Aside from thinking "hey, is this a swing for hemorroid sufferers?" when I first got it, yes, it is a very good stretcher. I'm able to do 'A' and 'V' type stretches more effectively with it. I can pull in closer to my body than I can with my forearm. Guys with less length will really like this device because ...now they too can do 'A' Stretches which, I feel are an important addition to any stretching routine.
