SuperiorArch Superior Arch Foot Stretcher for Ballet and Gymnastics

Dancers, gymnasts and swimmers often need to stretch and strengthen the upper arch of the foot for correct positioning for their sport. A common upper arch exercise is performed by having a fellow performer or instructor hold down the foot, pressed to the floor, while the individual lowers the back of the leg toward the floor, stretching the upper arch of the foot. This is difficult for an individual to do without some assistance. It may also be painful as the heel is pressed against the hard floor. Superior Arch was originally developed for Pointe Ballet Dancers with extensive design consultation from two renowned professional Ballet Instructors, both former lead dancers in national companies and a Doctor of Physical Therapy specializing in Dance and Sports Injury. It allows an individual to exercise and stretch the upper arch of the foot prior to a performance, during regular class instruction or as part of home stretching and exercise. Serious dancers and other athletes will spend thousands of dollars each year on pointe ballet shoes, lessons, coaching and equipment to help improve their technique. For just a few dollars, you can have the Superior Arch, the best Foot and Upper Arch Stretcher available anywhere.
