Hand therapists always recommend starting with a
lower resistance and gradually working your way up to higher resistances. If
you have average strength hands, we recommend starting with the light tension
models (4-5 lb resistance). If you have stronger hands, we recommend starting
with the medium tension models (6-7 lb resistance). If you’re a teenager or if
you’ve had an injury or have arthritis, we highly recommend you start with the
lower tension models (1.5–3 lb resistance). Please remember, our product is
unique in that you can exercise each finger separately. You’ll be surprised at the
difference in strength between the pointer finger vs the pinky.
