Yes! As our muscles get tighter, our body wants to pull down and forward, causing our shoulders to round forward and our body sink toward the ground. What we are doing through stretching is elongating all of those muscles that place pressure on all of our joints, which in turn causes less spacing in our joints and creates friction. In essence, we are allowing more room in the joint which in turn elongates and straightens our body.
Absolutely. Through my 17 years of stretching people on a daily basis, I have worked with numerous individuals with Parkinson’s. In my opinion, the TStretch strap is the best alternative to helping an individual stretch. It allows you to isolate muscles that you just can’t usually do on your own.
Yes it can. I will always tell you to consult with your physician first, but a stretching program can help ease pain and battle against joint stiffness. The handles on the strap comfortably allows you to use your arms to pull on the strap if you have a difficult time grasping things with your hands.
Yes. Vasoconstriction is a term used to describe the narrowing of a blood vessel due to the tightening of the surrounding muscle. When a person stretches properly and allows the muscle to relax, the muscle can release the proverbial choke hold it has on the blood vessels, allowing for better circulation of blood and oxygen.
I have been a flexibility specialist for nearly 20 years and I wanted to design a tool that could simulate more of what I do with my clients. The patent pending design creates better leverage for each stretch. It also has given us the ability to do stretches that can really isolate muscles that have been hard to stretch in the past. Plus, it won’t slip off!
The strap is made of heavyweight polypropylene which is a very strong material that has a recommended working load of 650 pounds.
Yes. Although the strap is moisture, mildew, and rot resistant, you can actually put the strap in the washing machine to clean it. I also typically wipe it off after I use it. Oh, and by the way it is also UV resistant as well! So use it outside too.
I don’t recommend it. The strap will begin to melt at 330 degrees.
