ELEMENTS® Standing Straps
Secure Support for Standing Movement
ELEMENTS® Standing Straps were developed specifically for standing exercises in the GYROTONIC® Archway program.
Their Y-shaped construction creates a secure connection around the foot and ankle, providing additional stability during upright and dynamic movement.
Unlike conventional foot loops, Standing Straps combine a secure fit with generous cushioning designed for the particular demands of standing work.
Original ELEMENTS® Design
ELEMENTS® Standing Straps are an original design by ELEMENTS® founder Ana Mariana Sosic, developed in response to requests from GYROTONIC® practitioners looking for a more functional and comfortable connection for standing exercises on the Archway.
The final design was developed over approximately seven months of testing and refinement and is protected in China. Today, ELEMENTS® Standing Straps are recognised and used by GYROTONIC® practitioners and teachers internationally.
Cushioned Support & Secure Fit
Standing Straps feature:
- Extra-wide, thick cushioning
- A soft, supportive connection around the foot and ankle
- An adjustable Velcro cuff that secures the strap in place
- Stable positioning during dynamic standing movement
The cuff wraps securely around the ankle, helping to prevent the strap from slipping while allowing natural movement through the foot.
The wider cushioned construction helps distribute pressure across a greater area, particularly important when body weight is being supported through the connection.
Rehabilitation & Supported Movement
The additional stability around the foot and ankle makes Standing Straps particularly useful in rehabilitation and adapted movement settings.
They can provide additional external support for practitioners working with:
- Reduced foot or ankle control
- Balance and coordination
- Lower-limb strength and movement
- Neurological rehabilitation, including post-stroke movement practice
The straps provide the supportive connection, while the exercise, resistance and level of assistance can be adapted by the teacher or rehabilitation professional to the individual practitioner.
Connecting ELEMENTS® Standing Straps
Standing Straps can be used with:
- ELEMENTS® Level Loops
- ELEMENTS® Extensions and Cuffs for Bars
- Chains
- Ropes
Different connection options allow the setup to be adapted to the exercise and the requirements of the practitioner.
ELEMENTS® Standing Straps are sold in pairs.
