How long do Therabands last?
This depends (Don’t you love definite answers?). With proper care and use, resistive bands and tubing can last for a very long time. When kept in a cool, dark environment, the bands and tubing “keep” for years. Exposure to temperature extremes, chlorine, and sunlight, however, decrease their “shelf-life.” How you use the Therabands also makes a difference. Although Therabands have been tested at over 10,000 repetitions without any breakage, they are subject to normal wear and tear. Bands and tubing that are heavily used – for instance, in a physical therapy clinic – might need to be replaced every 1-2 months.
