‼️ Introducing the new Stretch Out Strap® Pro!

All the time-tested features of the Original Stretch Out Strap with a centered 11th loop. Like the original, the Stretch Out Strap® Pro enables users to achieve deep, effective stretching and mobility exercises without the aid of a partner.

The additional, centered loop 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 balanced tension and midline alignment.

🌀 Join us along with Brent Anderson on January 28th for this free PROtalks webinar!

Pilates is one of the fastest-growing wellness practices worldwide, yet nearly 70% of adults face movement limitations related to obesity, chronic conditions, injury, or deconditioning. This creates both a challenge and an opportunity for rehabilitation professionals.

In this session, Dr. Brent Anderson—physical therapist, researcher, and founder of Polestar Pilates—will explore how evidence-based applications of Pilates can expand accessibility to movement for people across the spectrum of health, from disease and trauma recovery to wellness and performance. Participants will gain insights into current research, practical applications, and strategies to integrate Pilates into rehabilitation practice for more inclusive and impactful patient outcomes.
