I really like this. I got it primarily to stretch out my quadriceps which became very tight on the leg with the total knee replacement. 1-1/2 years post surgery I was still having terrible pain with going down steps, and so was avoiding stairs, and hiking in the hills. I've been using this for about 2 weeks and really pushing the stretch past the point of pain, like a physical therapy Nazi would do. I just returned from a trip to Lake Tahoe where I did a lot of hiking and scrambling around in the rocks and had no problems at all with going down. I was using my walking sticks for protection, but really, no pain!

When I use this put my ankle in one of the last loops, lay on my stomach and pull the ankle toward my butt, holding the other end in my hands with the strap passing over the back of my head. I put it till it has a good stretch, and then I push against it doing an isometric with my quad, then relax and pull it even farther. I do this about 3 times for a total of about 30 seconds. Then I pull it an an angle to each side and stretch that.

The exercise strap and poster were just like the equipment I used in Physical Therapy sessions. I am very pleased with the quality of the strap and the clarity of the poster descriptions.

This strap give me a better stretch than just floor stretching alone, and with the use of the chart the entire body can be stretched.

Helps with people like me who have no flexibility because of not respecting my body when I was younger.Poster is nice too because it gives you more ideas on stretching.

Just what I was looking for to stretch my calves and legs. I have plantar fasciitis and was told to do this. I loved the chart for all the exercises you can do with this strap.
