Theraputty is also a wonderful tool to aid in hand and arm rehabilitation. It’s one of the modalities and tools that I used with my hand therapy patients, when appropriate.

Squeezing and working with theraputty strengthen intrinsic hand and finger muscles. These muscles are necessary for fine motor activities, such as holding utensils, including pencils and cutlery; manipulating scissors; and dressing and undressing.
