Very firm, oily, and expensive
This BodyMed Premium Hand Therapy Putty is surprisingly firm. I did select the firm one, but I didn’t expect it to be the hard. I can see how this would be helpful in improving grip strength and dexterity, but at the same time, I would be concerned of the negative effects of misusing this and arthritis; there are no directions or suggested exercises to give it more credibility, so you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between this and any other putty like the kids toys. The price is quite steep in my opinion and it would be difficult to justify the cost without the benefits. Also, although the label states it is dry, there is definitely an oily solution on it which I don’t t necessarily find uncomfortable and is probably necessary to keep it from hardening even more, but would be nice to know what it is and if it is meant to be on there.<br /><br />Overall this product isn’t bad; however, the price makes it more unappealing and the lack of information/labels/facts give it little credibility. Be sure to select the firmness appropriately as the this green one is a lot firmer than you would think putty would be. If you are looking for an alternative way to rehabilitate your finders/hands/forearms, and don’t mind the stew price, and believe this might work better for you than it did for me, then this might be the one for you.
