A therapeutic range-of-motion exercise device is described herein as having a flat rectangular surface board with intersecting grooves routed into the top surface in patterns of, for example, a half circle, a straight line, and a straight line at a 45-degree angle. These patterns may vary from model to model in order to provide the user with progressively difficult patterns to increase rehabilitation benefits. The user places his hand into the hand guide, a flat hand-shaped device with a depression routed into the top surface for comfort, and a double set of hook and loop straps to secure the hand to the guide. A capped bolt protruding from the bottom of the guide slides into the grooves in the top surface of the board and the user pushes the handguide along these grooves, enabling him to stretch and rotate the arm and shoulder in a full range of motion. The range-of-motion board will accommodate the right or left arm of the patient.
