A Gentle Starting Point for Hand Therapy
Starting a hand therapy program with too much resistance can do more harm than good, especially for hands that are still recovering. McKesson Therapy Putty in X-Soft resistance is designed to give hands, fingers, and forearms a gentle, controllable material to squeeze, stretch, pinch, and roll through, without overloading muscles or joints that aren't ready for more.
Made from high-quality silicone polymer, the putty is non-toxic and unscented, so it's comfortable to work with during longer therapy sessions. This 2 oz. container comes in the X-Soft resistance level, color-coded in yellow for easy identification alongside other resistance levels if building out a full exercise progression.
Key Features
- Great for grip strength exercises
- Made with high-quality silicone polymer
- Gluten-, latex-, nut-, egg-, and soy-free
- Non-toxic and unscented
- Color-coded by resistance level for additional convenience
- Not made with natural rubber latex
X-Soft sits at the gentler end of the resistance range, one step below Soft. It's often the appropriate starting point immediately following surgery, an acute injury, or for anyone with significant hand weakness where even Soft putty would be too demanding early on. As grip strength improves, progressing to Soft and then firmer levels keeps the exercise appropriately challenging. A physical or occupational therapist can help determine the right starting resistance and progression timeline for a specific recovery situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who should use X-Soft resistance?
X-Soft is typically appropriate for early-stage recovery, post-surgical hand therapy, or anyone with significant hand weakness who needs a gentler starting point than Soft resistance.
What exercises can I do with therapy putty?
Common exercises include squeezing, stretching, twisting, pinching, and rolling the putty between fingers, which help build grip strength, dexterity, and fine motor control.
Is this putty safe for people with allergies?
The putty is gluten-, latex-, nut-, egg-, and soy-free, making it a suitable option for many common sensitivities. Check with a healthcare provider if you have a specific allergy concern.
When should I move up to a firmer resistance?
If the putty starts to feel too easy to stretch or squeeze through a full exercise session, it may be time to progress to Soft or a firmer resistance level. A physical or occupational therapist can help guide the right progression for your specific goals.
