Whether you are a scholastic, recreational or professional athlete, a runner, swimmer or football player, your chances of being injured during sports remain high. Even in non-contact sports, injuries range from nagging plantar tasciitis (an inflammation of the tissue on the bottom of the foot) to Achilles tendonitis, ankle sprains. cramping calves and hamstring pulls, among many others. The best way to treat an injury is to prevent it from happening in the first place! Many athletic injuries can be prevented by improving lower extremity strength. balance and flexibility. ProStretch is a unique performance enhancement tool specifically designed to allow you to improve all three of these categories while reducing your overall risk of injury.
IMPORTANT:
o If you presently have a foot, ankle or calf injury, consult your physician or physical therapist before using ProStretch®.
o Do not use ProStretch® on wet surface, ice, gravel, loose stone or sand.
o Never stretch a cold muscle. Warm up first with a short walk or jog.
