Soft Grip Strength Ball - Gentle Strength, Right From the Start

One of the most common questions in the early stages of upper limb recovery is - "what can I actually do right now?"

This ball may help bridge that gap between doing nothing and doing too much. Gentle enough for the earliest stages of recovery, and a possible stepping stone before progressing to stronger resistance tools, always guided by your health professional.

Ultra Soft Squeeze
Made from soft PU foam, gentle on sensitive, post-operative hands and joints with minimal resistance.

Easy to Hold
Round shape sits naturally in the palm, no awkward grip position required.

Gentle Starting Point
A gentle option before progressing to firmer grip strength tools or resistance training when guided by your health professional.

Compact & Lightweight
Small enough to keep on a bedside table, in a bag, or beside your chair, right where you need it.

Available in Three Colours
Blue, Red, Yellow.

Only begin using this once your surgeon or physiotherapist has cleared you to start gentle strengthening. Timing matters, starting too early can interfere with healing.

When you're ready, keep it simple. Gently squeeze and hold for a few seconds, then slowly release. There should be no sharp pain during or after. A little muscle fatigue is normal, pain is not.

As this becomes easier, your physio can guide you on when to progress to firmer resistance.

Material: Polyurethane Foam

Shape: Round

Diameter: 7 cm

This information is general advice only and may not be suitable for everyone.

Do not begin grip strengthening exercises until you have been cleared to do so by your surgeon or treating health professional. Post-surgical protocols vary, always follow the specific guidance given for your procedure.

Stop if you experience pain, increased swelling, or discomfort and seek advice from your health professional before continuing.
