MOVING EXTREMELY WELL

Handmaster Plus provides a hand exercise (i.e., ‘The Hand Closed Hand Open Exercise‘) that increases grip strength maximally by strengthening all 18 of the hand muscles (i.e., the 9 muscles close the hand, and the 9 that open). The Handmaster Plus ‘Figure 8 Exercise‘ additionally strengthens the 9 grip support muscles (in the wrist and forearm) resulting in an exercises that properly strengthens the 27 muscles of grip – in one exercise! University of Pittsburgh researcher, Zong-Ming Li, determined that maximum grip strength occurs in 35º of wrist extension (see link below), illustrating the important connection between extensor muscle strength and grip strength. Most hand exercise products resist only the 9 closing (flexor) muscles. Handmaster Plus strengthens all motors of grip: 1) the 9 hand closing muscles 2) the 9 hand opening muscles, and 3) the 9 grip support muscles (i.e., wrist & forearm). All Handmaster Plus exercises can be seen here.

Handmaster Plus provides a hand exercise (i.e., ‘The Hand Closed Hand Open Exercise‘) that strengthens the 9 muscles that close the hand as well as the 9 muscles that open the hand, resulting in maximum balance, stability, circulation and nerve stimulation. The result is strong, balanced and elongated hand muscles and a reduced risk of finger, thumb, hand, wrist, carpal tunnel and elbow imbalance. Handmaster Plus has been referred to as “the Pilates of hand exercise.” The hand muscles are very similar to the postural muscles of the spine. All Handmaster Plus exercises can be seen here.

Handmaster Plus provides a hand exercise (i.e., ‘The Hand Closed Hand Open Exercise‘) that resists all 18 hand muscles, allowing the hand to move through full, natural ranges of motion (ROM’s). Complete circulation is only attained when joints are exercised through full, natural 3D ROM’s. Complete circulation ensures maximum oxygen and nutrient supply to joint surfaces and tissues. Traditional hand exercise products resist through only small ROM’s, and usually in one plane (spring loaded, coiled), not in natural, 3D ROM’s.

Yes. An extra cord is included with each product that is slightly smaller than the regular cord assembled. The extra cord accommodates smaller hand sizes and also allows the user to increase resistance, if necessary. PLEASE NOTE that the product will FIT TIGHT by design, to maximize resistance. Perform the exercise and remove. Do not dilly-dally! You will feel blood flow maximize immediately after. Remember to always place thumb loop first when beginning Handmaster Plus exercise and remove thumb loop last when removing. Always use placement tabs to ensure cords are not damaged when placing or removing.

Can you think of any sport where muscle fitness and balance is not a distinct performance advantage? Why would any athlete choose to strengthen 9 of 18 hand muscles when given the option of conveniently strengthen all 18 of them? Weekend athletes and world-class athletes alike currently use the Handmaster Plus to ensure maximum strength, speed, stamina and range of motion (hand, wrist, forearm and elbow) AND to minimize the risk of repetitive gripping RSI’s (repetitive stress/strain injuries) and repetitive motion injuries. Athletes should consider both ‘The Hand Closed Hand Open Exercise‘ to train the 18 hand muscles and ‘The Figure 8 Exercise‘ to train the 27 muscles of grip. All Handmaster Plus exercises can be seen here.

Repetitive gripping and repetitive motions are common in all musical pursuits. When the 9 muscles that close the hand become dominant over the 9 muscles that open the hand, repetitive stress/strain injuries (RSI’s) to the hand, wrist, carpal tunnel and elbow are common. Use of the Handmaster Plus ensures strong, balanced and elongated hand muscles. The result is maximum strength, speed, stretch and stamina for performance and optimum muscle balance and blood flow to reduce the risk of repetitive stress/strain injuries (RSI’s). Musicians must understand the kinetic chain of grip because strength, speed and endurance comes from healthy finger extensor muscles that co-contract to support the gripping flexor muscles. Musicians should consider both ‘The Hand Closed Hand Open Exercise‘ to train the 18 hand muscles and ‘The Figure 8 Exercise‘ to train the 27 grip muscles. All Handmaster Plus exercises can be seen here.

An independent study published in The Asian Journal of Neurosurgery proved Handmaster Plus to be effective in reversing carpal tunnel syndrome.

Please be clear, Handmaster Plus is an exercise device, not a medical device. Your healthcare provider must always decide your complete treatment and recovery protocol. Dr. Zachary observed imbalanced hand exercise in athletes and musicians in the late 1990s due to repetitive gripping and improper use of ‘squeeze-only’ exercise devices. When the 9 muscles that close the hand become dominant over the 9 muscles that open the hand, the structure of the carpal tunnel can collapse. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is common in all repetitive gripping activities. It is the most expensive repetitive stress/strain injury within industry. Handmaster Plus provides an easy, convenient hand exercise that strengthens and balances all 18 muscles of the hand resulting in a strong, stable functional carpal tunnel and maximum circulation to, through, and back from the carpal tunnel.

Please be clear, Handmaster Plus is an exercise device, not a medical device. Your health care provider must always decide your complete treatment and rehabilitation protocol. Dr. Zachary observed imbalanced hand exercise in athletes and musicians in the late 1990’s who repetitively gripped and trained improperly using ‘squeeze-only’ exercise devices. Even healthcare professionals forget that hand muscles attach (in balance) on either side of the elbow. When the 9 muscles that close the hand become dominant over the 9 muscles that open the hand, the elbow itself becomes imbalanced. The main finger extensor tendon attaches at the lateral elbow, while the main finger flexor tendon attaches at the medial elbow. Wrist support muscles also become static & shortened specific to the grip application in question. It is no wonder tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow are prevalent in all repetitive gripping and grasping activities (repetitive stress/strain injuries). Handmaster Plus provides a hand exercise that strengthens and balances all 18 muscles of the hand ensuring optimal blood flow and muscle balance at the elbow. Handmaster also provides a ‘Figure 8 Exercise‘ that allows grip athletes to properly train the 9 hand closing muscles, the 9 hand opening muscles AND the 9 wrist and forearm support muscles… while at the same time strengthening the entire elbow. Handmaster Plus ensures proper and complete hand and grip muscle training and circulation.

Yes, The 3-Minute Stretch can be learned at home using our video course or private Bootcamp. It teaches students to easily stretch all parts of the body daily. Dr. Zachary believes that to move extremely well, all areas of the body must be flexible, healthy & balanced. Stretching the whole body also stimulates healthy circulation and nerve stimulation. Both are vital for your body's innate self-healing and self-maintenance capability.

Several details separate The 3-Minute Stretch from other stretching programs.

Firstly, all stretches (except one) are done in a standing supported weight-bearing position. This is designed specifically for convenience and allows students to easily stretch anytime anywhere.

Secondly, the whole body is stretched, not just small areas. Thus, the body is maintained in a healthy, flexible, and balanced state.

Thirdly, each stretch is held for a short time (3 seconds). Short-duration stretching has been proven effective.

Dr. Zachary found that stretching all body areas regularly for a short duration is very effective for maintaining body balance & flexibility, and it is also realistic to fit into today's busy daily schedules.

Yes, you will require a pole or broomstick for balance and support to begin learning the stretch. Eventually, you will advance and find support anywhere using a wall, desk, chair, etc.
