Lower Back Stretching

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.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Guided programs by goal — lower-back relief, hip openers, post-run cooldown

• Build your own routine from 25+ named stretches

• A clear timer for every stretch with one-handed controls

• Streak tracking and gentle daily reminders

• Pain check-ins before and after each session so you can see what's actually helping

• Flexibility self-tests to track your reach over time

DESIGNED FOR YOUR BACK

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're working on.

SAFE BY DEFAULT

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.

HABIT, NOT OBLIGATION

Stretch on the days you can. The app's streak safety net keeps you motivated without punishing missed days. Milestones at 7, 30, 100, and 365 days celebrate the work you've actually done.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

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.

GOOD FOR

• Office workers with a stiff lower back from sitting

• Anyone recovering from a long flight or drive

• Runners and lifters who skip mobility work

• Anyone who's been told to "stretch more" but doesn't know where to start

This is not a replacement for medical care. If you have severe, persistent, or unusual back symptoms, please see a clinician.
