Frequently Asked Questions

Which resistance level should I start with?

If you’re recovering from surgery or have significant weakness, start with Yellow (X-Soft). For general conditioning or mild weakness, Red (Soft) or Green (Medium) is a good starting point. Always follow your occupational or physical therapist’s recommendation for your specific condition and stage of recovery.

How do I use this ball with hot or cold therapy?

For heat therapy, warm the ball in warm (not boiling) water for a few minutes before use to help relax stiff joints and muscles prior to exercise. For cold therapy, place the ball in a sealed bag and refrigerate or briefly freeze it to help reduce inflammation after exercise. Always wrap in a thin cloth if applying cold directly to skin.

How often should I use a hand exercise ball?

Most therapy protocols recommend 2–3 sets of 10–15 repetitions, 2–3 times per day. However, frequency and intensity should be guided by your therapist based on your diagnosis and recovery stage. Avoid overuse if you experience pain or increased swelling.

Is this ball suitable for arthritis?

Yes — the X-Soft and Soft resistance levels are commonly used in arthritis management programs to maintain joint mobility and reduce stiffness without overloading inflamed joints. Consult your healthcare provider or occupational therapist before starting any new exercise program if you have an active arthritis flare.
