Exercise bands

Exercise bands are elasticated resistance bands that can be used as a strengthening tool in the rehabilitation of an injury or as an alternative to weights for a general body workout. 
The bands come in varying levels of resistance to cater for differences in strength of users. The varying levels are very important when used in the rehabilitation of injuries such as the upper limb or ankle as the incorrect choice of level can hinder the recovery process and thus change the prognosis of the injury.

Resistance bands are also a great exercise alternative for people who travel or who have limited space at home as they are lightweight and fold up to a minimal size. It is importaant that you purchase the correct resistance level of exercise band in ralation to your progress so please speak to your practitioner before purchasing.

Color-coded progressive resistance gives at-a-glance documentation of progress from one level to the next.

With Thera-Band® resistive exercise systems, measuring progress and achieving goals for fitness or therapy is easier than ever before. Different resistance levels are determined by thickness of the tubing. We designed the Thera-Band® exercise tubing with color-coded levels increasing in difficulty from tan to silver.
