IronMindExpand-Your-Hand Bands 10 Pack: Kiss Elbow Pains Goodbye - Prevent, Rehab, Reduce Pain from Tennis Elbow, Carpal Tunnel. Authentic, original, effective

Not much to say, other than I keep these on my desk and use them for a few minutes a day. They have really helped with elbow/forearm pain.

I’ve had tennis elbow for about a year, after about 3 days of using the yellow band the pain is 99% gone. It’s also alleviated some wrist pain as well.

I ordered the grip bands to use in conjunction with the Captain of Crush grippers I have received from IronMind. The bands match the description. They seem to be doing the job. The expansion strength of my hands is increasing. I started with the white band and have worked my way up through green, to the yellow band. I have only been using the bands for a short time. If they prove to be durable, I will change my durability rating to 5 stars. MRC

A reasonably priced product to increase finger & hand strength. A simple design. Easy to use! I complete the exercises in a few minutes. I keep a set of these bands in the family room & in my car.

I got carpal tunnel / RSI (Repetitive stress injury) in my wrists and hands from typing and using the mouse for long periods of time at work. Especially clicking the mouse too much and bending my wrist left and right.I started dreading sitting down to work again and had to take time off and make drastic changes. I got an ergonomic keyboard and mouse along with these exercise bands and have not had any pain since I recovered, and am able to sit for longer periods of time (up to 1.5 hour) with no strain.Using these bands have strengthened my extensor and forearms muscles significantly and allow me to work with a clear mind knowing that I have the muscles and pliability to not get injured again.The key was understanding that your hand actually starts at your shoulder regarding the muscles that extend from the shoulder to your fingertips. There are so many key ligaments (bone to bone) and tendons (bone to muscle) that can get easily injured without proper care.I recommend searching on google for "extensor muscles" to see how the muscles are linked and really put in your mind why it's essential to increase your arm and hand pliability through exercise and stretching, which these bands do perfectly!

These are the best items I have found to train finger extension movements. It is important to train extension along with the flexion movements that are much more common for gripping items when you are working out to avoid muscle imbalances that would lead to tendonitis.As far as the bands go, placing them just below my fingernails and extending my fingers is intuitive and not difficult to set up. When I started with these even the skinniest, lightest bands proved a challenge despite my grip being quite strong. I can see a long road ahead of me to work up to the thickest bands.

I have purchased these several times since breaking my wrist in 2005 and they are a great help for rehab and helping with tendinitis. I can’t speak to the reliability of the heavier bands as I have never gotten that strong, I don’t think most people get to that level either.I received this batch a week or so ago and have only used them 3 or 4 times and one of the lightest ones broke, these and the next level are the only ones that break. I don’t think I have to explain why but they should not break that easily.Perhaps selling the bands in different sets, light/rehab and heavy/strength along with better QC would be an improvement. I hope something improves because these are the most convenient to use short of using rubber bands.Thank you,Richard Moniz

I nearly ordered another finger extending tool. But when I saw these were Iron Mind, I dropped the others to pick this one up instead.Yes, this set is likely more expensive than other alternatives but I wasn't convinced the others would last long. These are thin but I'm not concerned at all they will break. It's true you could likely use rubber bands but in the long run these are more logical practically speaking.I didn't realize how weak my right hand was until I used the trainer band (white) and my fingers were twitching, and my other hand was fine. I got these from Iron Mind and with another twisting bars set for my tennis elbow, and it's finally starting to get better.
