Look what people are saying about the Hamstretch:


"My Hamstretch 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 Hamstretch. The pelvic stretch works equally as well. Thanks for creating a great product. I can see many runners and athletes using it. I saw your ad in the August 2007 Runner's World Magazine."

"We have given one of the units to my mother in law and one unit to my 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 Hamstretch 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 Hamstretch unit 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 Hamstretch device puts you in the correct mechanical alignment in order to effectively target the desired muscles. The design of the unit allows one to stretch more comfortably without compromising other regions of the body such as the neck and upper back.'"

"I saw your ad in the back of a Fitness RX for women magazine.  I just received my Hamstretch 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 a hamstring stretch that I could do after working out. Finally I have a convenient way to stretch my hamstrings without hurting my back! I am going to tell my physical therapist about your product next time I see her. She does a lot of work with people with spinal injuries and I think your product could help them out."

Thank you!!!

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

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing in regards to a new innovative piece of exercise equipment, called the "Hamstretch."

The Hamstretch has been specifically designed to stretch the hamstring muscle group. It 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 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 Hamstretch 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 Hamstretch is, by far, the most cost effective and well-built piece of equipment I have ever seen for stretching the hamstrings. 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

"I have been meaning to e-mail you Steve and tell you how happy I've been with the product. 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. I started doing back extensions on my run days and I use the Hamstretch on run & leg days. Because the Hamstretch puts no strain on my lower back & the extensions are strengthening my lower back & core my back pain is gone. When I would sleep to long I would not be able to stand up straight most of the day and I have a very good supportive mattress. Now it makes no difference how long I sleep, there is no pain when I stand and have compression on my spine!

"I lift or run almost everyday and I can't tell you enough how much I have enjoyed the last month not having the back stiffness I have been tolerating for 25+ years. I told my sister who lives in Mexico that she really needs to get this for her husband who is in his 70's with a lot of back pain but he has to use it! Feel free to use this testimonial if you wish, that is the least I can do!

"Have a great rest of the weekend and thanks so much for your product!"

"The Hamstretch is fast becoming a favorite to 3 pairs of yielding hamstrings that I'm too busy to stretch! Thank you for sending!!! I'm telling every PT/ATC & patient I see about it!"
     -- Angela Korn PT



"The Hamstretch is great. I ran across the add in Men's Journal. I was waiting for my car to be serviced at Jiffy Lube and I picked up the magazine in the waiting room and found it in there. It's great!"
    
-- Rob Canatsey



"I really like the product. I had back surgery on Feb 1st and was looking for something like your product on the web 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."
    
-- Mark Salandra



"The Hamstretch is working out well. I was using a rope-style stretching device previously but it does not give me the same leverage as the Hamstretch."
    
-- Kevin Fitzmaurice



"I really like the Hamstretch. I wish I had invented it."
    
-- Albert Bradley



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



"The Hamstretch 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."
     -- David Fluck



"The device works very well. It has helped me tremendously with my bad left hammy and several of the 16 and 17 year old girls I coach have been using it also. You have my endorsement. Thanks again."

People who are prone to hypermobility or who have a ligament deficiency should consult with a
Physical Therapist before using Hamstretch. Misuse of the Hamstretch can cause injury to the knee.
Stretching should be pain free. Slowly stretch, stop and hold the stretch at a point before pain occurs.
