Theraputty

Theraputty was recommended by my child's occupational therapist for use at home during therapy sessions. The goal of our practice is to improve hand strength and pencil grip. It works well, though I am not always successful in getting my child to use it. I like that it has a variety of consistency options and that I can let my younger child "play" with them. br>br>Ever since I banned Play-Doh, I've been worried about the stickiness and messiness. do, slime, or any other product that my kids could use to wreak havoc on my house (which has happened several times). This product does not crumble, melt, smell, or transfer color.

It can also be a good stress reliever because, unlike the slime/clay/dough sold everywhere else, it is resistant and does not break or dry. br>br>My son has spent a lot of time with these putties, looking for objects like beads and dice. He loves this activity, and I'm glad it keeps him calm and focused while also satisfying his sensory requirements. br>br>As for me, I use these putties to improve my grip strength and even use them as negative space if I need to apply pressure to a specific area and keep it in place with a fabric bandage. br>br>However, because these putties contain polymers, they will adhere to silicone, even if they will not adhere to most solid surfaces. I discovered this the hard way when I was handling these putties while wearing my silicone wedding ring and couldn't get the putty off. br>br>As for other issues, I haven't noticed any stains yet, but I make sure my son handles it in a controlled environment just in case. There's no odor to it either. It is not oily, and it does not appear to stick to the surfaces that my son and I have worked these putties on (with the exception of silicone, as I mentioned in the previous paragraph). br>br>I highly recommend this product and see it as an excellent investment in both my son's and my own development!.

Putty used for therapy. Theraputty is not a toy that should be played with without adult supervision. It is a therapeutic exercise material that should only be used by adults or children under the supervision of an adult. br>I've read several reviews where people have complained that these tubs don't hold a large enough glob of putty. Or that this stuff causes fabric to deteriorate. Because it is so soft and won't hold its shape, it is difficult to play with. WELL. When people order a 2 oz. , I'm not sure what they're expecting. Physical therapy putty is a package of putty that can be used for a variety of purposes This is not modeling clay or play dough. It's a very smooth, pliable, elasticized physical therapy putty that comes in a variety of strengths and is absolutely invaluable as a physical therapy tool for anyone who has had any type of surgery on their hands or wrists. Theraputty never loses its elasticity or soft texture, and it never dries out. It's critical to keep it in its original container to avoid it "oozing" into crevices and fabrics. When a consumer opens a tub of putty, they will notice that it is smooth, shiny, and self-leveling. It has a "Silly Putty" feel to it, and while there are no warnings on the container, common sense should tell you that any self-leveling product can and will seep into any pours surface it comes into contact with for an extended period of time. br> Each tub's lump of putty is color-coded for its pressure level and is just the right size to fit into the palm of almost any hand, making it the ideal amount of putty for manipulating weak, swollen fingers and wrist muscles that need strengthening, and a 2 oz. In the hands of a three-year-old, a ball of putty is enormous! If you leave it out, it will soak into your clothes, furniture, and carpet, just like Silly Putty. Unlike Silly Putty, this stuff won't pick up dirt and will keep its silky smooth texture as long as you use it for its intended purpose and store it in its original container between uses. Theraputty is non-toxic and antibacterial-treated, and it will last a lifetime if properly cared for. My physical therapist had me work with the softest available putty after a fairly serious hand injury, and my hand was so weak that I could barely squeeze it. I recently purchased this set so that I can use it at home to improve my strength and endurance in my spare time, such as while watching TV in the evenings. My husband uses the black (firmest) putty to exercise his hands and keep his joints from stiffening up, despite the fact that I doubt I will ever regain enough strength to manipulate it. br>I have to admit, my six-year-old niece enjoys playing with this stuff, but we keep it on a table, and she knows not to spill anything on anything else. This product, unlike most children's play putty, does not crumble or leave any difficult-to-clean residue. So go ahead and let the kids have some fun with it. in the presence of an adult br>I strongly advise anyone who has problems with their hands or fingers, including occasional joint stiffness or swelling, as well as arthritis, to use this product. It's great for loosening up your fingers before starting any crafting project that requires a lot of finger movement, or even before playing a musical instrument that requires a lot of finger movement. I wouldn't recommend this product as a modeling clay or a toy for small children unless they're supervised because it can ruin clothing and carpets. br>Although this product does not come with printed warnings or instructions, you can always ask your physical therapist to print out diagrams and instructions for recommended therapy putty exercises. You can also find a lot of YouTube videos and articles on the internet to help you. If you're going to use Theraputty with kids, make sure you play with them first. It's fun to squeeze and squish this stuff, and it's also therapeutic for people of all ages.

' They clearly do not understand the meaning of the term "2 Ounces. " I bought these for my mother because she uses them in Physical Therapy, but I ended up taking one of the colors myself. They don't have a scent, aren't sticky, and don't leave a residue. When I'm on the road, I use it in the car. It's great to use while doing homework or watching TV; I've even dropped it on the car floor and it didn't pick up much dirt; it's great to use while doing homework or watching television. I keep one in my purse because it is a good stress reliever when I have to wait. br>br>One thing I like about silly putty is that it takes effort to soften it, and it starts out stiff. These, on the other hand, never change their consistency. The soft will begin to soften, but the hard will never soften. They also never, ever dry out. I tried leaving one of them out of the container overnight to see what would happen. br>br>The putty is very shape-resistant, which is to be expected. When you roll it up and place it down, it loses its shape (even the black X-ray). firm). Let me add that the black x-ray x-ray x-ray x-ray x-ray firm is a firm that is EXTREMELY firm. It hurts my hand a lot to use it, so it's probably best for people who have stronger grips. It's easier to keep using and squeezing them because they're resilient to maintaining a single shape. These aren't like anything you'd find in a kid's room. People who allow their children to use these and then complain about them are not using them correctly and are being extremely foolish consumers; instead, go out and buy your children some play-things. dough. br>br>Hopefully this is of use to someone; I was hesitant to buy them at first, but I'm glad I did.
