Hi, I'm a guitarist and I play sports and use my hands continually through work, and I've developed tendonitis of the extensor muscles in both my forearms. The problem is not so bad where I can't perform activities. However, there is a consistent ache and a loss of strength and stamina especially while playing guitar. I'm interested in ordering the hand master plus. If I do get it should I begin using it or should I rest my hands as much as possible? Should I avoid activity or not?

Thanks PWW... u'll have to search Handmaster Plus and contact info (YouTube does not allow me to send our website via comments). Please send us a picture of your Handmaster Plus finger cord at least (better to send us the cord via mail 1124 Fir Ave #114 Blaine, WA 98230) so that we are sure about the problem cause. Once we get your mailing address, we can send you some new cords.

@doczac Right on, I bought mine from Musician's Friend. Thanks for the reply.

Interesting opinion... finger extensor muscles must be trained thru FULL ROM's in order to maximize stability. Elastic band is better than nothing but Handmaster Plus allows people to train finger extensors properly through full ROMs.

The best thing I found for hands is doing simple wrist curls with a dumbell, do 3 sets of 30-40 reps (forearm like calves have to be hit with high reps) both sides and then put a rubber band around your fingers and open and close them or use the ball here and do that exercise. The squeezing one is worthless after you do wrist curls. I do this 2-3 times a week. I was supposed to have surgery (guyon's canal syndrome) and many musicians told me not to..glad I listened.
I cut my left index finger (fretting hand) pretty badly near MPJ & between index and 2nd finger. Cut through 50% of the two flexor tendons and most of the inside nerve, lost feeling. I had surgery, prognoses is good. Swelling still 5 weeks after surgery. Trying lots of different things. Swelling, triggering, & scar tissue issues for me now. H.P. looks like an outstanding strengthening aid & guitar aid. Opinion request: would HM P. be a good match between these injuries and tool to help recover?

@ctmgtr11 :
Your case is why I developed Handmaster Plus as a rehab aid. HM+ resists ur hand muscles thru full ROM's (opening/closing), thus stimulates max blood flow (nutrients + O2 for healing) & muscle balance (stability). 2 key things you have to do: 1) get ur health care provider's okay for rehab exercise (you are stable enough for rehab) and 2) start with soft HM+ until you are ready for more resistance. Purchase a 3-pack (all strengths) search 'buy Handmaster Plus'

We get regular testinmonials from guitar, drum and piano teachers re: Handmaster Plus training. You will find it to be the most comprehensive hand exercise available for hand, wrist and elbow strength, balance & performance. No hand muscles are missed. All are exercised in balance. Nothing else does this so conveniently.
Be sure to use Handmaster Plus for warm up and cool down as well for health maintanence.

@Lokosnches : You can order online. Just search 'Handmaster Plus' in Google to find our website. You will see the BUY NOW button. The exercise should be performed 1-3 x per day each time until you feel a comfortable fatigue, this usually is felt at 30 seconds to one minute, not long.
Let me know if I can assist further.
