Piri-Stretcher

Abstract

The Piri-Stretcher is piece of training and/or exercise equipment designed to aid the user in stretching the human piriformis muscle with optimal comfort and simplicity. The device is placed around the leg and used manually for several intervals of 15 seconds per leg and designed to assist in the elimination of lower back, leg and buttocks pain caused by taut piriformis muscles or a distressed sciatic nerve caused by taut piriformis muscles. The Piri-Stretcher is engineered to concentrate and target the leg and hip movements necessary to stretch the elusive and deeply embedded piriformis muscles.

1 . I claim the aforementioned piri-stretcher device which is used to aid in stretching the human piriformis muscle: The device is made from flexible textile or neoprene material, has thigh and calf straps to secure the device to the leg and a reinforced handle positioned for optimal grip, leverage and comfort during operation. The device uses a secure hook and loop fasting system to attach and secure to leg. The device helps the user isolate and stretch the piriformis muscle consequently reducing lower back, leg and buttocks pain caused by taut piriformis muscles. Notwithstanding my claim to analogous permutations of material, size and strength as they may vary slightly based on the size of the user, the unit described in the drawings is neoprene measuring 24 inches long by 10 inches wide by 3 mm thick.
