See what people are saying about the StretchMaster: Health Care Professionals Professional Competitors Amateur Competitors StretchMaster Class Attendees

Health Care Professionals:

“The StretchMaster® provides an enjoyable way for athletes to benefit themselves in their downtime. For example, after a game or workout in the evening while watching TV, they can relax on their back and (in a few minutes) get assisted hamstring, calf, inner and outer thigh, and glute stretches. Athletes can only put out so much energy and time in their conditioning. Unlike so much of their aerobic and strength training, StretchMaster® assisted stretches can be relaxing and passive, while they relieve muscle tightness and soreness to their athletic benefit. Following strength training or exertion in a sports event, the rate at which an athlete regains maximum strength and peak performance depends on optimal recovery from muscle damage and glycogen depletion. With incomplete recovery, often manifested by soreness and stiffness, speed and strength are reduced. Stretching along with proper nutrition and hydration enhances optimal recovery and can prevent soreness and cramps. The StretchMaster® makes it significantly easier, more convenient and enjoyable to do assisted stretching for warm up and recovery benefits than anything I have found.” Edmund Burke, Ph.D., professor and Director of Exercise Science Program, University of Colorado at Colorado Springs

Professional Competitors:
“One of the components of athletic ability we tend to overlook is flexibility. In the past we have used resistance tubing that could be tied to a limb to assist in moving the body part through its full range. It permitted for both a stretch and contraction of the muscle allowing the user to go to any point within the range of motion and work a specific region. The StretchMaster® is an improvement on that system making it much less complicated while achieving the same result.” Physical Development Coordinator San Francisco 49ers — Jerry Attaway

“Your STRETCHMASTER is by far the very best stretching and strengthening device I have ever come across in my more than 40 years of athletics and rehabilitation...I cannot recommend your STRETCHMASTER highly enough to anyone who requires stretching or light strengthening, whether for rehabilitation or fitness..” Joseph Vijuk, two-time All American, Football Pro, and President, Vijuk Equipment

“In seven minutes you get a really great workout. Trim, lengthen, and strengthen. It's perfect!” Fitness Judge, Certified American College of Sports Medicine Instructor, National Conditioning Coach — Toni D.

StretchMaster Class attendees:

“At age 75, I was about as flexible as a 2' X 4' in spite of the fact that I do aerobic dance, free weights and am a cyclist. But after 5 days on the StretchMaster®, I found my aching left hip lost the pain; I was able to raise my straightened legs from 35º off the floor to about 90º. After 16 days of using the StretchMaster® twice/day, I found my saddlebags had decreased which was not my goal, but a pleasant surprise. StretchMaster® is my companion and I do it 7 minutes each morning.” Elayn B.

“As you know I am 43, 6 ft 1 inch and weigh 200 lbs. Twenty-five years ago I suffered a major injury to my left leg and lower back. Since that injury I have had daily stiffness and limited motion in my left leg, lower hip and back… but now working weekly with the StretchMaster® program my flexibility has doubled and I’ve improved my range of motion on my entire left side… I recommend StretchMaster® for anyone who wants to decrease their discomfort and improve their flexibility, power and performance.” Cuy G, Businessman
