ProStretch StretchRite, Physical Therapy Stretching Strap with Grip Handles for Sore and Tight Muscles, Includes Coaching Guide, Blue/White

I first used this product at physical therapy after tearing a few ligaments in my ankle - and I love it. I'm a runner with terrible flexibility and after 3 months of PT and using this product both at therapy and at home I can touch my toes for the first time since I was a small child. The simple genius of this strap is the "beads" that run along the ends. To get a really good stretch - the kind that hurts a little and will actually increase your range of motion - requires quite a bit of force. In the past I've used yoga style stretching straps and a rope product that I thought were fine, but I didn't realize how poor they were until I used this product. The beads on this strap not only allow you to get a really good grip on the rope that won't slide as you pull into the stretch but they also are a great way to measure your progress (e.g. yesterday I was on the second bead for my hamstring stretch today I'm going to see if I can do it using the third bead). I have to say if I hadn't first used this product at PT I don't think I would have paid this much for a stretching product but since I had used it first and knew what a great product it is I had no reservations about the price. The product is incredibly study and well made. At PT these straps are used all day long and seem no worse for the wear.

Great equipment to help in a total knee replacement recovery! The site I am going to for PT uses this equipment.

Excelente

This is exactly what I was looking for, and it's the only one out there. I searched Amazon and Google and this was the only one of it's kind. It works great, but, I took away one star for the price, it could have been a little cheaper. Other than that.... I highly recommend this product.

Just like the ones at PT

The place that I go for Physical Therapy uses this strap. I love it because of the plastic pieces. I can easily hold onto them. They don't cut into my hand like other straps do. I also like the fact that there are the looped ends of strapping - because some of my therapy includes putting much of the strap through one of the ends to make a different loop, and then sliding that loop over my leg and then tightening it so I can pull my ankle back while lying on my back on my bed with my leg dangling over the side. Someone who knew the needs of physical therapy certainly was involved with how this was made! Also, at PT, multiple people use these every day - so they obviously are made well enough to last a long time.

I bought the Medi-Dyne StretchRite for my wife who HAD plantar fasciitis. She follows the instructions in the user's guide and has been stretching every morning for around 2 months. Despite the fact that she jogs every day and does not have any other treatments nor visit the doctor, the plantar fasciitis is now gone. The product is strong and very well designed. At first I thought a belt would do the job but finally decided to purchase the StretchRite. It works great. The handle knobs are easy to hold and your hands will not get hurt when stretching. This is a purpose-built tool and worth the money.

Great and very useful for stretching,.. would had given it a better rating but the one I had before I lost it years ago, had bigger Knobs to hold on to.

If you have plantar fasciitis, this could change your life. It's probably good for anything ham-string related, too.

Excellent

Used this in Physio therapy. I was so excited to find the exact one on amazon. Ty for carrying this item. Helps my leg immensely

Great product. Innovative design. The tendinitis affects of my osteoarthritic knees are nicely remedied by building my hamstrings on the stationary bike followed by stretches as shown. Strap is easy to pull with my sore arthritic hands because the plastic grab bars are comfortable to hold as opposed to wrapping a strap around my hands or wrists to pull.

I have ms so it helps me strech my calf muscles
