A stretching device comprises a wearable body harness with an adjustable central hold arranged around the upper body connected with an adjustable extension strap configured to engage a foot at a distal end. The extension strap is slidably connected to the central strap to move along the length of the central strap. The extension strap comprises a non-elastic material, divided by a single elastic segment. The extension strap having incremental markings designating amount of adjustment. The device and method of using the device provides a comfortable tension, facilitates hands free stretching in the supine position, improving duration of stretching and range of motion. An independent adjustable stretching strap for upper body and shoulder stretching, further comprises a non-elastic material looped at each distal end, divided by a discrete elastic segment and having incremental visual markings designating amount of adjustment.

1. An exercise device, comprising: a body harness including a shoulder support strap and a central strap for arranging around an upper torso of a body, the central strap formed of a flexible and non-elastic material;a distinct movable guide connected to and slidable along a length of the central strap;an adjustable length extension strap having two strap portions including a proximal strap portion for connection to the movable guide and a distal strap portion forming a looped support, the extension strap formed of a flexible and non-elastic material, wherein the extension strap is adjustable by the movable guide between the looped support and the harness;a discrete elastomeric segment connecting the first strap portion of the extension strap to the movable guide, the elastomeric segment formed of a distinct material from the extension strap and the movable guide;wherein the extension strap is movable relative to the movable guide along the length of the central strap, and the entire device is self-contained. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the movable guide is slidable along a length of the central strap with hands free movement using only a pressure applied by a leg of a user against the extension strap. 3. The device of claim 1, further comprising a strap adjuster located on the central strap, through which an end of the central strap is engaged for adjusting the length of the central strap around the upper torso. 4. The device of claim 1, further comprising a strap adjuster located on the extension strap separating the first strap portion from the distal strap portion, and through which an end of the first strap portion is engaged for adjusting a length of the first strap portion of the extension strap. 5. The device of claim 1, wherein the first strap portion of the extension strap comprises a first side opposing a second side; and a set of incremental markings provided on at least one of the sides along at least a portion of the length of the first strap portion. 6. The device of claim 5, wherein the central strap comprises a first side opposing a second side; and a set of incremental markings provided on at least one of the sides along at least a portion of the length of the central strap. 7. The device of claim 1, wherein the body harness comprises a wearable vest having a sleeve extending around a back of the body harness and terminating at an opening on each side of the upper torso, the central strap positioned through the sleeve such that an entire length of the central strap pulls freely through the sleeve through either opening. 8. The device of claim 1, wherein the discrete elastomeric segment comprises an extruded rubber, or a molded rubber, or a combination thereof. 9. The device of claim 1, wherein the discrete elastomeric segment comprises a plurality of elastomeric cords. 10. The device of claim 1, wherein the elastomeric segment is removably attached to the extension strap. 11. The device of claim 10, wherein the elastomeric segment is replaceable with another elastomeric segment of different elasticity to create a different amount of tension. 12. The device of claim 1, wherein the looped support comprises a straight gripped support base at a most distal end of looped support. 13. A device for increasing range of motion and flexibility, the device comprising, strap formed of flexible and non-elastic material, having a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion being adjustable;a discrete elastomeric segment attached between the first end portion and the second end portion of the strap, the elastomeric segment having a length that is less than a length of either the first end portion or the second end portion, wherein the length of the elastomeric segment is adjustable by a movable guide between a looped support and a harness; anda plurality of incremental measurement markings provided along a length of the first end portion of the strap on at least one side surface of the first end portion of the strap and beginning from an edge of the first end portion of the strap. 14. The device of claim 13, further comprising a strap adjuster on the first end portion, through which the edge of the first end portion is engaged for adjusting the length of the first end portion of the strap. 15. The device of claim 13, wherein the first end portion is an adjustable looped end and the second end portion is a non-adjustable looped end. 16. The device of claim 13, wherein the elastomeric segment having a first edge and a second edge, the elastomeric segment is attached at the first edge to the first end portion of the strap by a first plastic capture piece and attached at the second edge to the second end portion by a second plastic capture piece. 17. The device of claim 13, wherein the elastomeric segment comprises a plurality of elastomeric cords. 18. The device of claim 13, wherein the elastomeric segment is removably attached to the first end portion and the second end portion of the strap. 19. The device of claim 18, wherein the elastomeric segment is replaceable with another elastomeric segment of different elasticity to create a different amount of tension.
