FleXtend® Orthotic Glove

FleXtend® Advanced Treatment for the Prevention and Rehabilitation of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Repetitive Strain Injuries.

FleXtend® is a patented Orthotic exercise system that provides relief from the symptoms associated with carpal tunnel syndrome, repetitive strain injuries and epicondylitis. It does this by correcting the imbalance between the two groups of muscles in your hands and forearms. In the hand these muscles are the Flexors, that close the hand and the Extensors that open it. These are opposing muscle groups that are located on top and beneath the fingers, when the hand is viewed palm down. The Flexor (closing) muscles become overly developed because they are constantly used to grip and click while the Extensor (opening) muscles are relatively underused so they do not develop the same degree of muscular strength. This causes the imbalance. This influences the resting position of your fingers as (in relative terms) the overly developed and stronger Flexor muscles pull against the weaker Extensor muscles more than they should and so the fingers of the hand tend to claw; pain and numbness can then be experienced, due to the pressure this puts on nerves and blood vessels.

FleXtend® I: Is a single glove in which you have the choice of: size, left and right-handed.

FleXtend® II: This combination is a pair of FleXtend® Orthotic Gloves for those wishing, or advised by their physician, to exercise both hands. It saves $24 compared to buying them separately.

FleXtend® Orthotic Gloves come with full instructions and a video to guide you through the initial 12-week exercise program that is clinically proven to correct muscle imbalance problems and RSI in the hands, fingers and wrist from any source and with our particular computer RSI focus, FleXtend® is guaranteed to correct the imbalance that mousing with ordinary mice creates. Maintenance Program of Exercises 1-2 x Daily, 3 days per week, then ensures you do not create the imbalance again.
