Physicians, physical therapists, yoga experts, athletes, and sports medicine professionals have long recognized the benefits of stretching to promote increased joint mobility, greater range of motion, and enhanced muscle, joint, and tendon health.
Despite its benefits, stretching exercises can be difficult for many people due to physical limitations or injury.
Dara Winters, a Belleville, New Jersey State-Certified massage therapist and President of Fine Tuning Therapy, LLC, noticed just these difficulties in her clients. A certified yoga instructor and holistic health speaker, Winters also develops, produces, and supplies handmade yoga mat bags to yoga studios in the New Jersey-New York-Pennsylvania Tri-State area. While sewing an order of mat bags one night, she had a vision. That vision became Winters’ patented invention, the Synercise foot harness.
The Synercise foot harness is an essential and innovative fitness, physical therapy, and physio tool that can be worn anytime. Constructed of polypropylene webbing, the Synercise foot harness provides a more comfortable and convenient means to perform easy stretching routines, increasing user flexibility, and producing greater range of motion for athletes, fitness and yoga enthusiasts, as well as patients undergoing rehabilitation or those with physical disabilities.
Winters, who was instrumental in the success of the inaugural Northeastern Holistic Health Fair explained, “The foot harness helps users in the prevention of injuries during athletics, aids in rehabilitation and recovery to injuries, and enhances overall health and well-being while encouraging users to develop their own personal stretching routines.”
Winters continued, “Synercise slips over the foot and attaches around the ankle, supplying the user with a secure means to have multiple places to hold during therapy and exercise. Users can also utilize its accompanying accessory strap for more stretching options or incorporate therapeutic elastic bands for a safer resistance training routine.”
Synercise helps users by:
- increasing their joint mobility
- relieving stiffness which in turn reduces the risk of injury during physical activities and athletics
- nourishing muscle tissue, joints, and tendons with increased blood circulation and oxygenation
- helping in rehabilitation
- accelerating recovery time
- assisting with isokinetic stretching to reduce muscle imbalance
Winters has recently demonstrated the Synercise foot harness for the United Spinal Association, American Parkinson’s Association, and JESPY House and has donated the product for use at the Shriners Children’s Hospital. She also presented the Synercise foot harness to more than 1,500 personal trainers at New York City’s recent TSI Summit and at the recent Northeastern Holistic Health Fair.
The Synercise foot harness can be obtained through Winter’s Synercise web site (http://www.synercise.com), and sells for $19.95. Wholesale inquiries, volume purchases, and professional courtesy discounts are available. It is also available nationwide through Yoga Journal Magazine, GAIAMS Living Arts Catalog, and Whole Foods Markets.
