Placement Option 2
This configuration is used to stretch the quadricep. It features the foot inserted in the opening, and the hook and loop strap around the ankle.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The product is fairly simple - you put on the device by fitting your heel into the hole and securing with a velcro strap (which seems like it can fit almost any size ankle/calf). Then you use the straps to pull your leg and foot in different directions to stretch the muscles in your feet and legs. I like that the strap comes with many hand grips, so I can go as deep into the stretch as I want. I like that the bottom part is long and pulls your toes into a foot stretch. I wear a size 7.5 women's street shoe, and the bottom of the foot part is much much longer than my foot. I almost think they could make this in a smaller size for those of us with smaller feet.
The package came with basic pictoral instructions on the back of the plastic package (so don't throw away!) - how to put on the device, and 6 or so basic stretches. I wish it came with more since I can see this helping with a wide range of muscle groups in the legs and feet, and maybe even being able to be used for certain arm stretches.
In any case, this has helped me obtain a much deeper stretch than I am capable of without it (and my leg muscles are pretty flexible to begin with). For example, when you lie on your back and stretch one leg straight to the ceiling, I have a hard time keeping my knee straight to get the right stretch. This product allows me to hold the strap at a comfortable level so that I am getting a good stretch while my knee is only slightly bent. Also I like being able to pull the leg to one side to get a deep inner thigh stretch. In short, I think it is already helping my plantar fasciitis even after only a few short sessions (and not everyday), and it definitely helped me be able to walk the day after roller skating. I was in so much pain, but stretching with this band really helped to loosen up the muscles and reduce the muscle pain. I think it is designed with all the different grips to make stretching more accessible to those older folk who have trouble getting a good stretch otherwise.

It really is just some nylon webbing with a foot piece. She did find it useful but I did not like it. I found the hole in the foot piece for your heel very uncomfortable and it would have been better had they left the foot piece solid. It should have been priced at $20-$30. I think there are better alternatives out there.
