CanDo TheraPutty Plus Hand Exercise Putty Set - Strengthen Hands

In this review the CanDo TheraPutty Plus hand exercise putty set is judged primarily as a simple, durable tool for hand strengthening and fine motor work. The set of six 2oz containers covers a wide range of resistances so therapists, patients, parents and adults seeking stress relief have options, and the anti-microbial formula is the single biggest practical reason to pick this kit for repeated use in clinics or at home. It is straightforward to use and requires no setup, which makes it a reliable addition to rehabilitation routines.

Key Features

• Range of resistances: Six color-coded firmness levels provide progressive resistance for the weakest grasp up to extra-firm grip development.
• Anti-microbial formula: The TheraPutty Plus material resists odor-causing microbes and helps keep the putty cleaner between sessions.
• Non-toxic and allergen friendly: The compound is latex-, gluten- and casein-free and non-toxic if swallowed, making it safer for mixed-age use.
• Durable feel: The premium material is formulated to retain a non-greasy texture and not dry out over time, supporting repeated exercises.
• Versatile exercises: Squeeze, pinch, stretch and twist motions allow practice of flexion, extension, press, pinch and adduction movements for hands and wrists.

Who It's For

The CanDo TheraPutty Plus kit is best for occupational and physical therapy patients, rehab clinics, and home users needing progressive resistive material for hand and wrist recovery. Children who need to develop fine motor control can use the softer levels for play and skill building, while adults benefit from firmer levels for strengthening and stress relief.

It may be less ideal for users who want large tubs for long daily sessions since each container is 2oz; people who need a single very firm resistance only might prefer purchasing larger or single-resistance options elsewhere.
