Exercise bands are ideal for building upper and lower body strength for rehabilitation or fitness. Whether building strength after shoulder or knee surgery or improving athletic performance, our bands, tubing and corresponding resistance exercise programs can be easily and economically used for any exercise program. The progressive resistance of our products parallels the basic concepts of building strength and mobility. As each level is mastered, the resistance can be increased with ability. In general, tan and yellow are used for early rehabilitation or very frail individuals. The most common resistances are red, green & blue. Black, silver and gold are typically used by athletes. The use of elastic resistance rather than weight-bearing exercises minimizes pressure on the joints and decreases the possibility of incurring other injuries. They can be used while traveling, sitting at home or even in the office. Uses for the Thera-Band Bands include: exercise, gym, balance, fitness, birthing, yoga, pilates, and stability and resistance.

Rated on 2008-03-14The bands are just fine, but what I was really pleased with was the customer service. The first set of bands was sent by US Mail and they never arrived. After I contacted Amazon, they put me in contact with the vendor and they express mailed another set. And, they e-mailed me to make sure it arrived.

wish it were supplied in smaller packaging units.
Rated on 2006-08-28I hired a personal trainer once awhile back and she'd given me a length of the red theraband. I took it for granted and had thought all would be the same, so when the one I had snapped (due to a sharp edge I inadvertantly got it caught on), I bought another band from a fitness store. It was nowhere near as nice as the theraband. It wasn't as grippable and the different resistances were all too tight: even the light one. Plus they were all too short and cumbersome. Theraband is definitely much higher quality than the others.
