I ordered the ... ( 4 months ago by banglizette)
I ordered the product and am wondering how many days should I be exercising my wrist/hand? Also, how many repetitions should I be doing. I'm recovering from tendonitis in my wrist. I saw a physical therapist whom recommended that I start a rehabilitation regiment contingent upon my pain tolerance. Thank you in advance for replying!

Hi banglizette:
Thanks for your question. Handmaster Plus use will stimulate natural muscle tone, balance & blood flow (all important factors to healing properly). It is difficult to comment on individual cases, as all should be treated as unique. Your therapist must determine a rehab schedule. Use Handmaster Plus until comfortable fatigue only (usually less than 1 minute), never into pain, 1-3 times per day max. Never overuse, always consult a therapist during rehabilitation.
Best,

Hi meatwizard:
Thank you for your question. Our company had a poor container of Handmaster Plus cords aproximately 3 years ago. This is the batch that you have probably have heard a review from. We have since changed our material & QC to use a USA elastomere (GLS USA) to make super-durable, consistent & yet comfortable cords. We work hard to be the #1 hand exerciser on the market. Staisfaction is our primary concern. The current cords are all new design & warranteed (3 months)

im an online gamer and im feeling numbness and tingling and...my doc dosnt belive me and thought i was just wanting to get out of school...what should i do?

Hi m3andmyb0w:
Unfortunately, there is not much I can do. Your Dr. has the call. I can say that we receive tingling and numbness comments regularly from gamers (due to repetitive gripping/flexion), but it is your Dr.'s decision whether this would require missing school to correct. Either way, you should see a therapist who works with upper extremity injuries and rehabs addressing rebalancing the finger muscles and stimulates blood flow. Our Handmaster Plus is the common choice.

great video!!!! ... ( 1 month ago by ureonmyhitlist)
great video!!!! learned alot couldnt you just use a rubber band that wasnt real tight? just a question thx

Hi ureonmyhitlist:
Thanks for the q. I am the developer of Handmaster Plus, and your comment is very interesting and intuitive. In practise, I used to use rubber bands for finger and thumb extension. The problem is that the rubber bands would slip easily before the fingers and thumb were through full ranges of motion. Developing Handmaster Plus allowed me to strengthen patients through full ROM's, and couple many exercises into 1 (flex + extend), ensuring compliance and ease.

soric23 has the classic symptoms and it appears to be in just one hand. I have had this problem for a number of years (both hands) and I know from experience that the use of your product would aggravate the condition. As far as preventing someone from getting it...who knows...as it would be impossible to prove. Sorry for posting a negative comment but this is how I see it. deweycal
