The grip strengthening towel exercise builds hand and forearm strength by using a rolled towel as resistance. Squeezing the towel engages multiple grip muscles, improving endurance and functional hand strength for daily activities, sports, or post-injury rehab. It’s particularly useful for those recovering from wrist, hand, or forearm injuries.
- Come into a comfortable sitting position with the target limb positioned palm down with the elbow bent to 90 degrees.
- Bending through the knuckles to grip the object of choice, squeeze inwards to the palm.
- Hold the contraction as indicated by your Physiotherapist.
