Frequently Asked Questions

The Nordstrap™ is a device which allows you to do nordic hamstring curls in the comfort of your own home without needing a partner or heavy equipment 

Step 1. Open a door, slide the door anchors underneath the door and close it. 

Step 2. Once the door is closed, release the buckle and place feet close to the door. 

Step 3. Close the buckle so that the ankles are underneath the straps and pull the straps to tighten. 

Step 4. You are now ready to perform a nordic hamstring curl. We recommend placing a towel underneath your knees for added comfort. 

Peterson et al (2011), used the following protocol in professional and amateur soccer teams, reducing the rate of new hamstring strains by over 60%, and recurrences by 85% when compared to a group of athletes who did their "normal" training that did not include the nordic hamstring curl.

We strongly recommend you visit your GP or other health professional to get a thorough assessment before using the Nordstrap™

It depends on the type of door and frame, as well as how it’s used.

Nordstrap is designed to spread load across the door and frame and works best on solid, well-fixed doors. We recommend avoiding hollow or weak doors and always setting it up exactly as shown.

Like any loaded exercise, correct setup and sensible use matter.
