Theraband Ball

The TheraBand Soft Weight Ball is a 4.5-inch vinyl-coated weighted ball designed for isotonic strengthening exercises in rehabilitation and training. Unlike dumbbells, the ball shape allows for a natural, functional grip and can be used for unilateral or bilateral exercises, thrown against a rebounder for plyometric work, or held during rotational and shoulder movements. For climbers, it is useful for shoulder strengthening and scapular stability exercises, rotator cuff loading, and upper extremity conditioning work where a compact, easy-to-grip weight is more practical than a dumbbell. The 3.3 lb Red version is a practical starting point for most upper extremity rehab programs.

Squishy Ball

The TheraBand Hand Exerciser is a soft rubber squeeze ball used in hand, finger, and forearm rehabilitation to restore grip strength, dexterity, and range of motion following injury. Available in multiple resistance levels — from Extra Soft (Yellow) through to Extra Firm (Black) — it allows progressive loading through a full squeezing motion with consistent resistance throughout the range. For climbers, it is a useful early-stage rehabilitation tool for finger and pulley injuries, returning grip function after periods of immobilization, and addressing forearm weakness during recovery. It can also be heated or cooled for use alongside hot and cold therapy protocols.

Pocket Master

The PocketMaster is a compact solid wood training block designed for finger strength and grip development through loaded hangs and dead hang training. At 90 × 100 × 30 mm and 190 g, it fits in a gym bag and can be used anywhere — at home, at the gym, or at the crag. It offers four edge depths (6, 10, 14, and 18 mm) and two pinch surfaces (30 mm and 100 mm), covering the range of grip positions relevant to both climbing training and finger rehabilitation. For climbers returning from injury, the variety of edge depths allows precise load management during progressive tendon loading protocols.

Loading Pin

A weight loading pin is a simple attachment that allows standard or Olympic weight plates to be suspended from a cable, pulley, or strap system for a wide range of loading exercises. For climbers, it is most commonly used for wrist roller exercises, finger and wrist flexion and extension loading, and dead hang progressions where a specific, measurable load needs to be attached to a training device. It is also used with hanging straps or towels for grip and pulling strength work. The iron construction supports up to 130 kg, and the carabiner attachment makes it compatible with most cable and pulley setups.

Small Dowel

A 1-inch birch wood dowel rod is a simple, low-cost tool used to increase the grip and wrist challenge during rowing, curling, and other pulling exercises. By gripping the dowel instead of a smaller handle, climbers create a longer lever and a larger gripping surface, which increases demand on the wrist stabilizers, forearm muscles, and finger flexors. This makes it useful for training wrist control, grip strength, and forearm endurance in movements that carry over to climbing. The pack of 5 provides multiple units for clinic, gym, or home use.
