Yes, Tynor Exercising Ball (Neuro/Ortho) is soft and has a spongy texture. It is made from high-density polyurethane (PU) foam, not gel. The PU foam provides gentle resistance when squeezed, making it comfortable for hand exercises without putting excessive strain on your hand. It is commonly used for grip strengthening, rehabilitation after hand or wrist injuries, neurological recovery, physical therapy, and stress relief. The ball is also designed to retain its shape with regular use while providing consistent resistance for therapeutic exercises.
