Instructions for configuring your Xtensor

Why The Xtensor

The Xtensor places tension on the hands in the reverse motion to counter the effects of the
repetitive gripping and squeezing performed during daily activities and can help reduce
painful symptoms of tendonitis and stiffness in the wrists and elbows.

Comfort Pads

Each Xtensor comes with two comfort pads; place one on the underside of the Xtensor
Logo Pad. The 2nd comfort pad can be placed toward the top of the palm piece Smaller
hands will require a third pad doubled up on one of the other two.

Finger Band Instructions

1. Pre Stretch fingerbands prior to 1st use for best results, this will make sure the tail of

the band does not pull through the attachment point on the palm piece during use and
help to prevent premature breakage.

2. Select Finger Bands most comfortable for your finger tips and configure them into
position 1 of your Xtensor.

3. With your thumb hold the tail of each finger band stretching the fingerband from the
ring. Stretch each fingerband several times until it stretches 4-5 times its original length.

Tension Levels
Position 1: This is the standard position for most users.
Position 2: For advanced users and should be gradually increased one finger at a time

beginning with the larger fingers first.
Position 3: Specifically for quick; partial ranges of motion only. Designed to replicate
guitar/piano playing or computer use.
