Treating each individual we serve with respect and dignity.
Gene G., Orchard Park, NYI was 11 months out from my original knee surgery and my range of motion was stuck at 85°. My surgeon wanted to do a manipulation under anesthesia but I had heard horror stories about that and didn't want to do it. The surgeon's assistant told me that there was a new device down in the therapy department that he wanted me to try to see if it would help me. It was the EZ Stretch. I tried it in the clinic and saw a small improvement with just one use. They prescribed it for me to use at home and I used it regularly four to five times a day for 15 minutes at a time for four weeks. Every week I went back to have my range of motion measured and it improved each time. My range of motion is now at 107°. I can get up and down the stairs with no problems. Sitting and standing have become so much easier now that my knee is moving better. I don't know what I would have done without the EZ Stretch. The delivery and sales people were friendly and helpful and explained what I needed to do. I would definitely recommend the EZ Stretch to anyone who has had a total knee replacement and is having trouble getting their range of motion going again."
I was totally satisfied with your machine and the people I dealt with. I would recommend the EZ Stretch and company to anyone."Joseph D., Chicago IL
I wish I had this immediately after surgery and didn't wait seven months for this form of rehab. It works better than normal exercise."Fred C., Columbus IN
I've enjoyed being physically active all my life. But after my total knee replacement, I felt like I was never going to get back to doing all the things I loved. But then, I started using the EZ Stretch. It was so easy to get in and out of it, even right after surgery. I used it all the time at home during my rehab. My therapist was amazed at the quick progress I was making. My range of motion is terrific now in my knee and I'm back to doing all the things I love to do. I don't think I would have gotten back to it as quickly if I hadn't been able to use the EZ Stretch at home during that time."Albert W., Cincinnati, OH
The EZ Stretch was great! Following knee surgery and a 2nd knee manipulation surgery, it greatly improved my range of motion. It was easy to use at home and I could control the amount of stretch as well as the length of time during each use. I continued to use the EZ stretch at physical therapy after using it at home. I would highly recommend this equipment to anyone with knee mobility issues. It helped me immensely! Thanks!"LeAnn G., Suwanee, Georgia
This machine, "EZ Stretch," is without question the easiest and most functionally useful machine I have used. Following knee replacement my flexibility/range of motion improved considerably. I doubt that my level of knee rehab result would have been achieved without this machine. Great Product!"Evon K., Gainesville, Georgia
I had an infection after knee surgery so I was seven weeks late starting rehab. The EZ stretch made it possible for me to rehab any time of the day or night. I was able to regain full use of my knee in two months."Sims S., Columbus, Ohio
I attribute the relatively quick recovery from a knee replacement to the EZ-stretch as well as Physical Therapy. Whenever I felt my knee getting stiff, I would get on the EZ Stretch and work it out. Since my PT was only once a week,it was great to augment it whenever I wanted to."Roger G., Crown Point, Indiana
I had a total knee replacement done at the Chicago VA hospital in January 2010. I had been told horror stories about the recovery process from friends and family and I was very apprehensive going in for the surgery. The Chicago VA hospital has an EZ Stretch right in there physical therapy clinic. My physical therapist had me using the EZ Stretch just 3 days after surgery while I was still staying in the hospital. I had a love hate relationship with the EZ Stretch from the first time I used it. But even though the stretching was painful my therapist told me how much it was going to help my knee to straighten and bend all the way. I used the EZ Stretch every day while I was in the hospital for the next 7 days. My therapist told me that she wanted me to keep using the EZ Stretch at home and she had one delivered for me the same day I got home from the hospital. I used the EZ Stretch every day at home for a few weeks and kept going to see my physical therapist and my recovery was a breeze. I'm already back to playing golf and looking forward to going to a few Sox games. I've told everyone about how easy my recovery was and when people ask me if they should have their knees fixed I tell them only if they can get an EZ Stretch at home."William C., Chicago, IL
Having this machine in your home makes physical therapy great! You do not forget to do your exercises and the EZ stretch makes it so easy. It was a pure joy!"Nicholas F. Ft. Thomas, Kentucky
What a wonderful invention. It dramatically improved my range of motion and served me well in my rehab. Thanks."Richard W. Greenwood, Indiana
I'm a 67 year old man. I've had both knees replaced. My right knee replacement was done at the Indianapolis VAMC in 2005. Although the surgery went well, the rehab was absolutely miserable. I couldn't regain the range of motion in my knee and had to go back to surgery to have a manipulation. The manipulation was not very successful and was very painful. Although I said I would never have the other knee done, in 2007 I had my left knee replacement done, again at the Indianapolis VAMC and by the same surgeon. The surgery again went well but this time around the rehab experience was totally different. The Indianapolis VAMC physical therapy clinic had an EZ Stretch. My physical therapist took me through all of the same exercises that I had performed with my right knee but added the EZ Stretch into each session. After being home from the hospital for about three weeks my physical therapist recommended that I use the EZ Stretch at home to ensure I would completely regain full range of motion in my knee. The EZ Stretch representative delivered the EZ Stretch to my home and instructed me on their suggested protocol and my range of motion rapidly improved. The most amazing part of using the EZ Stretch at home was the improvement to my right knee. I no longer have a limp and thanks to the EZ Stretch both knees now feel great and I have full range of motion in both knees. I would not have made it without the EZ Stretch!"Scott G. - Marion, IN
