ABSTRACT:
An adjustable stretching device6includes a stretching surface20that is raised off of the floor on which the user stands, flexes, and stretches the calf and lowers the leg muscles. The stretching surface20can be angled along a primary longitudinal angle26to produce a more intense stretch. Specifically, the stretching surface20can be angled up to90degrees. Additionally, the user can put a leg up on the center pad50and stretch the hamstring muscles. The adjustable stretching device6also includes a padded framework that allows a user to put a leg up on any of the bars at different heights and further stretch the leg muscles. The padding also provides protection for the bar. The stretching surface20of the adjustable stretching device6is preferably a dual stretching surface20that is angled either away from or towards the longitudinal centerline of the dual stretching surface20along the primary longitudinal angle26. This angle can range between 0 and 45 degrees. The angle or wedge can be either integral to the platform or removable and clipped into place at different angles or slowly molded into desired angles. The adjustable stretching device6has a handrail assembly40, which is foldable in nature for storage. The handrail assembly40also provides leverage for a more intense stretch. The adjustable stretching device6also includes magnets to provide better circulation for the feet or another desired area.
