Description
Description
Grip strength is easy to overlook, and one of the simplest things to work on.
Whether you're getting back into hand exercises or simply noticing your grip isn't what it was, a small, soft ball you can squeeze anywhere is one of the most accessible starting points there is. In a chair, watching television, at the desk. No setup, no space needed.
Soft polyurethane (PU) foam that feels comfortable in the hand, firm enough to provide real resistance without being difficult to squeeze. 7cm diameter. Fits naturally in the palm.
Blue, Red, or Yellow. $35 each.
General use items, not prescribed aids. If your surgeon, physiotherapist or occupational therapist has recommended something specific, follow that first.

Important Safety Information
Important Safety Information
This ball is a general exercise tool and does not replace professional health advice. Always consult a qualified health professional before starting a new hand or grip exercise programme, particularly if you are recovering from surgery or managing arthritis or a joint condition.
There should be no sharp pain during squeezing. General muscle fatigue is normal, pain is not. Discontinue use and seek advice from a health professional if you experience pain, numbness, or tingling during or after use.

Why we like this
Grip is something we use all day without thinking: opening jars, carrying bags, holding a cup steady. A small ball you can squeeze while sitting is one of the easiest ways to keep working on it.We like them because they're simple to use every day, without carving out exercise time.
The physio behind the store
I built this store because I was already recommending this equipment in sessions every day. As a mobile physio working in people's homes, I know what actually fits a real living room, a real bedroom, a real kitchen and what older adults will actually use.
Everything here has been in my kit bag, used with real clients, and chosen because it works in the home environment, not just in a clinic.

Ways to use it:
-
Full grip — hold it in your palm and squeeze as firmly as is comfortable, then slowly release
-
Two-finger pinch — hold it between index finger and thumb, the grip you use for keys and coins
-
Three-finger pinch — the same, with the middle finger added
-
Fingers only — squeeze with the four fingers, thumb resting
-
Both hands — work each hand rather than favouring the stronger one
These are general use items, not prescribed exercises. How often and how many is a decision for your doctor, physiotherapist or occupational therapist. This is general information, not advice about your situation.
Key features & benefits
What makes us different
Everything on this store is something we actually use. It's in our kit bag. We bring it into real sessions with real clients, week after week. If it's here, it's because we've tried it, trusted it, and seen how people actually use it at home.
We're not trying to sell you everything. The range is curated for older adults building strength and independence at home, and simplicity is the whole point. You don't need a home gym. You don't need to be an expert.
As a mobile physio practice, we can only reach so many people in person. This store is how we share what works with everyone else.
Movement keeps you going
The evidence is clear: it is never too late to start. A few minutes of movement most days is a good place to start. You don't need a gym, a trainer, or a complicated programme. You need simple equipment that works at home and a reason to pick it up.
Three things regular movement may help maintain
-
Muscle StrengthWe naturally lose muscle mass as we age. Resistance exercise is one of the most effective tools for slowing that process — at any age.
-
Balance & StabilityBalance is a skill, and it responds to regular practice.
-
Independence at HomePeople over 65 benefit more from adequate fitness than any other age group — to maintain independence, recover from illness, and reduce disease risk.
