“I wish there was some way to safely stretch out my tight tissues in more than one direction, more like my day to day movement demands at home or work, or when i play my sport.”
Our True Stretch cage, invented by our friend Gary Gray of the Gray Institute, is an awesome tool that provides a safe environment for our patients to enhance their function through movement and all the varied combinations possible via it’s unique design. With 4 points of contact (both hands and feet) for safety and security the unit allows multidirectional positioning and movement during functional flexibility training. It also provides a unique opportunity to perform manual therapy techniques with our patients in functional weightbearing positions to more authentically improve pain-free movement qualities that traditionally are otherwise often done lying down on a table, completely different from real-life forces the body must contend with. It’s designed purposely to allow for sagittal (forward-backward or up-down), frontal (side to side), and transverse (twisting or rotational) directed movements that can’t be easily replicated on any other piece of equipment or environment.
