As a pilates instructor, I am constantly helping my clients achieve a greater range of motion and gain more flexibility throughout their bodies. I have incorporated the use of various bands and straps over the years. I have found the T-Strap to be the most effective on the market by far. The unique design provides a much deeper stretch than most conventional straps and is the “go to” tool for stretching at my studio.
