Entrepreneurial Spirit Category Winner - Lord Stafford Award 2009

Stretching by Design Ltd are committed to creating and promotion devices to assist and develop muscle improvement by sustained stretching or repetitive exercise.

We have designed and produced The LARA, a lightweight, portable device for stretching and re-educating the adductor muscles of the leg. It is the first of many products designed and developed by the co-directors of this new and innovative company. Read what users have said about the LARA and how easily it fits into everyday routine:

...the only thing I didn't follow [in the instructions] was the timing because I was enjoying it so much... it was just perfect."

The above quotes are taken from a usability report conducted by the Health Technology Design Institute at Coventry University. You can view the report in full in our Downloads section.
