Abstract: The Paschima Stretch Box System is an exercise device for improving a user's forward bend flexibility. The box has a top panel and four side panels. The side panels are configured with a plurality of apertures that pass between an outer side and an inner side of the box. A user can stand on the box or assume a seated position with feet against the box, grasping the apertures or crossbars. As the user bends forward or extends their legs, the device facilitates a gradual increase in the depth of their stretch, targeting the user's hamstrings and back. Various embodiments include different aperture shapes, notched lower edges, rounded edges for comfort, and specific panel thicknesses and dimensions. The location of the apertures can be varied to provide more gradual stretching progression by rotating the box.

Abstract: A stretch box system is a generally rectangular box including five panels which are attached to each other. The box has a variety of apertures through the side panels of the box. The apertures through opposing sides of the box generally align. In some methods of use, the user may place their feet against the box and reach forward to grasp the apertures or the crossbars formed by two adjacent apertures. The user may choose to grasp any number of the apertures or crossbars, and as their range of flexibility improves, they may grasp more distant apertures or crossbars to increase the intensity of the stretch.
