My Story – Joint Hypermobility Syndrome

“I will need to give you a little bit of background information, so you understand how much this device has improved my life. I have an inherited condition that affects my joints and makes me prone to developing repetitive forearm injuries. At 25 I developed a painful condition in both wrists, and after many failed types of physiotherapy and exercise as well as a resistance to various painkillers, I had to resign and quit my job.”

“ITS A LIFE SAVER”

“I thought I would never be able to work again, but then I found Powerball. With continuous training, I was able to take off so much of the daily pain I was going through. I am now able to keep up my IT support job, which would not be possible with ergonomic mouse and keyboard alone. Wherever I go, I take a Powerball with me. My life wouldn’t be the same without this tool and I am eternally grateful for its existence as well as the deeply impressive customer service this company provides. Thank you for giving me back so much of the life quality I lost years ago. I would recommend Powerball to anyone suffering from painful conditions in their forearms – It’s a life saver.” Lilli Michaelis IT Support What is a Powerball Depending on the model you choose, a Powerball will weigh between 300 and 500 grams and despite only being the size of a tennis ball, it can generate over 60 times its weight in isometric resistance, simply by turning your wrists. Powerballs are encased in a metal or polycarbonate shell and are a type of gyroscope (gyroscopes can also be found in planes, spaceships, and robots). Powerball is different from a standard gyroscope, however, as it harnesses the power of its spinning rotor for rehabilitation and strengthening purposes. Combine Powerball with our specific exercise programmes and effectively strengthen & rehabilitate from fingertip to shoulder. Exercise with Powerball is 100% non-impact so it allows you to strengthen without putting pressure on tendons and joints.  What is Joint Hypermobility Syndrome

Joint Hypermobility Syndrome – Finger / Hand Rehabilitation & Strengthening

How Powerball aids Hand/Finger Rehabilitation – More Info Powerball is highly efficient at strengthening the forearm flexor & Extensor muscles – These muscles power your fingers. Powerball builds strength and endurance in the muscle through isometric resistance training– the faster you spin the ball, the more resistance you will feel. Increased Blood Circulation Powerball dramatically increases blood circulation to the muscles and connecting tendons –using Powerball uses and engages ALL 4 of the main forearm muscles. Stimulating a muscle using Powerball increases circulation right throughout the tissue with all the associated benefits this brings (healing, increased muscle flexibility, reduced stress on connecting tendons, rehabilitation).

This is very important for a Hypermobility Syndrome sufferer who has pain and stiffness in the fingers, wrists and arms. Exercising with Powerball creates full circumduction of the wrist joint increasing flexibility, strength and health right throughout the whole kinetic chain from fingertip to shoulder. Non-Impact Resistance Non-impact resistance stops muscle wastage while in recovery – Muscles tend to atrophy (waste away) increasing recovery periods. Exercise with Powerball is 100% non-impact resistance. The resistance can be as little as 1.0lb or as much as 35lbs of force, depending on how fast you spin the Powerball. As a result, it can be used to gently exercise while you’re rehabilitating without any fear of over-exertion. This helps to maintain muscle mass right throughout the recovery period.

Joint Hypermobility Syndrome wrist strengthening & rehabilitation

How Powerball strengthens & rehabs the wrist – More info Wrist pain can originate for many reasons, however, most commonly it is inflamed tendons or damage to the forearm muscles. Using Powerball increases blood circulation bringing healing oxygen-rich nutrients to damaged tendons and muscles.

However, unlike traditional isotonic concentric and eccentric exercises (e.g dumbbell curls), Powerballs exercise is in the form 100% non-impact isometric resistance.

If you are in pain from joint hypermobility syndrome Powerball will both strengthen and rehabilitate at the same time. This is impossible with traditional exercise as you would further damage sore joints, muscles & tendons. Cure & prevent repetitive strain injuries (RSI) Cure & prevent repetitive strain injuries (RSI) from joint hypermobility syndrome – these are a common cause of wrist pain and can occur from repetitive movements like typing, playing an instrument or sport. Powerball is uniquely adept at preventing and curing RSI symptoms. Building wrist strength Wrist & grip strength comes directly from the muscles in your forearms. Powerball is incredibly efficient at exercising your forearms in a unique way using gyroscopic resistance. Exercising with Powerball is 100% non-impact isometric exercise which is most effective for rehabilitation. Isometric resistance Training Powerball can be as gentle or as powerful as you like. At low revolutions, the isometric resistance is soothing and therapeutic. However, Powerball is a world-class wrist strengthener and Powerballs rotor can generate the resistance equivalent to lifting a 25kg dumbbell without any of the strain from lifting weight on your joints and tendons. Follow our physio-designed wrist rehabilitation & strengthening program, which gives you a practical, easy-to-follow recovery path.

A Little bit about Powerspin

Powerspin is an upper body exerciser like no other and can create limitless resistance depending on your fitness level. The faster you spin the ball around the tube, the more resistance Powerspin generates making it a highly-effective device for treating shoulder pain. Start by gently spinning the ball around inside the tube for only a couple of minutes each day and slowly build the intensity as you progress through your recovery. One customer accurately described Powerspin as a “treadmill for your arms and shoulder” – and we couldn’t have said it better ourselves. Powerspin is a 100% non-impact form of exercise as no shoulder movement is required to effectively heal and strengthen the muscles in your shoulders.https://youtu.be/BiLtyoPoy-Q
