Thera-Band Products products

Invention, uses and characteristics

In 1978 two physical therapists approached what was then Hygienic Corporation with an innovative concept. This led to the invention of the original flat bands for physiotherapy and its corresponding progressive opposition system. Today, both the brand and its fitness collection stand out in the sector thanks to the design of trusted products.

Bands have several benefits, including being portable , much lighter than dumbbells, and easy to fold and store in luggage. They can be used to increase the difficulty of typical exercises, such as push-ups, and are a great option for warming up before weightlifting sessions.

As a collection, the bands come in different tiers to facilitate a perfect fit through the use of a color-coded progression system.

Color code and levels of opposition

The bands are classified by color, whose code ranges from beginners to people who practice advanced sports:

• Red and green: for beginners in the gym.
• Blue and black: for people who practice fitness on a daily basis.
• Bronze and yellow: indicated for rehabilitation and the elderly.
• Silver and gold: for advanced training and professional athletes.

If we search, instead, by levels of opposition, we will find:

• Light
• Medium
• Heavy
• X-Heavy

As a tool, it adapts to any physical condition and is perfect for training in the gym, exercising at home, improving agility and movements, or promoting injury recovery in rehab clinics. Through simple but effective workouts, strength level increases, as does flexibility and range of motion.

In addition to flat belts, there are other options, such as:

• VECTOR : is a device that contains a Kevlar rope to reduce the risk of back spring.
• Tubes - These consist of pre-made loops that eliminate the hassle of tying the band in exercises that require a loop.
• Highly Resistant Bands - Facilitate new levels for greater challenge in strength training, advanced rehabilitation, and athletic performance.
• CLX Loop or Bands Shape : An innovative model for professional-grade workouts. Made without latex powder, that is, hypoallergenic. Their special design allows anyone to use them as part of training. (Perfect for those allergic to latex)
