A method of exercise or manipulative therapy is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a first mass of putty, introducing an additive to the first mass of putty, and physically manipulating the first mass with the additive in order to create a combined mass. The combined mass exhibits a noticeable change in stiffness relative to the first mass, yet retains substantially the same weight and color of the first mass. Additionally disclosed is a kit for providing manipulative therapy of varying difficulty to a user. The kit includes a first mass of putty and an additive, which is initially separate from the first mass. If the additive is combined with the first mass, a combined mass is created. The combined mass exhibits a noticeable change in stiffness relative to the first mass, yet retains substantially the same weight and color of the first mass.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of exercise or manipulative therapy comprising the steps of: a. obtaining a mass of putty comprising a reaction product of a polysiloxane and either a boron-or tin-containing compound, said mass of putty having a first stiffness; b. introducing to said mass of putty
What is claimed is: 1. A method of exercise or manipulative therapy comprising the steps of: a. obtaining a mass of putty comprising a reaction product of a polysiloxane and either a boron-or tin-containing compound, said mass of putty having a first stiffness; b. introducing to said mass of putty a hardening paste comprising a hydroxide selected from the group consisting of zinc hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide and combinations thereof, said hardening paste having a stiffness that is less than said first stiffness; c. physically manipulating said mass of putty with said hardening paste to create a combined mass having a stiffness that exceeds said first stiffness; and d. physically manipulating said combined mass, thereby accomplishing said exercise or manipulative therapy. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein said stiffness of said combined mass is achieved through interaction of said hydroxide with said mass of putty, said interaction causing an alteration of relative proportions of hydrophilic and hydrophobic components of said mass of putty. 3. The method of claim 2 wherein a time lapse exists between formation of said combined mass and fully achieving the maximum potential degree of stiffness possible with the amount of hardening paste present in said combined mass, said time lapse being dependent on the rate of said alteration of relative proportions of hydrophilic and hydrophobic components of said mass of putty. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein said stiffness of said combined mass exceeds said first stiffness by 3-7×10-2 mm as measured on a Williams plastometer, when said hardening paste is 0.1% of the weight of said mass of putty. 5. An exercise putty kit for providing manipulative therapy of varying difficulty to a user, comprising: a. a mass of putty comprising a reaction product of a polysiloxane and either a boron-or tin-containing compound, said mass of putty having a first stiffness; b. a packet of softening paste comprising a compound selected from the group consisting of 9-octadecenoic acid, C17 monounsaturated fatty acid, C18 monounsaturated fatty acid and combinations thereof; and c. a packet of hardening paste comprising a compound selected from the group consisting of zinc hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide and combinations thereof, said hardening paste having a stiffness that is less than said first stiffness. 6. The kit of claim 5, said softening paste further comprising a filler, said hardening paste further comprising a liquid compounding agent. 7. The kit of claim 6, wherein said filler is selected from the group consisting of famed silica, precipitated cilica, celite, ground quartz and combinations thereof. 8. The kit of claim 6, wherein said liquid compounding agent is selected from the group consisting of silicone-based polydiorganosiloxane gum, silicone-based polydiorganosiloxane fluid, hydrocarbon-based mineral oil, petrolatum and combinations thereof. 9. The kit of claim 5, wherein said packet of softening paste contains an amount of softening paste between 0.05% to 5% of the total weight of said mass of putty. 10. The kit of claim 5, wherein said packet of hardening paste contains an amount of hardening paste between 0.05% to 5% of the total weight of said mass of putty. 11. A method of exercise or manipulative therapy comprising the steps of: a. obtaining a mass of putty containing a reaction product of a polysiloxane and either a boron-or tin-containing compound; b. introducing a stiffness-adjusting paste to said mass of putty, said stiffness-adjusting paste having a lesser stiffness than said mass of putty; c. physically manipulating said mass of putty with said stiffness-adjusting paste to create a combined mass which exhibits a change in stiffness relative to said mass of putty of between 3-7×10-2 mm as measured on a Williams plastometer, when said stiffness-adjusting paste is 0.1% of the weight of said mass of putty; and d. physically manipulating said combined mass, thereby accomplishing said exercise or manipulative therapy. 12. The method of exercise or manipulative therapy of claim 11, said stiffness-adjusting paste being a hardening agent comprising a metal hydroxide salt and a liquid compounding agent. 13. The method of exercise or manipulative therapy of claim 12, said metal hydroxide salt being selected from the group consisting of zinc hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide and combinations thereof, said liquid compounding agent being selected from the group consisting of silicone-based polydiorganosiloxane gum, silicone-based polydiorganosiloxane fluid, hydrocarbon-based mineral oil, petrolatum and combinations thereof. 14. The method of exercise or manipulative therapy of claim 11, said stiffness-adjusting paste being a softening agent comprising a filler and a compound selected from the group consisting of 9-octadecenoic acid, C17 monounsaturated fatty acid, C18 monounsaturated fatty acid and combinations thereof. 15. The method of exercise or manipulative therapy of claim 14, said filler being selected from the group consisting of fumed silica, precipitated cilica, celite, ground quartz and combinations thereof.
