Flexi-Grip Hand, Finger, & Forearm Exerciser - Heavy Tension, Green

My family has history of rheumatoid arthritis of the hand and I’m no exception. I began to notice it in the past six months with my fingers getting stiff and achy; and my grip getting weaker. I also began to notice myself constantly gripping my fingers into a fist and then extending (stretching) my fingers as far out as possible to keep them loose and limber.There isn’t much that one can do for rheumatoid arthritis except to keep the hands as limber as possible with exercise. Of all the “tools” that I looked at, the Flex-Grip was the only one that allowed two directional movement: extend or stretch out the fingers and to also allow it to be used in contraction as a grip exerciser. One side of the Flex-Grip has a ball in the palm area for grip exercising.I bought the green Flex-Grip. It’s shaped as a triangle with the longest (four-finger side) is about 5 inches. The other two sides are about 4 1/2 inches each. The thickness is about 1/2 inches. The Flex-Grip is made in Taiwan, but it’s durable and well made so there’s no risk of it breaking. It also has a very comfortable feel.I keep the Flex-Grip next to my chair and I use it for a few minutes every day while watching TV.Overall, I’m very pleased with this very versatile hand exercise tool.

Useful. Also, not too "heavy" - but I don't have any hand injury.

I'm using this as a part of my recovery from a torn ligament. This provides a nice resistance while exercising hand and finger muscles. My only reservation is, that it's a bit awkward to put my fingers through due to its "tackiness". I will recommend this as a part of as therapy regimen.

Don't even bother with this if you're trying to exercise your fingers; get the Power Web Junior instead. And if you want something to squeeze that provides resistance, there are plenty of better hand exercisers. The Flexi-Grip slides down your fingers instead of providing resistance, so it's basically worthless.

What an amazing self care tool that is one of the few you can find that actually works on strengthening your extensors! Highly recommended for massage professionals as well!

Of all the hand exercisers we bought on advice from my husbands therapist, this series was our favorite. We ended up using the heavy as the first two strengthened fingers enough to need it!

Use this in therapy, it's great

My hands cramp like Medusa's revenge. Snarly and painful. I immediately grab the Grip. When not in use it works great as a pen holder.
