Why looping resistance bands around the ankle is holding your clients back.

Across GLA:D® classes everywhere, clinicians report the same issues:

• Clients wincing as bands dig into the ankle and shin

• Bruising, pinching, and skin irritation

• Progress stalling because discomfort limits resistance tolerance

• Difficulty twisting and looping bands for clients with reduced hand strength

This isn’t a strength issue.

It’s an equipment problem.

Our origin story

Created by a Physiotherapist, for GLA:D® clinicians

“I’ve been running GLA:D® classes since 2018. Across hundreds of sessions, I kept hearing the same comments — ankle pain, pinching, and difficulty managing bands.”

The classic band‑around‑the‑ankle setup was working against my clients.

So I created a better solution.

After years of trialling, redesigning, and two full years of in‑clinic testing in Bendigo, Victoria, Clover®Strap was born.

What is Clover®Strap?

Clover®Strap is a physiotherapist‑designed foot attachment for resistance bands, created specifically for GLA:D®‑style lower limb exercises.

It attaches securely around the shoe and clips easily to standard resistance bands eliminating direct pressure on the ankle while maintaining effective loading.

Clover®Strap is a fully registered trademark, professionally manufactured, and ready for clinics across Australia.

How it works

How Clover®Strap works in your GLA:D® classes

• One‑size‑fits‑all strap secures comfortably around the shoe

• A simple parrot clip connects to your chosen resistance band

• No twisting, looping, or cutting bands

• No pressure points on the ankle or shin

• Same GLA:D exercises without discomfort

We use a couple of sets of Clover®Straps at each station in our clinic — they slot seamlessly into existing GLA:D® setup.
