Clover®Strap – The comfortable, clinician‑designed alternative to looping resistance bands around the ankles

Designed by a Physiotherapist.
Tested in real GLA:D® classes for over 2 years.

Built to remove ankle pain, improve resistance tolerance, and unlock strength progression.

If you run GLA:D® programs and you’re still twisting resistance bands directly around your client’s ankles, you already know the problem.

What we see in clinic…

  • Across GLA:D® classes, the same issues come up again and again:

    -bands digging into ankles and shins, causing pain and skin irritation

    -progress limited by ankle discomfort

    -clients struggling to manage bands due to reduced hand strength
    This isn’t a strength issue. It’s an equipment problem.

  • What it is
    Clover®Strap is a clinic‑ready, shoe‑based resistance band attachment for GLA:D®‑style lower limb exercises, featuring a one‑size-fits-all adjustable strap that secures comfortably around the shoe and clips straight to standard bands for quick, easy setup with no looping or twisting.

    Clover®Strap does not change the GLA:D exercises- it enhances them

    Why clinicians use it:
    - Improves load tolerance and strength progression
    - Reduces pain and skin irritation
    - Quick to apply and built for repeated clinical use
    - Creates a consistent, professional class setup
    - Adds a simple passive revenue stream

    Why clients prefer it:
    - More comfortable exercise
    - Greater confidence and independence
    - Better adherence to home programs
