Finis The Rack
What is the Rack? The Rack is a device using static and active stretching principles to achieve increased plantar flexion (increased range of ankle motion) by stretching structures (muscles, tendons and ligaments) in the ankle and in the anterior aspect of the lower leg. Applications:Swimmers: to increase propulsion from the kick and to decrease drag encountered by the foot on the down kick.Triathletes: to change the kick from a balancing movement to a propulsive, balancing movement for the same energy expenditure.Runners: to increase stride length and decrease Achilles tendon stress by decreasing the resistance encountered on the push off.The RACK should be safley used by people ages 14 and over. WARNING:The rack can apply very high forces to the ankle. Do not try to achieve sudden increases in range of motion. GO SLOW. Apply force gradually. DO NOT USE BOUNCING MOVEMENTS. The goal is to increase the range of motion over a period of weeks or months, not days. Your ankles may be sore for a few minutes after stretching. If the soreness lasts more than a few minutes, you are using too much force.
