Heritage & History
TheraBand was introduced in 1976 by the Hygenic Corporation in Akron, Ohio, creating the color-coded latex resistance band system that became the standard in physical therapy clinics and rehabilitation programs worldwide. The bands' color coding — yellow (lightest) through gold (heaviest) — provided a universally understood progression system that let therapists and patients track resistance levels consistently.
Over nearly five decades, TheraBand expanded the product line under Performance Health while maintaining Akron, Ohio manufacturing. The brand's research base includes over 1,000 peer-reviewed clinical studies, making TheraBand resistance bands among the most clinically validated exercise products in existence. When physical therapists prescribe resistance training, TheraBand is the default specification.
Made in Akron, Ohio
TheraBand manufactures resistance bands, loops, and exercise systems at facilities in Akron, Ohio. The latex resistance bands come in 6-yard and 25-yard and 50-yard rolls in the standard color-coded progression, providing the foundation for upper and lower extremity rehabilitation, strength training, and flexibility work. The non-latex bands use the same color coding for patients with latex sensitivities.
The TheraBand CLX (Consecutive Loop Exercise) system adds integrated loops along the band's length, enabling more complex exercises and better hand and foot attachment for functional movement patterns. The resistance loops provide a compact, portable alternative to long bands for hip, glute, and lower extremity strengthening. All products are made in Ohio, covered by TheraBand's professional-grade quality standards, and backed by clinical evidence that no imported alternative can match.
