Are these special balls any better than a plane new tennis ball for carpel tunnel & arthitius theraphy ?

Yes. Tennis balls are just too big and the therapy balls offer different levels from hard to soft. I use the soft one every night and roll it around my fingers like the magicians do and it has helped a lot.

My opinion is "Yes" ... they are smaller than a tennis ball .... the size and resistance levels engage more of the finger muscles and all the small bones in the palm of the hand.

In my opinion, yes, because the smaller size and three various strengths allow for a thorough comfortable hand workout. Good luck!

Personally I think they are. They are smaller, fitting inside my palm better. There are exercises included that I know I would find more difficult with a tennis ball. And I have found the three different firmnesses helpful in slowly building up my strength.

While I have never tried Futuro night support, I can fully attest to the effectiveness of the Mueller Night Brace. My carpal tunnel is so severe that I am unable to sleep without a really good night support brace; I have tried others, even a brand made in Germany far more expemsive that this one, and I can honestly tell you that the Mueller brace works far better. It completely eliminates carpal tunnel pain, and I am so grateful to have found it. I will be buying another shortly to use while I hand wash my current brace. I hope this help & if you try it you have equally great results with it. Good luck to you!

Michael, I'm not a gamer, but I find the wrist braces don't impair the movement of my wrists in any way. Needlework, however, is slower than gaming, so I might be comparing apples and oranges. On the other hand, doing needlework for hours on end with finicky little movements is pretty demanding of the entire wrist musculature and the nerves that pass through the wrist, so perhaps my experience can give you a little guidance. Also, they're worth trying---the price is certainly reasonable enough!

No. It is space ball for using in 3d cad or graphics software. They work great.

Should help. I'd also do some of the exercises in "Treat Your Own Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" too to help avoid problems.

The racquets are very light as they are just meant to hit the birdie. I wouldn't use them on a tennis ball.

I have to be honest... I do not know for sure. It is not a big ball, but has a good bounce. Honestly I use 2 of them to apply acupressure to my back.

The pressurizer you're looking at is really designed for tennis balls. If you were to use them for other sports, don't know if it can potentially over inflate the balls.

Hi . Rubber balls are no good. We use ordinary tennis balls eg Wilson/slazenger balls. Hope this helps.

Bigger than a golf ball and smaller than a tennis ball. Maybe handball sized. Really too soft to be of any value-- i find a simple golf ball does a bettehor job. For me, the only real value was in the wooden roller.

My husband has tendonitis (tennis elbow). I decided to give Tommy Copper a try after the other braces and compression bands failed. It works for him. Hope this helps.

They can hurt but since I'm not doctor I can't say for sure that they will help. Try them and see for yourself if they help. They are good for carpal tunnel.

yes, you should be able to throw a good distance, they are just a little less firm than a tennis ball(?). Hope this helps

The Spalding is hollow and bounces higher than any ball you have seen. The pinky does not seem to be hollow. It is heavier and very hard to squeeze. The Spaldine as we called it was the only ball we played with as a kid.

These are made for either hand.... right or left. I have to add that I have been wearing these at night and have had more improvement in my carpel tunnel then I expected. They are well-made, quite durable and hold up well with machine washing.Much better quality than I could find at chain pharmacy.

There's no comparison. Compared to this, the Pedi Egg might as well be making your callouses worse. It's easier to hold and the blades are much more effective.

I have heard the association of tennis elbow and golfer's elbow being similar if not the same irritation to the nerve in the elbow. I have also read other reviews by golfers claiming this product helped them. As I say in my review, this will probably help with most elbow pains associated with repetitive motion injuries. I am in no way medically qualified, but I will say that I think the price is reasonable enough to give it a shot. I have not found any product similar to this one on the shelf at Wal-Mart or the drug stores.
