## Description

Short, guided stretching routines built around your lower back. No equipment, no gym, no time excuses — five minutes between meetings is enough to start feeling better.<br><br>WHAT&#39;S INSIDE<br><br>• Guided programs by goal — lower-back relief, hip openers, post-run cooldown<br>• Build your own routine from 25+ named stretches<br>• A clear timer for every stretch with one-handed controls<br>• Streak tracking and gentle daily reminders<br>• Pain check-ins before and after each session so you can see what&#39;s actually helping<br>• Flexibility self-tests to track your reach over time<br><br>DESIGNED FOR YOUR BACK<br><br>Every routine is built around the muscles that actually drive lower back pain — the lumbar spine, hip flexors, glutes, and hamstrings. We pair a body diagram with each stretch so you understand what you&#39;re working on.<br><br>SAFE BY DEFAULT<br><br>Some back pain needs a doctor, not stretching. We screen for red-flag symptoms (radiating leg pain, numbness, post-trauma severe pain, fever with back pain) during onboarding and route you to a clinician when those apply. You can review the safety check any time from Settings.<br><br>HABIT, NOT OBLIGATION<br><br>Stretch on the days you can. The app&#39;s streak safety net keeps you motivated without punishing missed days. Milestones at 7, 30, 100, and 365 days celebrate the work you&#39;ve actually done.<br><br>PRIVATE BY DESIGN<br><br>All your data — pain logs, flexibility tests, completed sessions — stays on your device unless you opt into Health Connect for steps and exercise logging. No accounts, no ads, no tracking.<br><br>GOOD FOR<br><br>• Office workers with a stiff lower back from sitting<br>• Anyone recovering from a long flight or drive<br>• Runners and lifters who skip mobility work<br>• Anyone who&#39;s been told to &quot;stretch more&quot; but doesn&#39;t know where to start<br><br>This is not a replacement for medical care. If you have severe, persistent, or unusual back symptoms, please see a clinician.
