FAQ

Grip strength has been found to be one of the best predictors of multiple different markers of health and wellbeing including:

 – bone density across multiple different sites including muscles that are distant to the hand and forearm

 – risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and overall mortality

 – lower risk of hip fractures in those with better grip strength

 – and even risk of mild cognitive impairment and depression correlates with poor grip strength.

Perhaps poor grip strength is just a reflection of sedentary lifestyle, but given it is critical as we age for mobility and independence, strengthening grip is a simple thing you can do for better health.

Your PT Bands will keep stretching back and forth for years, as long as you respect them and follow a few simple rules:

You may find that plenty of your favorite exercises require an anchor (where you secure one end of your PT Band to a fixed object). Whenever you do this, make sure that your PT band isn’t rubbing against any sharp or rough edges, or you might start cutting into the surface of the band.  PT Bands are tough, but sharp edges will start to cut into them.

If you’re tying knots in your PT Band, to secure them to an anchor or to another band, untie your knots whenever you’re not using them.  It’s best to tie knots in different sections of your PT Band with each use, because under tension, the band can actually start cutting into itself.  Store PT bands inside and untied for greatest longevity.

Regularly inspect your PT Band for any cuts or defects, and if you do find any, stop using that band!  PT Bands are constructed in layers, so if you do damage a couple of layers, the band is very unlikely to snap.  But once those layers start fraying, it’s time to replace your band.

If you have any questions about caring for your band, please contact us.

 

Your order will be delivered by Australia Post to your door 2-5 business days after you put through payment.

Generally, if bands are kept unknotted and out of the weather and with normal use, we expect them to last 1-2 years.

Please see PT Bands for information about looking after your bands.
