Stretch Loop TM - Reviews as a "Rehab Tool"

The Stretch Loop TM has been used not only as a leg stretching device but as a Rehab tool.

Here is what users have to say:

Luis Ruiz -Feedback Received 9/20/09

“I've used it and serves it's purpose inexpensive and it really helps in the stretching, and since I just had a shoulder replacement I could use it to aid in my therapy at home.”

Dan "Tendangan Sakti" Davis - Martial Arts Instructor, Flexibility Coach, and Writer  - Feedback Received 8/31/09

"I've been recovering from hip replacement surgery.

The hip replacement was necessary due to my original joint
wearing away from bad alignment of my knees and hips, which was a result of an injury I suffered in the army in 2003.

Last week was the first time I got back into stretching following the
hip surgery. First attempt at using the Stretch Loop and I was able to reach head height in the side kick position! I can't lean into the
stretch (yet) because my new hip isn't strong enough to handle it yet, but regardless to say it shows how effective the Stretch Loop is as a rehab tool.

Anyway, attached is a photo of me using the Stretch Loop just 8 weeks after hip replacement surgery. Just to show you how effective your product really is. Please ignore the casual clothing; I'll take some more formal ones later on, which you can use on your website if you like.

 Note: I am holding onto a chair for support because I haven't yet developed the strength to do the stretch fully unsupported.

I've done further updates to my web site. I've included a dedicated page specifically to the Stretch Loop, which you can find by clicking on this address:

Hope all is well.

Kind regards,

 “The stretch loop worked as advertised. It was very easy to setup and easily stores behind the door when not in use. I mainly wanted this for an injured hamstring after a marathon. I can actually touch my toes now.”

 “Bought the stretch loop in November, and use it religiously every day. It is one of the simplest, most cost-effective pieces of work-out equipment I have ever owned. Unlike the expensive range-of-motion machines, it permits multi-directional stretching, benefiting the hamstrings, femur, glutes and thighs.  All in all, a marvelous purchase!!!   
 

Yes, you may use this testimonial in your advertising.  Many thanks for this ingenious exerciser.”  Pat

It is very rewarding to see that the Stretch Loop TM is growing in popularity and being used not only as a stretching leg device but as a rehabilitation tool.

Grand Master, William J. Chung (Zhong Chao Ding)

of New York’s Chinatown.

On Friday, May 8, 2009, I was invited by Julio Anta owner of  Anta’s Fitness and Self Defense, Miami – Florida to attend a ceremony to honor his Grand Master, William J. Chung (Zhong Chao Ding) of New York’s Chinatown.

 Anta's Fitness and Self Defense is a fully equip Stretch Loop center.

 Julio Anta is a direct disciple of the Southern Shaolin Temple in China. He is the head of the Southern United States of Bill Chung’s Southern Shaolin Hung Gar Kung Fu Association under the direction of Grand Master Chung.

 Grand Master Chung is a 2nd Generation Personal Disciple of Southern Shaolin Abbot Chang Ding of Fujian Province Quanzhou Southern Shaolin Temple.

 Anta’s Kung Fu and traditional Chinese Lion Dance Demonstration Team performed at Anta’s Fitness and Self Defense to honor their Grand Master.

In keeping the Shaolin tradition alive he conducted a Shaolin Temple Disciple Ceremony on Saturday, May 9, making Anta a disciple of Shaolin and giving his school direct linage to the temple. Grand Master Chung talked about his experience in the martial arts and training at Anta Fitness and Self Defense, 10721 NW 58 St. Doral. This event was free and opened to the general public.

 Chinese Community also honored  Shaolin Master on Saturday, May 9, Southern Shaolin Hung Gar Kung Fu Grand Master and direct disciple of the Southern Shaolin Temple in China William J. Chung (Zhong Chao Ding) of New York’s Chinatown was  honored by the South Florida Chinese Community with a welcome party at the Canton Chinese Restaurant of Coral Gables, 2614, Ponce De Leon Blvd at 7 PM. Numerous dignitaries from the Chinese Community were present. A traditional Chinese Lion Dance was performed to begin the celebration.

Grand Master Chung is a pioneer in the martial arts. In the early 60’s he was teaching non Chinese the ancient Chinese treasure of Southern Shaolin Hung Gar Kung Fu. This was way before it was accepted in the Chinese Community. Chung started Kung Fu at the tender age of 7 in 1943. Today at 75 he has 68 years of kung fu knowledge under his belt. He is also one of the few men that possess a true iron palm. He has been inducted into numerous Martial Arts Hall of Fame’s. He knew Bruce Lee well and was the head judge when Chuck Norris won the World Karate Championship in Madison Square Gardens in New York. He was also a guest of Johnny Carson in the Tonight Show in 1967 and was featured in numerous magazines in the seventies. Today Chung keeps a low profile and is a well respected community leader in New York’s Chinatown.

 Julio Anta introduced me to his Grand Master and I have the opportunity to give him a Stretch Loop. 

Anta says “It is truly an honor to be under Grand Master Chung’s tutelage. We might be the only kung fu school in South Florida with direct linage to the Southern Shaolin Temple.” Hung Gar stands for Hung family. The Anta family is truly a Hung family. Anta’s two sons are currently Black Belts in their system.

Hung Gar is not a sport or a game it is a reality based self defense that has been battle tested in the streets of southern China, the Chinese Art of War. Hung Gar is the style popularized by Chinese folk hero Wong Fei Hung in the early 1900’s. Jackie Chung, Gordon Liu (Kill Bill) and Jet Lee have all portrait Master Wong in the Legend of the Drunken Master and Once Upon a Time in China.

I thank Julio Anta again for the invitation and the opportunity to meet his Grand Master.

If you want to get a glimpse of this traditional ancient Shaolin Temple ritual, call Anta’s Fitness and Self Defense at 305 599-3649.
