Abstract: The historical, traditional flat towel has never been changed in the technical sense. The Therapeutic Pocket Towel combines the ability of absorbent fabric to technically cling to the hands with the combination of gentle pressure, gravity and tension. The entire towel line of products are utilitarian in design. Each pocket is sized and constructed specifically to allow the user's hands to easily slip into the fabric or material where seams create a pocket/glove-like controlling agent. The hands will easily slip out as easily as they slip in by gravity or gentle pressure. When your hands are in the pockets it feels natural to spread your fingers apart which instantly gives you real control over the flexible fabric. This utility does not keep a person from closing the hand. The natural urge to curl the fingers is not obstructed. This gives the users the choice to open the hand or close the hand to have the benefit of control and efficiency.
