Summary:
OPTP has launched the Stretch Out Strap Pro, an enhanced version of its original stretching strap that adds a centered 11th loop to improve symmetry, safety, and exercise versatility while enabling deep, partner-free stretching.

Key Takeaways:

  • The centered 11th loop enhances body alignment, balance, and safety, particularly for stretches involving an outstretched leg.
  • Like the original, the strap supports deep, gradual stretching without a partner and is made in the USA with durable, woven construction.
  • The Stretch Out Strap Pro includes comprehensive photo and video guides featuring more than 40 stretching and mobility exercises for improved flexibility and range of motion.

OPTP has introduced the Stretch Out Strap Pro. This new stretching strap has all the time-tested features of the Original Stretch Out Strap with the addition of a centered 11th loop. Like the original, the Stretch Out Strap Pro is designed to enable users to achieve deep, effective stretching without the aid of a partner. The centered 11th loop reportedly improves body symmetry, exercise versatility, and user safety. When used with an outstretched foot—as in a heel slide or hamstring stretch—the foot can be placed in the center loop, keeping it securely in place while the straps are equidistant from the foot to ensure balance and alignment. Stretch Out Strap Pro is made in the USA using the same durable materials and construction as the original.
