mind is preoccupied with my thoughts. The package came on a cold day and all the Puttys were hard to use due to the cold temperatures. Once inside the house, it settled, and I started using them after few hours.I did not use all the different levels yet, but my son has been using the purple one which he said was a bit firm than expected. He did mention that he got used to its resistance when compared to day1 and is getting a good finger exercise for his grip strength. We did not have any skin allergies and there is no residue left behind on my hands after usage. It is quite fun to use and definitely recommend for anyone with stress or injury rehabilitation. Overall, a great value and good addition for daily usage.

I have used therapy putty in occupational therapy many times as I've dealt with temporary paralysis and arthritis for years. This is very similar to the thera putty I have used in therapy. There are 6 different color putty tubs that are different firmness, XX Soft to X Firm, there is a very small discernable difference between each, but the XX Soft is still pretty tough, and hard for my arthritic hands to manipulate. The tubs have the same color of the putty inside on the label, so you should be able to put them back in the correct tubs. Also, all 6 of the tubs fit into a larger tube with a screw top, so you can keep all together. I would prefer a more discernable difference in firmness between them with the XX Soft being much softer, It would also be helpful if the company included a sheet with suggested exercises, as I have seen in another therapy putty set. I know of exercises to do, but if someone has not used therapy putty in therapy, they could use those suggestions. Overall, I recommend this set, especially for people who know what to do with therapy putty.

The screw lid on the top is definitely not intended for the one needing therapy to open - its low profile makes it a little hard to open. The container does have a seal inside to keep all the putty fresh. After opening the little tub, all the putty is the same resistance, evne though they are supposed to be different. I let them warm up in my hands and can feel the softer putty release, but start working it and the putty is no different than the others.
