The Stretch Loop TM A New Portable Leg Stretcher Slide Show

The Problem To Be Solved:

Most sports, as well as the martial arts, dancing studios, gyms, etc., require leg stretching as a preliminary exercise to warm up the body and generate flexibility, which also helps to reduce injuries and strains on the body. Stretching also serves to increase and maintain flexibility in the joints and is an important tool in physical therapy when a person is recovering from an accident.

Current conventional methods include floor stretching, partner stretching, using chairs, rails, etc. However, these methods all require the body to conform to whatever surface or location is selected to perform the particular stretch. As a result, most people find these ways of stretching to be rather restrictive and awkward.

Existing stretching equipment is complex, since even simple devices include numerous parts and require intricate assembly or installation. Some of the stretching machines available in the market are designed for horizontal positioning and enables the user to do just one stretch. They are also big, heavy, hard to store, and very expensive.

These machines can be very uncomfortable in particular on the knees since they may apply too much pressure on them resulting in knee joint pressure and potential injury. Some may release too fast snapping back the legs and causing injury to a stretched muscle.

Other stretching machines and devices may be smaller and cheaper but they still offer only limited stretching benefits in comparison to all the ones offered by The Stretch Loop^TM.

The Stretch Loop^TM

The Stretch Loop^TM is a portable leg stretching device which is easy to use, is affordable, and enables the user to perform a large variety of stretches at home or at a training facility.

The Stretch Loop^TM has a specially designed bracket that attaches to the top of a door frame, and utilizes a pulley system with a cord attached to a leg sling to facilitate stretching exercises. The special door casing bracket fits most 4 1/2" door jambs which is quick and easy to install on any standard door way without screws or hooks. This feature allows users to take The Stretch Loop^TM anywhere they go. Yet it can also be permanently affixed to the ceiling.

The Stretch Loop^TM comes with a program of eight [8] different stretches for each leg, which will loosen and stretch all of the lower body including the thighs (all around), hamstring, calves, buttocks, hips, feet, and even parts of the back.

Stretches are performed in a standing position which helps users breath with ease while stretching, by increasing the oxygen intake for a better stretch. And while it looks like pulling the cord causes the stretching, it's the leaning which does the stretching, not the actual pulling of the cord, since the hands hold only a fraction of the weight of the leg while stretching.

Users are in control of stretching their limits by raising their foot to a still comfortable position and, then, doing the stretching part just by leaning forward or backwards depending on which stretch they're doing, while the body weight provides the resistance needed for the stretch. This is what makes the Stretch Loop^TM a safer, more controllable, and more gentle device for stretching. The Stretch Loop^TM is so gentle that users can actually enjoy the benefits of relaxing and releasing stress while stretching their muscles.

The Stretch Loop^TM adjusts to the users needs no matter how flexible they are. Beginners can start slowly and safe. Experts who can do "the split" can push their limits even further.

It can be used by any individual who likes to stretch just for the benefit of increasing his/her flexibility and releasing stress. It increases leg performance after stretching and may also prevent over-extension injuries. In addition, it improves your balance and flexibility with time and use.
