OPTP The Original Stretch Out Strap with Exercise Poster, USA Made Top Choice Stretch Out Straps for Physical Therapy, Yoga Stretching Strap or Knee Therapy Strap

I really like this product. It’s simple to use and comes with instructions on its use. Very portable - I took it on a recent trip and was able to continue with my physical therapy routine. The loops really help to hold the positions outlined in the instructions. I’ve learned a lot of new stretching strategies and most importantly how to use this product effectively. The Strechout Strap has helped me be consistent and I’m confident it’s helped me recover in a manner that’s safe and effective. I recommend this product to help you recover. The important thing is - you must use it consistently and be patient. Don’t rush or cut the stretch short. Be sure you read the instructions to use it safely and be effective.

I tore my ACL in 2019 and the rehabilitation process is time consuming and grueling as you get up there in age. Physical therapy is absolutely crucial and it was something I couldn’t take shortcuts on.Unfortunately due to covid, most PT places had shut down, but I still needed to rehab because of course... my joints and appendages are pretty important!So of course I could stretch on my own, but I remembered this green strap from my PT sessions that assisted my stretching in ways that I just couldn’t do by myself. Stretching is essential before working out, but because of my musculoskeletal issues in the past, I need to stretch every morning or my knees get incredibly stiff and almost feel wobbly.So I went on amazon to purchase this strap, and I’m so incredibly grateful I did. I can now maintain all of the stretches my physical therapist taught me in our sessions, and my workouts/day to day activities have already improved soooo much. And in terms of durability, my PT, who has a very busy office in the middle of Manhattan spoke glowingly.If it’s good enough for professionals, and works for me, I’d recommend it to anyone.

we use every morning and every night and stretch legs and hands , make body so relax and good stretch ,many function for whole body .

The product is very sturdy & excellent for those with Arthritis. I've used them for more than 4 years now with my Yoga students, for Personal Training & teaching my Exercise groups with great comments.A regular Yoga strap from other companies, without the loops is hard to use without wrapping it around your hands & this can cut off circulation in students & clients. If there is a buckle on the end it can hit students faces.My only complaint is that as an instructor ordering several at a time over the years, it would be nice to receive a discount.

My physical therapist recommended this product. It did not disappoint! It was well made and packaged, and the poster of different stretches was clear and easy to understand.

I have arthritic knees. Ten years ago I had Regenexx stem cell replacement (my own stem cells) in my left knee and got 100% pain relief, even to this day. However, the stiffness of age has crept into both knees. Walking was with a limp. When I stood or got out of the car, it took more than a few seconds to walk, due to the stiffness. I took stairs one step at a time. It was embarrassing when I stood and couldn't walk for 5 - 10 seconds. The first time I used the strap, I made it through the first column of exercises and the quad stretches. The difference was dramatic. My limp was gone and I was actually able to normally walk up a small flight of stairs (with a handrail.) My legs felt so much better. I though I was dreaming. Now a week and a half later, I honestly can't believe the difference. I am walking normally, without the limp. I can actually do a small squat. It is dramatically easier for me to rise from a seated position and I find it easier to get up off of the floor. Where has this been my entire life? Why did no physical therapist ever recommend this?Now, what you as a reader need to know. The stretches are not easy. You will have to concentrate on each stretch and position yourself to isolate the muscles. I still have trouble with the low back exercises, but am not worried as I have never had any low back pain. It does get easier as you get into a routine and do them every day. In the beginning I split the the stretches, doing half at a time. It now takes me at least a total of 90 minutes, to complete them all correctly. After about 30 minutes I start to feel concentration fatigue and have to work hard to keep focused.My knees feel the best they have felt in years. I am moving better than I have moved in years. I am bone-on-bone in both knees and the stiffness is about 80% better. I am walking as soon as I stand up with maybe a second or two delay. I am overall moving more, probably because it is easier. I am still working on the stairs, but most of the time I can alternate feet as I climb them.My only recommendation to OPTP is to put these exercises in a small flip book with slightly larger print. I had to take pictures of each exercise on my phone to use when traveling, as the poster is not suitcase friendly.Overall, I highly, highly recommend.

This stretch out strap is great! I used this in my PT and it really helped the stretch. It’s sturdy, durable, made very well and the loops are large enough for big feet and hands. It comes with a laminated poster to show you how to properly stretch your muscles with different poses. I would highly recommend this!

Easy delivery. Great product. Really works if used correctly.
