Success Stories  
 

My IdealStretch works great! I am not a big gym person and I don't run or cycle half as much as I would like in the winter leaving my hamstrings plenty tight. I can feel a difference in just a few days after using the IdealStretch. The pelvic stretch works equally as well. Thanks for creating a great product. I can see many runners and athletes using it. I was glad I found it in the August 2007 Runner's World Magazine.

I just started with a new personal trainer, and he uses one of these on me.  As soon as I put the IdealStretch on for the first time, I could see what a great device this is I think it's a great product and I am purchasing one for home use to supplement my training and yoga.

I saw your product in the back of a Fitness RX for women magazine. I just received my IdealStretch a few days ago and I just wanted to write and let you know what a great product it is. A year and a half ago I had to have some vertebrae fused together and can no longer bend my lower back. I wasn’t able to find an effective hamstring stretch. Finally I have a convenient way to stretch my hamstrings without hurting my back! I look forward to tell my physical therapist about your product. Thank you!!!

I'm in the military just got done with my third knee surgery and I need something to help me stretch. IdealStretch was my last stop.  It's making life much better for me. I wish I found out about it earlier.

The IdealStretch is the first piece of equipment that I have come across that does exactly that it says it will do and is sturdy for home and professional applications.

Because it easily isolates the hamstrings, it will allow the user to specifically target their hamstrings - with no cheating. This yields far better results and is safer than the usual run of the mill hamstring stretches, like touching your toes, where inevitable cheating will occur.

The reason why the hamstring muscle group is so important is its relations to the pelvic girdle (hips) and low back. The hamstrings attach to the pelvis at the bottom of the buttock region. A tight hamstring will put excess stress on the pelvis, thus causing a pelvic imbalance by pulling on one side of the pelvis. This imbalance is responsible for a significant percentage of the low back and hip problems, which result in pain, loss of work and the inability to exercise.

I have personally used the IdealStretch and it was so easy and effective that I now use it with my patients in my chiropractic office. They love it for its easy use design and I enjoy the significantly improved results - with less time and effort!

The IdealStretch is, by far, the most cost-effective and well-built piece of equipment I have ever seen for stretching the hamstrings and hips.  If people knew how important the hamstrings are to their spinal health, everybody would use the Hamstring. It is a must-have for Chiropractors, Physical Therapists, Rehab centers, personal trainers and health clubs.  Sincerely, Dr. Len DeFazio, Chiropractor
I really like the product. I had back surgery on Feb 1st and was looking for something like your product and ran across your website.  My wife is a Physical Therapist and I am a certified National Strength and Conditioning Specialist.  I just was ranked 15th in the U S Powerlifting Bench Press and continue to try and keep powerlifting with some of my disc issues. I am a true believer in the value of your product.

The IdealStretch is what I've been missing in a good hamstring stretch. It is just as effective as if you had a personal trainer holding your leg up. I've been using it for a few days, and I already notice more improvement now than I ever have stretching alone. It is an excellent design and very lightweight. I definitely will be recommending this device to my friends

I would say this is truly the first stretching aid that I would recommend to ALL my clients for lower body stretching! My clients love to finish their workout with 5 minutes of IdealStretch.

This is undeniably the safest and most effective way for an individual to stretch their hamstrings and hips. Nearly every client who visits Aspen Back leaves with one (or two.)

  I have always had tight muscles in my lower extremities and being a physical therapist I know how important it is to maintain flexibility. It feels as though there is a partner there with you advancing the stretch each time. I would highly recommend this device for patients because they are able to use techniques such as contract-relax by themselves and in the meantime relieving pressure from their lower back. This is a great product for anyone to use. Not only does it help maintain flexibility,
but it increases it as well.

I was thrilled when I first tried the IdealStretch. I am naturally flexible secondary to a childhood of gymnastics and an adult life of yoga and stretching, but the IdealStretch allowed me to take my stretching further on my own. As a physical therapist, I am always looking for new ways to allow my patients to be more independent and give them time-efficient ways to improve their flexibility and strength. I feel the IdealStretch is a perfect way to get them moving in the proper direction of health.

  It has helped me tremendously with my bad left hammy and several of the 16 year old girls I coach have been using it with success. You have my endorsement. Thanks again.

The IdealStretch is fast becoming a favorite to the hamstrings in my clinic that I'm too busy to stretch! Thank you!!! I'm telling every PT & patient I see about it!

  We gave one to my mother and law and one to a friend. My mother in law has arthritic changes in her hip and knee along with the usual musculoskeletal imbalances. She reports the following after the initial 3 days of using the IdealStretch unit, 'I could tell an immediate difference in the pain and flexibility improvement after using the device a couple of times a day.' My friend, who is also an avid cyclist and runner commented, 'I knew my hamstrings were tight but the IdealStretch really accentuates this point. I can tell an almost immediate relief in my low back pain after stretching with the device. This has been one of the first times that I feel I am honestly stretching my IT band as I have attempted to do so in the past with limited results.' My statement: ‘The IdealStretch device puts you in the correct mechanical alignment in order to effectively target the desired muscles and allows one to stretch more comfortably without compromising other regions of the body such as the neck and upper back.’

I have not had such little back pain since I was in my teens and I'm not over exaggerating! I am now 45 and have L4 degenerative disc problems. Because the IdealStretch puts no strain on my lower back and my lower back back pain is gone. When I would sleep too long I would not be able to stand up straight most of the day even with a very good mattress. Now it makes no difference how long I sleep, there is no pain when I stand and have compression on my spine! I can't tell you enough how much I have enjoyed the last month not having the back stiffness that I have been tolerating for 25+ years.
