A MESSAGE FROM DR. ZACHARY, HANDMASTER PLUS DEVELOPER

As a chiropractor and lifelong athlete, I saw a problem that no one else noticed: repetitive gripping was causing preventable hand, wrist, carpal tunnel, and elbow injuries in athletes, musicians, workers, and patients that I treated regularly.

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 is the root cause of most distal 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. 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 else 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 cardiovascular health, mental health, and life longevity. Grip can no longer be ignored as a health and fitness priority.

My quest to educate people about proper grip training and its many health & performance benefits remains a joy today.
