Foot and Calf Stretcher-Stretching Strap For Plantar Fasciitis, Heel Spurs, Foot Drop, Achilles Tendonitis & Hamstring. Yoga Foot & Leg Stretch Strap. (Black)

After having a second knee replacement I needed a stretch band and found this foot and calf stretcher. This stretcher is absolutely a perfect tool to use not only to stretch my calfs and feet, it also works to stretch your thighs, hamstrings and especially helps me work my knee. This is a great value for your money. The size, length and grip are perfect for anyone to use.

Right out of the box, this was worth more than I paid. Excellent quality!I was recently diagnosed with heel spurs after a heel injury, and this stretcher was recommended by my podiatrist. It does not damage my healing injury and gives my ligaments and tendons the stretching they need.The best part is these stretches do exactly what yoga does. I used to do yoga exercises religiously until I got older and developed leg issues. I am so happy that this allows me to do the leg stretches I used to with yoga.Oh! The slipping others have experienced can be fixed by playing around with the Velcro straps and placement. It happened to me at first, too, but now it fits perfectly and never slips.HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Having a prior stroke and suffering from right sided weakness with a foot drop still after eight years I have been searching the planet for anything and everything that can help and I love that this has the whole pad on the foot that brings the toes back because losing that ability, I am unable to do that myself so this works wonders for stretching the toes and foot correctly however it is needing a lot of strength to pull the rope back and gets uncomfortable wish it had pads however this is an awesome design and I asked myself why I have not seen something like this sooner or even thought of something like this

Worked very well. Actually helped to alleviate my pain somewhat.

Update: after using this thing several times now I'm feeling better. It is a very versatile and helpful strap to use while stretching. If you're anything like me and are very tight, have pain, and have a bit of a gut that can impede some stretches, then this is for you. I'm still trying to master the IT stretch. The IT band has always been a difficult stretch for me, probably because I'm so tight everywhere else. The booklet that came with the strap is a little confusing. The pictures and wording don't seem to always match up. But that's not a big deal. This also makes stretching my piriformis easier. That's a huge thing for me. This is still a 5 star product review for me.Original review: Where has this been all my life? I have plantar fasciitis that is significantly impacting my ability to live a normal life. Due to the compensation in my gait one whole side of my body is jacked up and in pain. While looking for yet one more thing to help with the plantar fasciitis I stumbled onto this strap for stretching. I have a slant board for stretching my calves and achilles tendons, which works the best for me. But I need to do other stretches, too, & I have difficulty stretching using elastic bands. Years ago I had a non-elastic band with loops similar to this. But that one didn't have a thing to attach to the foot and made stretching difficult for me and was sometimes painful with the loop digging into my skin. This band with the foot attachment is genius. It's simple enough to put on. It came with a little booklet with directions on how to do different stretches and a bag for storage. I've only used it for the foot, calf, and hamstring so far. I tried it for the IT band which is challenging for a tight person to stretch. I think it'll work well for that too, but I didn't have time other than to quickly check to see if I felt a pull. I'm very happy I got this. It's an inexpensive stretching aid that will actually work for me and hopefully help me be more consistent with my stretching. It seems to be well made. The stitching looks to be well done and thorough. I definitely recommend this especially if you're like me and have difficulty stretching due to age and somewhat limited mobility.

This is nicely made. It was affordable. Definitely designed for beginners, seniors, physical therapy for injuries to non- athletes. Totally useless for athletes, especially those who do to yoga or ballet. It is a very heavy supportive brace with a very weak simple stretching method. Purchased because I needed something to stretch my toes (demi-pointe) (especially at the big toe joint) unfortunately, this contraption did absolutely nothing for me that can't be done with traditional resistance bands and stretch straps.

Excellent tool! After fractured ankle surgery, foot extremely stiff and need to stretch it out before I can start putting weight on my foot. Dr tried to stretch abit manually but sudden movement definitely hurts, this is excellent because I am able to slowly add a tension and it doesn’t hurt. Can feel the massive difference just after one session. Highly recommended!

If you just need something to hook up to your foot to pull and get relief - this works well. It's nothing special, though I do like the multiple handles so that I can stretch at different tensions.
