Patent attributes
A muscle stretching apparatus includes a main loop configured from at least one strap and a handle member within the loop. A foot-rest portion is situated along the loop generally opposite the handle member and, in at least one embodiment, carries a foot saddle fabricated from a durable and flexible material configured to wrap around a portion of a user's foot as the foot exerts force thereon. A strap-constricting device carried by the loop renders the muscle stretching apparatus selectively transfigurable between a first configuration defining the single main loop and a second configuration defining, by selective constriction of the main loop with the strap-constricting device, an upper loop including the handle member and a lower loop including the foot saddle. The handle is variously configured to include a grip and a rolling end cap that rotate relative to one another for implementation in myofascial release and trigger point therapy.
