Resistance Bands

Ligas de Resistencia - SKAL Fisioterapia Integral

Clinical Recovery Tools

The resistance bands we use in physical therapy are different from other bands, as they have a clinical purpose, calibrated resistance, and a progression protocol controlled by your physical therapist.

At SKÁL Fisioterapia Integral, we offer a kit of 4 therapeutic resistance bands, specifically selected for injury rehabilitation, low-impact muscle strengthening, and treatment continuity at home.

What Is Progressive Elastic Resistance Dosing?

In rehabilitation, resistance isn’t applied randomly. Each tension level represents a specific load on the muscle or joint in recovery, moving from one color to the next is a clinical decision.

This principle, known as progressive elastic resistance dosing, is the same one your physical therapist applies during in-clinic sessions. The SKÁL kit lets you take that same therapeutic precision home with you.

What Conditions Is It Indicated For?

SKÁL’s therapeutic exercise bands are indicated for:

  • Rehabilitation of ankle, knee, and wrist sprains.
  • Post-surgery recovery for ligaments or rotator cuff.
  • Conservative treatment of tendinitis and bursitis.
  • Progressive muscle strengthening in older adults.
  • At-home exercise programs prescribed by your physical therapist.

Color and Resistance Level Guide

What Color Should I Use for My Rehabilitation Stage?

Each color in the kit represents an increasing resistance level.

Progression between colors doesn’t depend on time, it depends on your clinical progress, which is why your physical therapist determines when to advance.

  • Red: Light resistance – Initial rehabilitation phase. Gentle muscle activation, joint mobilization, and early proprioceptive work.
  • Green: Medium resistance – Early strengthening phase. Ideal for sprain recovery and early-stage post-surgical rehabilitation.

  • Blue: Strong resistance – Intermediate strengthening phase. Indicated once tissue has gained stability and progressive loading is the goal.

  • Gray: Very strong resistance – Advanced strengthening phase and return to full function. Supervised use or under professional prescription.

Therapeutic Benefits

Injury Recovery: Sprains, Tendinitis, and Post-Surgery

Elastic bands for therapeutic exercise allow you to work supporting muscles without joint impact, making them the go-to tool in early rehabilitation phases. Controlled tension activates tissue without overloading it, safely speeding up functional recovery.

Safe Strengthening for Older Adults

For older adults, resistance bands offer an accessible, adaptable, and effective form of exercise. Working with elastic bands improves muscle strength, balance, and joint stability — key factors in fall prevention and maintaining functional independence.

Continuity of Clinical Treatment from Home

70% of recovery happens outside the clinic. Exercise bands prescribed by your physical therapist help you maintain therapeutic progression between sessions, shorten recovery times, and consolidate the progress made at each clinical visit.
