Ideal For

Occupational therapists and physical therapists working with patients in early-stage hand and wrist rehabilitation following surgery, fracture, or soft tissue injury will find the soft resistance appropriate for patients who are beginning to rebuild grip and pinch strength after the acute phase of recovery. Patients recovering from carpal tunnel release, trigger finger repair, or hand fractures who need a gentle, low-resistance medium for home exercise programs will find the 1 lb size provides ample putty for extended sessions and a full variety of hand and finger exercises. Individuals managing arthritis, tendinitis, or other chronic hand conditions who perform daily maintenance exercises to preserve strength and joint mobility will benefit from the non-greasy, skin-safe formula that makes extended use comfortable. Clinics and therapy departments stocking putty for patient use will find the 1 lb size a practical quantity for shared or individual patient kits.

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. Red (Soft) is appropriate for early-stage rehabilitation when some baseline grip strength has returned. 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. 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.

What is the difference between the 1 lb and smaller sizes?
The 1 lb size provides the most putty per container, making it ideal for extended exercise sessions, a wide variety of exercises in a single session, or facilities stocking putty for patient use. Smaller sizes (2 oz, 4 oz, 6 oz) are more portable and better suited for home programs, travel, or individual patient kits. All sizes offer the same resistance level and formula.
