How to Choose the Right Resistance Band for Your Recovery

Resistance bands are versatile tools for rehabilitation and strength training. But with so many options available, how do you choose the right one?

Understanding Resistance Levels

Resistance bands come in different thicknesses, typically colour-coded: light (yellow/green), medium (red/blue), and heavy (black/purple). Light bands are ideal for shoulder rehab, while heavier bands suit lower body exercises.

Types of Resistance Bands

Loop bands are great for lower body and hip exercises. Therapy bands (flat strips) work well for upper body rehabilitation. Tube bands with handles mimic gym equipment movements.

Safety Tips

Always inspect bands for tears before use. Avoid wearing loose jewellery that could snag the band. Start with lighter resistance and progress gradually.
