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.

I'd like to buy one, but...
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)

You will enjoy the feel of strength, balance and maximum blood flow. Enjoy, and let us know how you are doing...

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.

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.
