CanDo TheraPutty Hand Exercise Putty

TheraPutty is the color-coded therapy putty physical and occupational therapists reach for when rebuilding hand strength, grip endurance, and fine-motor control. Whether you're recovering from a wrist fracture, managing arthritis, working through carpal tunnel, or simply keeping aging hands nimble, squeezing, pinching, and pulling this pliable polymer builds strength progressively — and quietly, wherever you happen to be.

The color system is the whole point of choosing correctly. CanDo grades resistance from softest to firmest so you can start easy and advance as you heal:

• Tan (2X-Soft) and Yellow (X-Soft) — the gentlest starting points for early rehab, weak grip, or very sore hands.
• Red (Soft) and Green (Medium) — everyday strengthening for general reconditioning.
• Blue (Firm) and Black (X-Firm) — advanced resistance for building maximum grip and finger power.

Most people do best with a range rather than a single tub. The 6-piece Tan-through-Black sets (available in 2, 3, 4, and 6 oz sizes, plus a 1 lb clinic size) let you graduate through resistances as strength returns — ideal for home programs and therapy clinics alike. Prefer to stock a single level? Individual containers like the Yellow X-Soft, Green Medium 3 oz, and Blue Firm 4 oz are sold on their own, and we carry an empty container with lid for storing or portioning putty.

TheraPutty is non-toxic, latex-free, and won't dry out, crumble, or leave residue when stored in its sealed container. Warm it briefly in your hands if it feels stiff. For a complete home rehab setup, pair it with resistance bands and grip trainers from our hand exercise collection or browse the broader physical therapy category.
