A simple tool designed by physiotherapists that assists people to use the correct body positioning during stretching. Made of high tension webbing, stretch bands are available in three sizes and are suitable for use by all individuals. By including a regular flexibility programme into your exercise routine you can:

Improve recovery after exercise
Increase joint range of motion
Decrease muscle tension/soreness
Improve your ability to relax
Improve circulation
Improve posture

A poster with comprehensive stretching programme and guidelines is included with each Stretchband.

Height recommendations:

Small (red) less than 170cm (under 5'6")
Medium (blue) 170cm – 190cm (5'6" to 6'2")
Large (green) greater than 190cm (over 6'2")

Please Note: How flexible are you? Can you almost touch your toes from standing - then go with the band for your height. If however you are unable to get to your ankles, then you are probably quite stiff and should purchase a band one size larger than your height would indicate.

Testimonials

"The band is a great piece of kit and the guys like to use it on a morning of a match and also to help with recovery at the end of play. It is a versatile piece of equipment and easy to carry in my kit bag."
Tom Summers, Strength and Conditioning Coach, Yorkshire County Cricket Club

"At Gloucester Rugby we use the bands to help the individual to achieve maximum soft tissue tension safely and allow an optimum of both dynamic and static flexibility to be achieved. Players have to maintain proper postural alignment to achieve improvement in muscle length and the bands add an element of postural control to each individual stretch. They also add greatly to the variety of stretches you can utilise which is ideal for use in a group environment and for individual management in the rehabilitative / prehabilitation setting. The Stretchbands were also used to great effect by both the Medical and Strength and Conditioning Department throughout the Lions Tour to South Africa."
Bob Stewart, Head of Medical Service Gloucester Rugby

"I love and use the bands on all my clients. Pilates encourages length in a muscle at all times. Stiff clients struggle to find length, the band allows a client to work the lengthening easily. The band also offers stability. Often clients cannot get into the correct position or stay in the correct position because of lack of strength and stability, the band gives this support to allow for a more comfortable and prolonged stretch. as a result the client is able to progress more effectively in changing their own body. I love it!"
