someone mentioned a wedge to get a better calf stretch. Does it come with the stretching device or can you buy it separately from the seller?

The wedge would be separate, I think, as my stretcher did not come with it. I assume the seller would mention it if the wedge were included in the package. You might have to ask the seller if he offers the wedge for sale.

It worked for me with women's shoes. Not a guarantee it works for everyone. If you can't return it's worth a try. But I would keep the stretcher in the shoe a day or two and to the max setting.

The side compressors come up about 12". There is a roller "knob" in the rear at about the 9" mark. While it feels good to get the lower half of your lower leg squeezed, it's really not tall enough to effectively massage the calf of even a small adult. I suppose your mileage will vary depending on your calf shape.

it is not that wide, say like a regular yoga strap. this strap has loops so one would put their foot through and be able to follow the book. I love mine and would recommend as an accompaniment to regular stretch strap. I can't say enough good things about it or how much it has helped my flexibility.

I purchased this for my mom while recovering from hip surgery so I do not have access to the item to measure. However, I do know that with practice it works very well and if you have large calf muscles like I do, you can easily spread the sock holder apart to accommodate your calf size.

Dont know...but an earlier, beginner yoga session by Ali McGraw is fabulous for stretching after your workout...haven't found one better overall.

Miss Pam, Mine did not come with a DVD, but really one does not need one. You set the angle from 1 to 6 on the Total Gym and either kneel on the board or lift your knees and use your toes. You can also sit side saddle, (left or right), and use that way too. And........just use your imagination. Best of luck. Gary

This device is unbelievable!This device stretches you hamstring muscles. When your hamstring muscles are loose, the rest of the back can be stretched with greater ease.You lay flat on your back (The floor is best).You insert your leg into the large opening so that the sole of your foot rests firmly against the short straps which are closely placed together.You then pull back on the device so that your hamstrings are stretched. For best results, keep your knee straight. If you have difficulty doing this, push the controlling bar forward and it will help straighten the knee.I have never found anything to stretch the hamstring muscles correctly and as effectively as this. Worth every penny. good luck! This device is unbelievable!This device stretches you hamstring muscles.

my shoe size is mens 11 and I don't usually use this with shoes, only with socks. still works great and is the perfect stretch for my calves.If you don't mind your toes hanging off the end, I would think 12+ would still work fine, the way it is designed, you're still going to get a good stretch regardless if the front of your foot is completely "on" the rocker.

We can offer the EZ-Up Inversion & Chin-Up System with the XL boots, however the XL boots do not come with calf loops. The XL boots are 1" larger in diameter and 1" taller. If you need assistance please visit our website at Return2Fitness.com. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. Kind regards, Return2Fitness

I find the stretch about the same, if not a little stronger, than using stairs (I have never used a foam wedge). However, the benefit I find to this device is that I can keep it under my desk and stretch as I am doing work.

If your mid-calf size is greater than 12 inches circumference (swollen or not swollen) this device will not work for you. The idea behind this device is a good one, but the inventor failed to make the area wide enough where the sock is stretched and held just before inserting the foot and then pulling up the sock. The inventor needs to come out with I suppose three different sizes (small middle calf, medium and large). One size simply does not fit all. I hope this answers your question. If your mid-calf is less than 12 inches circumference you may find that this device really helps.

Hi , Jake sorry for the wait , yes my Bowflex Blaze came with the squat bar and squat straps . As well as a lat bar and a whole bunch of straps and handles for various workouts , hope this helps !

It does slightly massage an ankle but the entire unit is not worth the price, in my opinion. It does not go around the leg when it is swollen, so what's the point? My husband recently needed to use it so we tied it on with string since the velcro wouldn't match up and it helped a little. I suppose it is better than nothing but I've been massaging his legs and feet by hand and it's about the same. Remember, if you buy this, you cannot return it.

I really did like it too! I bought the Kendall Shiatsu leg massager and have been satisfied with it. A lot of stress was in my calves and it actually helped more!

Hello, I see that you posted this question 7 years ago and assume that you either have the answer or no longer have the machine. I purchased a used machine and have the same question as you, WHERE do the leg cables in the back connect to and how do you do leg exercises. Thanks, Bob
