OPTP
Improper or insufficient stretching frequently leads to muscle soreness, stiffness, inflexibility, and unneces- sary injury. Partner-assisted stretching increases the intensity of a stretch; however, a partner isn’t always available. The solution? The patented Stretch Out Strap delivers all the benefits of assisted stretching, without the need for a partner. Multiple loops permit deep, gradual stretching of major muscle groups safely, effectively, and with control. Straps come complete with the newly revised Stretching Guide, featuring new color photos, anatomical illustrations, and over 30 stretches emphasizing contract-relax techniques. Contact: 800-367-7393,
