Ideal For

Occupational therapists and physical therapists working with patients on hand and wrist rehabilitation following surgery, fracture, or soft tissue injury will find the color-coded resistance system a practical tool for structuring progressive strengthening programs. Patients recovering from carpal tunnel release, trigger finger repair, or hand fractures who need a gentle, progressive resistance medium for home exercise programs will find the medium-soft resistance appropriate for mid-stage rehabilitation when grip and pinch strength are beginning to return. Individuals managing arthritis, tendinitis, or other chronic hand conditions who need a low-load daily exercise tool to maintain joint mobility and muscle endurance will benefit from the non-greasy, skin-safe formula that makes extended use comfortable. Stroke and neurological rehabilitation patients working on fine motor retraining and grip restoration will find the pliable putty an effective medium for repetitive hand and finger exercises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which resistance level should I start with?
Start with the lightest resistance that provides a mild challenge without causing pain or fatigue after a few repetitions. For post-surgical or acute rehabilitation, Light Beige (XX-Soft) or Yellow (X-Soft) is typically the starting point. For general conditioning or mid-stage rehabilitation, Red (Soft) or Dark Beige (Medium-Soft) is appropriate. Always follow your occupational or physical therapist’s recommendation for your specific condition and stage of recovery.

Can I combine different resistance levels?
Yes. Multiple putty colors can be blended together to create a custom resistance level between two standard levels. This allows for fine-tuned progression as strength improves, without jumping directly to the next full resistance level. Knead the two colors together thoroughly until the putty is uniform in color and consistency before use.

How do I store therapy putty?
Store the putty in its original container or a sealed airtight container when not in use to prevent it from drying out. Keep it at room temperature — avoid exposure to heat or direct sunlight, which can soften the putty and alter its resistance. Cold temperatures will temporarily firm the putty; allow it to warm to room temperature before use for consistent resistance.

Is this putty safe for children?
The putty is non-toxic and latex-free, but it is intended for therapeutic use under clinical or caregiver supervision. It is not a toy and should not be used unsupervised by young children. If used in a pediatric therapy setting, follow your facility’s infection control protocols for shared therapeutic materials.
