Abstract
An adjustable stretching deviceincludes a stretching surfacethat is raised off of the floor on which the user stands, flexes, and stretches the calf and lowers the leg muscles. The stretching surfacecan be angled along a primary longitudinal angleto produce a more intense stretch. Specifically, the stretching surfacecan be angled up todegrees. Additionally, the user can put a leg up on the center padand stretch the hamstring muscles. The adjustable stretching devicealso 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 surfaceof the adjustable stretching deviceis preferably a dual stretching surfacethat is angled either away from or towards the longitudinal centerline of the dual stretching surfacealong the primary longitudinal angle. 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 devicehas a handrail assembly, which is foldable in nature for storage. The handrail assemblyalso provides leverage for a more intense stretch. The adjustable stretching devicealso includes magnets to provide better circulation for the feet or another desired area.
