The Flexistretcher is a great tool that is used for the recovery and strengthening that dancers around the country find themselves using. Luckily, we have a certified Flexistretcher instructor on our DWC team that has a great tutorial on how to use this product. Read on to learn more about the FLX Hamstring Stretch with DWC Staff member Emma Neilson!

  1. Grab your Flexistretcher and lay on your back with your knees facing up.

  2. Bring your leg to your chest and place the ball of your foot on the elastic pad.

  3. Hold the loops on either side of the elastic pad and carefully extend your leg.

  4. Once your leg is all the way straightened, gently pull down on the loops to activate the stretch.

  5. Hold this stretch for 30 seconds.

  6. Repeat on the other side.
