  • Patent number: 6368255
    Abstract: An inexpensive, compact and portable device useful for assisting a person to stretch his/her muscles. The device consists of a flexible, inelastic strap having a plurality of large loops disposed along the length of the strap and attached thereto. The loops, preferably of 1-2 inch hemp webbing, are dimensioned to fit over large portions of the body extremities during stretching such as the thigh and/or shoulder. The large size of the loops enables the user to stretch various muscles or groups of muscles without the need for grasping the device. By obviating the need for grasping the device during a stretch, a user can maintain a completely relaxed position during a stretch, employing gravity to provide a stretching force. An advantage of stretching while relaxed is that the user may effortlessly hold the stretch longer, thereby enhancing the benefit of the stretch.
