hese solid egg shaped gel balls are designed to strengthen weakened or injured hands and wrists. They help improve handgrip strength, finger dexterity, and muscle tone. The user holds the balls and squeezes them to exercise. The balls are available in a range of different colours with different resistance levels. This Firm Eggserciser is the strongest in a series of four different strengths. We recommend that you work through the other strength Eggsercisers first unless an Occupational therapist has suggested otherwise. We also like them as anti-stress balls, particularly suited to children who tend to burst air or liquid gel filled balls. While not indestructible they can take a lot of use. However as this strength is firm it is only suited to teenagers/adults as a stress ball. When you squeeze, the muscles not only contract in your hand, but up your arm as well. Hold the squeeze for a second or two and then release. As your muscles relax, the tension will leave your arms and hands, thereby relieving stress. This is very simple but effective way to help relieve frustration and stress levels. Additional InformationThere are numerous benefits to using squeeze balls. Hand strength and dexterity will improve, helping the user to write more efficiently and grip and grab things easier. Squeeze balls also stimulate blood circulation and can help to reduce pain and stiffness. For teenagers who complain that their hand hurts during/after writing a squeeze ball will relieve the pain. The simple act of squeezing will also release tension and stress.Also helps concentration, you’d be surprised how effective a stress ball can be at boosting attention levels.
