Abstract
A portable modular stretching apparatus has a basic structure of a base, central rod, pulley, cable system, and two legs jointed at the central rod and alongside the base. Attachments are then added for customized stretching. Attachments provide for hamstring, hips, quadriceps, knees, gastrocnemius, ankle, and metatarsal stretching, limberness, and extension, and hyperflexion. A person adds and removes the attachments based on the desired stretch routine, controls the tension, and removes the attachments, and folds the apparatus when complete.

A portable modular stretching apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a central rod connected to a base at a center of the base;
- a joint on each end in a horizontal direction of the central rod;
- a telescopic leg attached at each joint;
- an attachment receptacle at the central rod to accommodate a back platform;
- a pulley with a cable and tension crank attached to the central rod;
- wherein the central rod and each of the telescopic legs are hollow;
- wherein the base at the center is capable of accommodating a bottom platform attachment fixedly or removably attached to the base;
- and
- wherein the cable is threaded through a cable ring of each of the telescopic legs;
- a leg stretching attachment connected to each of the telescopic legs and locked in place with a fastener;
- and
- wherein the leg stretching attachment comprises a platform, a waist bar, and a leg cradle capable of being adjusted up and down on a track, wherein the up and down movement is controlled by turning a screw crank.
A method of using a portable modular stretching apparatus comprising:
- a central rod connected to a base at the center of the base,
- a joint on each end in a horizontal direction of the central rod,
- a telescopic leg attached at each joint, and
- an attachment receptacle at the central rod to accommodate a back platform,
- a pulley with a cable and tension crank attached to the central rod, and
- wherein the central rod and each of the telescopic legs are hollow,
- wherein the cable is threaded through a cable ring of each of the telescopic legs,
- wherein the base at the center is capable of accommodating a bottom platform attachment fixedly or removably attached to the base, the method steps comprising:
- extending the legs forward;
- attaching a leg stretching attachment having a leg cradle, a platform, a waist bar, a track, and a screw crank at an end receptacle of each of the telescopic legs and locking in place with a fastener;
- sitting on the bottom platform;
- placing lower legs on the leg cradle;
- and
- turning the screw crank to move the leg cradle up and down.
