We recognize that "BlackBerry Thumb" can be an all-too-real affliction but, seriously, if you need something like this therapeutic contraption you've really got to let it go. Literally.

The "Xtensor" claims to be "the first product on the market to perform with true bio-mechanically correctness and treats the direct cause of this pain." That may be so, but to us it looks like a bowling glove combined with those elastic bands that pitchers use for to exercise their rotator cuffs.

In any case, the makers of the Xtensor say it can help rehabilitate habitual gamers as well as CrackBerry addicts. As for us, we'd rather be at the spa.

Think about the concept though, if everything we do with our hands is closing, then this thing could be phenominal.

That is fantastic. I completely agree if you need a contraption like this then you really need to take a step back and reevaluate. But, I can see some other uses for this contraption besides bowling. it looks like a great tool to exercise your hands. I can see where it could really help with your grip. <a href="http://openamf.net">Bowling Balls For Sale</a>
