A MESSAGE FROM DR. ZACHARY, HANDMASTER PLUS DEVELOPER
As a chiropractor and lifelong athlete, I saw a problem that no one else seemed to notice: repetitive gripping was causing preventable hand, wrist, carpal tunnel, and elbow injuries in athletes, musicians, workers, and patients that I treated regularly.
Yet upon digging, I found only incomplete grip-training devices. These tools strengthened only the muscles that closed the hand, while ignoring those muscles that opened it and supported the grip position. This omission was at the root of a wide range of upper-extremity injuries.
While pursuing my dream of a professional golf career in the 1990s, I saw firsthand how widespread these problems were among fellow golfers, both pros and amateurs. I searched everywhere for a comprehensive grip-training solution, but came up empty-handed. So I built one.
Handmaster Plus was born from that journey. Today, Handmaster Plus is used worldwide by athletes, musicians, healthcare professionals, workers, gamers, and anyone who relies on their hands, from post-surgery patients to people living with arthritis.
Now, through a mass of scientific data and published studies, we know that grip strength is also directly correlated with life longevity. Grip can no longer be ignored in health and fitness.
My quest to educate people about proper grip training and its many health & performance benefits remains a joy today.
