Ideal Stretch Hamstring Stretching Device with DVD

Product Description

STRETCHING Don’t OVER DO IT! Harder and faster will not get the results you want. The goal is to gain flexibility without causing injury. The correct way to stretch is in small increments. Be sure your leg muscles are warmed up before stretching. If you push yourself too far too fast, you risk serious injury. THE PASSIVE, STATIC STRETCH Lie flat on the floor. With one knee bent, lift the other leg and put the stretcher in position. Straighten the leg first and then pull it towards the torso, gently and slowly. When you feen the hamstring tighten, or when you reach your current range of motion, stop and hold this position for 10 to 30 seconds. Switch from one leg to the other 3 to 5 times. THE ISOMETRIC STRETCH The three basic steps to isometric stretching are: • actively lengthen the target muscle • isometrically contract the target muscle • actively lengthen the target muscle again. A muscle is more relaxed and able to lengthen after a strong isometric contraction. This readiness to lengthen is the result of the inverse stretch reflex. When one muscle contracts, the opposing muscle relaxes because of neurological inhibition, thereby allowing movement to occur around a joint.

Great Hamstring Stretcher… This is an awesome hamstring stretcher! It also does a good job on stretching everything from the butt to the bottom of the feet. I just didn’t realize how inflexible I was. I definitely recommend this!Update 1/5/2017… I have been using this stretcher for about a week and a half now. I do 3 to 5 stretches per leg per day holding each one for 30 seconds or so. I have added about 5 inches to my stretch when bending over and touching toes. Before, I couldn’t touch my toes…

A very cool tool! As a younger personal trainer I used to scoff at any of these stretcher-type items, figuring that there are all kinds of ways to stretch problem areas of the body without a gadget like this. But now I’m older and deal with older clients, including myself. Many times people just need a little help getting to the point where they can get past the initial stiffness and adhesions so they can stretch without an aid like this device. This is a powerful tool to help anyone get a good stretch from the…

Unbelievable stretch; needs better handle design I’ve had spinal cord injury for over 20 years, failed back surgery 13 years ago, and now a lumbar fusion 6 months ago. Keeping my hamstrings/legs/glutes stretched is the single most effective remedy for pain relief. I’ve tried every method under the sun to work on my hamstrings – which tighten up within 10-12 hours. Quite simply said, this is the most effective method that really concentrates on pure hamstring. Nothing else even comes close – not even a stretching strap. This forces you to…
