    Stretch Strap



    Studies show that proper stretching helps:


         - Improve muscle balance around a joint, thus improving posture

    - Reduce the chance of injury when playing a sport or in every day activities

    - Increase blood and nutrient flow to muscles and cartilage while also reducing muscle soreness after fitness training.

     

    Stretching Strap Benefits:


         - Stretch muscles that are otherwise difficult to target

    - Improve your flexibility and circulation while preventing injuries

    - Take it with you in your gym bag or purse to stay limber anywhere you go
