THERABAND Stretch Strap with Loops to Increase Flexibility, Dynamic Stretching Tool for Athletes Including Dancers, Cheerleaders, Gymnasts, Runners, Pilates and Yoga Elastic Stretch Out Band

I bought the Thera-Band Stretch Strap from Big Fly Sports and fulfilled by Amazon for $17.22. I see now just days later it is $14.98! I still feel positive about the product and the vendor but do wish that Amazon had some sort of price match so that if the price lowers within 48 hours of purchase or something the customer could get the difference refunded. I seem to buy a lot of products that are sold by Big Fly Sports directly and some (like this one) that was fulfilled by Amazon. Each time the product has arrived quickly and appropriately packaged. Product Review I have posted three pictures of it so you can see a close-up of the entire strap as it was when just taken out of the package, an extreme closeup with a quarter propped against it to give you an idea of how thick the strap is, and the third of the fold-up paper instructions so you know what to expect in that regard. I am no stretch strap pro but saw one at the gym and decided to get one for home to help with muscle soreness. Loops: The strap at the gym didn't have the loops and the Thera-band does. I like the loops since I can catch my fingers or toes in them and don't have to worry about slippage. The straight strap at the gym has to be wrapped around the hand or foot and I worried it might slip which doesn't allow me to relax As well into the stretching process. Sturdy: The product is a lot sturdier than I expected. It has just the right amount of thickness and stretch to make it easy to hold and provide good resistance. It is well-sewn and appears that it should last many years. Stretch: The slight stretch/give of the strap allows me to get just the right amount of tension on my muscle. The the band contracts as I slowly release it thereby allowing my muscle to return to a normal position before release. Instructions: I didn't exactly expect a permanent wall hanging worthy poster but also didn't expect a small fold-up style instruction phamplet. I will take it to a copy place and have it enlarged and put on sturdier paper while I get used to using it for instruction. There seems to be enough instructions to take care of my needs. They do refer the user to their website for additional instructions. Here are the ones covered in the included instructions: upper trapezius, shoulder/triceps internal rotation, wrist flexors, pectoralis major, shoulder external rotation, great toe stretch, gastroc, soleus, it band, hip flexors, rectus femoris, hip external rotation, piriformis, lower back/glute, hamstrings. Numbers: The instructions say the numbers are so that clinicians can provide "clear, accurate instructions" and to "set goals for patients".

I have these at home but needed an additional one since mine is made of a material that doesn’t stretch very much even though is made by the same company. These are quite stretchy haven’t used them as of yet, we will see how they hold up.

I just got this today and I had to write a review. I get bad headaches from stress. My shoulders scrunch up toward my shoulders when I sleep. When I wake up, I have intense head and neck pain. This strap is perfect for stretching out the tightness. I tried using exercise bands, but it was hard to find the right length and tension.This strap is super versatile because it stretches. I use it for my shoulders, but I plan on using it for my back and legs. Having been physically unable to exercise much for a while now (CFS), this will be great to keep everything loose and to help with stiffness. Also, it is very well made and comes with an instruction sheet showing how to stretch each muscle, which I think is very helpful. I highly recommend this product!

Many uses, glad it was suggested to me.

This by far the best theraband product that I have ever used. I have major injuries to my neck and spine & this Thera-Band allows me to stay strong without injuring myself. You can use it sitting, standing or laying down. It's great for older or disabled people as well, who can only do chair exercises. The fact that it has handles all the way down allows me to do so many more stretches & exercises. It is also color coded right on each handle, to match the color coded elastics that are used in physical therapy. It comes with an easy to follow guide, with photos, that shows you the proper way to do each movement. Always check with your Dr. before starting exercise. I highly recommend this product

I purchased a similar product made by another manufacturer several years ago but I did not use it much. I finally lost that other product somewhere inside my home. What makes the Thera-Band strap different is that it has a limited amount of STRETCH to it. The stretch provides an important added dimension which makes it more pleasant to use. It seems to be well-made. I like the black color. It feels like corduroy, but, of course, corduroy does not stretch like this. In time, I'll see how durable it is.

I was a bit hesitant when ordering this item, but based on other reviews I ordered it to aid me with stretches I was shown by my PT and Chiropractor. I am more than satisfied w my purchase. I like the many slots that allow u to adjust the tension. It is made w a durable material that, I first thought didn't stretch, but after seeing the exercises in the included wrkout pamphlet found it to be a stretch band. The slots are numbered 1-4, indicating the level of tension. I've been working w it to stretch my hamstrings and it works great.

I highly recommend the stretching strap. It is heady-duty and the elastic version is definitely the way to go!
