The present invention comprises a device and method for achieving a passive stretch, wherein the device has an anchor, a foot strap, a handle strap and at least one handle. The anchor secures the device to the user such that an opposing force can be applied to the device. A foot strap is attached to the anchor and extends under the heel and plantar surface of the user's foot. The foot strap maintains contact with the user's entire foot. The foot strap extends past the user's toes and connects to a set of handles by way of a handle strap. The user can apply force by pulling the handles toward the user's body thereby achieving a stretch through the user's foot and calf muscle, into the hamstring muscle in particular embodiments.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé permettant dobtenir un étirement passif.

Une sangle de pied est fixée au dispositif dancrage et sétend sous le talon et la surface plantaire du pied de lutilisateur. La sangle de pied maintient le contact avec le pied entier de lutilisateur. La sangle de pied sétend au-delà des orteils de lutilisateur et est reliée à un ensemble de poignées au moyen dune sangle de poignée. Lutilisateur peut appliquer une force en tirant les poignées vers son corps, réalisant ainsi un étirement à travers le muscle du pied et du mollet de lutilisateur, jusque dans le muscle ischiojambier, dans des modes de réalisation particuliers.
