Freegrace Hand Grip Strengthening Stress Relief Squeeze Balls/Squishy Ball Bundle - Hand Exercise & Therapy Set - Physical Rehabilitation

Arrived just fine. I watched Youtube videos for uses & better instructions than are included & so have a routine down now. The round balls are quite big but eggs are perfect smaller size. Seller could make it clearer what sizes they are. I have a small but similar set of rounds already but wanted several sets around the house & these are definitely better grades of firmness between the levels. I would recommend.I mention for me the smaller egg's are prefect. I use them not only for hands but for feet too and so the larger balls are well suited for the foot.For folks interested in how they work beyon just strength training some answers are in Sue Hitzman's MELT technique that she attempts to explain with explainations of Fascia and the complete Fascia system and links within the body. I have not found a lot of differences in using the different firmness levels but usually just go with the least firm for both hands and feet. I suggest folks pick up a copy of her MELT technique book from public libraries or buy as I did used. I got a copy that was like brandnew for 5 here on Amazon. Check Ebay for used books though sometimes they have better ones. The 5 included shipping charges. The book on the whole is quite boring and you can pretty much skip right through to around pg 188 and then scim pages for the actual techniques or excerises on how to use the balls and what they may or may not do for you. As much as I appreciate her and other authors sharing their insights I HATE reading redundant self praise. Not sure if this is created by the authors themselves or if some book publishers seem to think they need to do a lot of filler pages to plump up the book. Instead I would perfer a chart or even a flip book where each page has a different routine or excerise shown that you can use. These authors of these types of books are missing out by not inventing something like that. I however have computer and simple old fashion Power Point or even more sophisticated graphic programs let me develop my own personal charts/flip books. Some books are well enough done you can copy paste the photos or drawings directly into Power Point and arrange then in order those you want to run through. Enough about figuring out how to use the balls more than just basic squeeze and release gripping. Youtube is a very good source of how too's. Leaving a ball or two in various places around the house is helpful for you to use them daily at least once. For me personally that's at my computer, side table in reading/TV chair, bedside table and in summer outdoors on back patio couch/chair area. The outside ones are also my portable grab and go balls for taking camping too or road trips. I've even taken them on train trips. Size is realtive to your personal need or use and what feels good to you. I have small hands thus prefer the smaller sizes. I have never tried the ring option sold here so can't say much about those. I do not follow Sue H's book exactly. I do not bother with assessing and re-assessing or in other words obessing with daily use. I don't even do the routines in the order she insists they are done and I've added others picked up from youtube videos too. But assement routines are good for folks learning to use them I suppose and she stresses it's value so maybe for some it's more important but for me it's an annoyance and time costing step or two.

Purchased for 81 year old mom, arthritis and sadly, early dementia. Having activity items nearby is essential for dementia patients and of course, these are perfect for general hand exercise. She reaches for them often, but is using the softest one most. I'm using the firmest and I'm finding them a lot more versatile than I might have thought. There's a hundred different ways to squeeze and move them through your fingers to provide muscle tension through the entire arm. You can make a challenging workout or just play around. I've found myself reaching for them every night while I watch TV. I do physical therapy daily with mom and taught her how to include these along with other exercises we do. Hold your arms straight out, palms up, squeeze - you'll feel it to the shoulders! Doesn't matter what your grip strength is since you don't have to try to depress them fully. They are quite firm overall and not mushy but that's what you need. When mom's alone for a while, she's got TV and some toys to use, but she understands they are providing good exercise and she likes that they are available. Self care is important to encourage for dementia patients and any senior, really. I am pleased that she enjoys them. The fact that they have no smell is important to mom. Dementia often causes heightened sensitivity to odors, tastes, temperatures, etc. She has a different type of toy that smells of rubber and she won't use that one. She was very happy these don't smell. I personally wouldn't care about a smell but a lot of people are sensitive, so these work for those folks. Added bonus: the bottoms of the balls and eggs kind of glow in overhead lights. Check out the pic! Cool. Also, the textured surface is easy to grip and they feel good in the hands. Great value, I thought.

I had trigger-release surgery (open) on each digit and thumb so I have a rather large incision area. As part of my therapy, it was recommended that I use a soft therapy ball. I just started my therapy about a week ago and these squeeze balls have helped with that therapy.PROS: - I like that the set includes soft, medium, and hard balls. (SOFT: covered ball, green ball and green egg. MEDIUM: red ball and egg.HARD: blue ball (not covered) and egg.- The balls/eggs have a non-sticky surface so no need to powder the ball like some manufacturers suggest.- Set includes 1 covered soft squeeze ball, which helps with variety.- I like that the set includes squeeze balls and eggs for various hand and fingers exercises.- The balls arrived packed in a little tray (clear) which I use to store the balls when not in use. Very convenient! (See picture. Tray is actually clear and is on a black desk)CONS:- NO exercise pamphlet, diagram, or instructions included other than what is printed on the box, which isn't much! (See picture) Yes, it is easy enough to figure out how to squeeze a ball (hahaha!) as well as look online for suggestions, but it would be nice to have that included.- The balls are a bit smaller than I'd like (female) and my husband and son find them particularly small.- For my needs, the covered ball has proven to be mildly annoying. There is no way to position the ball where a seam does not hit my incisions. I realize that this will not be a con for everyone, but feel it is appropriate to mention.- The balls are not perfectly round, particularly the green (soft) one. It has a couple of flat areas. Since it is a squeeze ball, this isn't a huge issue but one does expect a ball to be round. ;-)Overall, I like this set and recommend it.
