Invented to solve a grandmother's pain

Our founder Téa Phillips invented the MetaFlex glove while she was earning her engineering degree as a way to help her grandmother manage arthritis.

Phillips said, "She was in pain. Asking people to help her do basic things like opening bottles because her hands hurt so badly, and her strength was so low that she couldn't do it herself. Her biggest complaint though was that her hands would curl up into a fist as she slept."

"I knew there had to be a solution."

To create MetaFlex, Phillips combined the three top therapies to reduce pain and improve mobility. Compression, finger stretching, and grip strengthening.

How It Works

The Original MetaFlex Glove

The original gloves were the first design. Created with gentle compression and light-weight resistance bands for gentle stretching and strengthening.

This light-weight resistance helps people like Téa's grandmother who have lower grip strength to easily build strength with movement, and gently stretch their fingers.

The Pro Version

This version came next, after some users of MetaFlex expressed a need for stronger resistance bands for stretching and strengthening.

The Pro has 2x stronger resistance bands to help people with higher grip strength or tighter hands (ex. mild spasticity).
