GDTwist Grip Adjustable Resistance Bar for Physical Therapy, Relieves Tendonitis Pain & Improve Grip Strength, Grip Strength Trainer, Hand Exerciser Bars, Wrist and Elbow Strengthener, Multi-Flex Bars

Just received this twist grip. I was trying to create something similar that my PT had made with a stick, a weight, and a string. After my first time, my forearms are awake and singing loudly! A good sign! We shall see after more prolonged use where we wind up. So far, so good.

The twisting motion is not fluid. There is a lot of friction and even and a moderate level, there is some sticking. The sticking gets worse the higher the spring tension is. This might be better if there were metal parts instead of plastic. It does have a comfortable padded grip though.

I like the color and the quality of the product. I use this for mt OT Therapy for my hands. Love It!

Also does not return to starting position. Poor quality but good idea.

Internal frirction between moving parts causes binding. The binding prevents the unit from returning to the relaxed state without user assistance (at all settings.) At higher settings, the binding greatly interferes with the exercise. I've had mine for 3 months and the binding is getting worse. This unit is headed for the trash.

This is a very useful addition to other tools for prevention, physical therapy and excercise. I like this as it engages both sides, and it's fun to be creative with. I would recommend this for other musicians as well, for forearm conditioning. Some days I drive a lot, and I also do a lot of computer work, so like to have different tools around for conditioning, releasing tension, and to manintain health. This one is vesatile. The adjustable resistance means you can change the degree of rotation and tension, which is good for grip strength but also for different exercises. You can use this for range of motion, for toning and strengthening all through the arms, shoulders, and neck. There are ways to incorporate this into physical therapy, strength, toning, flexibility, endurance and even to enhace your posture.Includes a manual with exercises. One thing in the design is that the ridge pattern on the grips goes in the same direction on both sides, and I think it would be more comfortable to have it match for each side, for symmetry. A lot of exercise equiptment has that certain material with a bad odour, but I did not detect any bad smells on this.

REVIEW: GD Twist Grip Hand Grip Strengthener, Grip Strength Trainer, Adjustable Hand Exerciser Bars for Physical Therapy & Improving Grip Strength, Wrist and Elbow Strengthener, Multi Resistance BarsAs I've grown older, my wrists, my grip and my forearms have really started to weaken. Then, I was diagnosed the Rheumatoid Arthritis in my fingers, so they have been progressively worse. I needed something I could do to strengthen my wrists and arms without taking too much extra time out of my day.When I saw this exercise tool, I just had to give it a try. I started using it on the lightest resistance and have worked my way up a bit. I was surprised by two things. First, how much strength I've actually lost. At the start, my wife was able to have the same resistance level as me. Second, was how quickly I was able to gain muscle back. After a couple weeks, I could handle more resistance than she could. Of course, I was using the grip strengthener and she wasn't.My only issue is that the hand grips are a bit small for me but they fit my wife well. One size really doesn't fit all.This is such a simple tool to learn how to use, and that's what makes it so easy to use. I'm sure happy I saw and ordered this.

The media could not be loaded. I was pleasantly surprised by this wrist strengthener. I sprained my wrist recently and wanted to rehab it on my own without using much weight or too much movement. This bar is adjustable and allows you to move in a very controlled way. The resistance range is great - it goes all the way from very light to very strong resistance. It has made my wrist feel better, and I will continue to use it after my sprain pain goes away!
