Stretching is a form of physical exercise in which a specific muscle or tendon (or muscle group) is deliberately flexed or stretched in order to improve the muscle's felt elasticity and achieve comfortable muscle tone. The result is a feeling of increased muscle control, flexibility and range of motion. Stretching is also used therapeutically to alleviate cramps. **** Please consult your physician or medical doctor before using any routine or exercise **** iPro Stretching Exercises Features (for Free) - Customizable basic Neck and Eyes exercises. - Fully customizable routines. - Create custom workouts. - Clear pictorial information. - Written exercise instructions. - Fully customized exercise player. - On-screen instructions and timer. - Routine reminders (if you want them, of course!) - Progress tracking. - Backup/Restore Routines. - Custom icons for Routines. iPro Stretching Exercises Features (for Pro) - Over 100 customizable stretching exercises. - More routines. - Fully customizable routines. - Create custom workouts. - Clear pictorial information. - Written exercise instructions. - Fully customized exercise player. - On-screen instructions and timer. - Routine reminders (if you want them, of course!) - Progress tracking. - Backup/Restore Routines. - Custom icons for Routines. **** Benefits **** - One review suggests that there are many beneficial stretches that can improve range of motion in athletes, especially runners. - If done properly, stretching can prevent injury, relax the muscles, increase range of motion and flexibility, and better one's performance. - Stretching is more beneficial to those who stretch regularly, as opposed to those people who stretch occasionally. - Stretching increases blood flow which prevents hardening of the arteries and it also produces synovial fluid, which lubricates the joints that are surrounded by the muscles; which in turn helps prevent arthritis. - Stretching stabilizes the body's natural balance and posture, and aligns the joints leading to better coordination. After any physical activity, there is a buildup of lactic acid in one's body and by stretching the lactic acid is removed, therefore alleviating any muscle pain or cramps.

Relieve Pain. Move Freely. Feel Better in 7 Minutes a Day. For years, I sat eight hours a day chasing deadlines. I ignored the ache building in my neck and shoulders — until it wasn't just an ache anymore. Sitting, standing, even sleeping got hard.
