Professional-Grade Stretching Band Recommend By a Kinesiologist to Improve Mobility, Flexibility, and Ease of Movement

Lifemoves Human Performance is always looking out for the tools and small exercise equipment that can help our clients reach their goals.  One tool we came across in 2009 was the Lockeroom Stretchband, which helps with flexibility training.

There are quite a few bands to help people stretch, but the Lockeroom stretchband is the only one that Alfred Ball, a kinesiologist and Level 3 STW Fascia Stretch Therapist, regularly uses himself and recommends to clients.

It is an excellent tool to help improve flexibility, mobility and ease of movement. Use it at home, at the gym, on the sports field, or while travelling.

We only recommend products that are high quality, will last a long time, and that we use ourselves.

Why Do I Need a Stretching Band to Help Me Stretch?

Stretch bands prevent people from being in awkward and unsupported positions. Using an assistive device makes stretching easier and more comfortable. 

 The key to getting the most out of each stretching position is to be comfortable and relaxed. Otherwise, you won't breathe calmly, and other parts of your body will be tense. 

Why Choose Lockeroom's Strechband Over Other Options?

This Lockeroom Stretchband is an Australian innovation.  Australia is a leader in physical rehab and sports conditioning training.  It combines stiffness and stretch. 

There are many options available. However, similar to a multiple-choice question with all correct answers, the Lockeroom band is the choice. Before learning about it, Alfred recommended yoga straps, towels, looped stretch bands, and stiff exercise bands. 

The Lockeroom Sports bands are the answer.

A hamstring stretch is an example where these stretch bands excel. First, place the strap around your waist, then hook your foot and straighten your leg until you feel a gentle pull.

Second, use your hands to guide your leg into different angles. Last, press your heel into the band to contract the hamstrings and then release for a deeper stretch.
