The Only Occupational Therapy Rehab Equipment
That Delivers The Benefits Of Swimming
"Without the Water"
|
Swimming builds a strong flexible body while it boosts circulation, improves endurance, and burns calories. Swimming works by combining easy resistance with multiple repetitions. HeartFlex's patented resistance assembly uses the same principals to produce identical results - without the water.

| Wrist, Arm, and Shoulder Occupational Therapy Rehab Tool |
Now there is one product, The HeartFlex, that effectively strengthens and rehabs wrists, arms, and shoulders. Heartflex creates "consistent resistance" across the complete range of motion (ROM) performed and its technology is so unique that it is protected by 3 US patents.
|
| Builds Wrist, Arm, and Shoulder Strength - FAST |
The HeartFlex OT tool pits flexing muscles against extending muscles so each movement builds both sets of muscles at the same time, cutting workout time in half.
|
| OT Product That Strengthens The Entire Muscle |
HeartFlex's resistance assembly builds muscle strength consistently over the complete range of motion that is performed. Other products, using springs and bands, create inconsistent resistance resulting in muscles that are not able to produce dependable power through their complete range of motion.
|
| HeartFlex Reduces Workers Compensation Claims |
The two most common and costly worker compensation claims stem from complications caused by high blood sugar (pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes) and repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) such as carpal tunnel syndrome. (SEE BELOW)

| HeartFlex Lowers Blood Sugar Levels |
"This device has been used in several classes at The Diabetes Center. It is easy to demonstrate, and patients find it simple to use. It is lightweight and easy to maneuver. It would also travel well. It may be used in a standing or sitting position and can be effective for patients at varying degrees of fitness. We have observed drops in blood sugar from 10 to 60 points after only 5 minutes of activity."

| HeartFlex Performs Carpal Tunnel Prevention Stretches |
Experts believe that a combination of factors cause repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) like carpal tunnel syndrome. Though no singular cause has been isolated, there is consensus that stretching and warming up before activity and at regular intervals throughout the day assists in preventing the onset of RSI disease. HeartFlex is the ideal tool for occupational therapists to use when prescribing targeted exercises to keep their patients limber and alert during the day.
|
| HeartFlex Helps Prevent Cold Muscle Injuries |
Muscles have been compared to taffy. If you stretch taffy when it is cold it breaks and tears, after being warmed up it will bend and stretch without structural damage. Use the HeartFlex occupational therapy aid before strenuous exertion to stretch upper body muscles to their optimum length. Its simple and silent operation is ideal for pre-exertion warm ups and keeping muscles limber during activity pauses.
|
| HeartFlex Helps Prevent Cramping and Stiff Muscle Pain |
HeartFlex ot equipment performs cool downs after rigorous muscle use. It allows the user to slowly decrease activity and eliminate accumulated muscle toxins while incrementally re-establishing pre-exertion physiology.
|
| HeartFlex Speeds Recovery From Related Injuries |
HeartFlex occupational therapy rehab equipment allows "Active Range of Motion Therapy" (AROM) allowing the user to perform maximum joint manipulation through a complete range of motion (ROM) for the most rapid recovery of forearm injuries. Heart Flex creates ONLY "consistent" passive resistance which lessens the chance of "overloading" and reinjuring healing muscles and structures.
|
| HeartFlex OT Equipment Relieves Tension and Stress |
Tension and stress effect patient morale, health, and productivity. Stress may cause depression, headaches, backaches, and lack of concentration. HeartFlexing provides a light exercise that boosts circulation helping to eliminate anxiety and nervous tension.
|
| Compact, Portable, and Affordable OT Tool |
Heart Flex is lightweight (weighs about one half pound) and compact (only 24" long). It is easily transportable for use at work, home, or on the go; anywhere that muscle strength and injury exercises are beneficial. HeartFlex is designed as a personal workout tool and its low price makes it possible for each patient to have their own.
