Abstract

An exercise device for assisting stretching exercises comprises a stretch support frame (4) and a vibrator (20). The stretch support frame (4) is configured to define a plurality of fixed leverage points (14, 15) for engagement by a user to perform stretching exercises. The vibrator (20) is operatively connected to the stretch support frame (4) to vibrate the frame (4) such that vibrations are transferred from the frame (4) to the user when the user engages one or more of said leverage points to increase the efficacy of the stretching exercises.
