“The Knotty SaXX subtly add weight to my arm exercises and contributes to my hand/arm strength, dexterity and overall range of motion. It also helps me with better balance and straighter posture”

"The Knotty SaXX helped inform alignment, encourage gentle strengthening, and build more body awareness of where the arms are in space and relation to my center."

“The Knotty SaXX helps activate more muscles in my arms.  The compact size makes it easier to maneuver with them.”

“Holding the Knotty SaXX in my hands has benefited my physical training.  Having a weight at the ends of my arms helps me feel the definition of how my arms take up space.

I find tracking my eye to the SaXX has been easier than tracking my eye to my hand. Connecting my eye to the end of my hands in this way gives me a sense of presence.  Using the Knotty SaXX helps me become embodied.  It’s fun. 

The SaXX balances well on the top of the head and they are quite 

comfortable in size, texture and weight to have on top of the head.  Practicing structured arm movements like classical dance port de bra with the Knotty SaXX on the head helps with presence, grace and nobility.  

No matter (the) disability, don’t we all deserve to feel these things?  I have so much fun exploring these things with the help of the Knotty SaXX!

A special use that my friend with cerebral palsy and I, a spinal cord injured paraplegic, (both over 50), have for the SaXX is using the added weight in our hands to assist momentum when spinning on our spinning stools.  We are having the best time with our teacher and our new tool, a pair of Knotty SaXX.”
