Stretching the Achilles Tendon
A product recommended for stretching the achilles tendon is the Stretch EZ. It was developed for athletes to help stretch their legs, hips, and lower back. Also, it has been proven to increase flexibility and prevent injury. This product has been endorsed by Physical Therapists who have used Stretch EZ to treat sports related injuries and conditions such as plantar fasciitis with positive results. There are many product reviews such as the one on :http://www.killerlifestyle.com/wp02/2007/10/29/product-review-stretch-ez/ (MarkH45 (talk) 00:46, 31 May 2008 (UTC))
