Meet Healder: gentle exercises for your back, neck, shoulders, knees and more, at home. Get a plan built around you in a few questions, then watch each move and do it together, with voice guidance and a daily reminder. WHY HEALDER • Targeted relief: Choose Neck, Shoulder, Upper/Lower Back, Chest, Abdomen, Hip, Knee, Foot & Ankle, Elbow/Forearm, Hand/Wrist, or Full-Body. • Condition programs: Plans for cervical/lumbar disc herniation, sciatica, frozen shoulder, shoulder impingement, patellofemoral pain, knee osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel, piriformis issues, rounded shoulders, thoracic kyphosis, mild scoliosis, flat feet and more. • Short sessions: Stackable workouts you’ll actually finish. • Clear guidance: Step-by-step cues for safe form. • See your streak, minutes and pain log. • Reminders: Stay consistent without nagging. • Minimal gear: Most routines need no equipment. WHAT YOU’LL DO • Mobilize: neck rotations, cat–cow, wall angels, seated lumbar rotations, ankle circles. • Stretch: hip flexor, hamstring, chest/doorway, Achilles/calf, piriformis, lat stretch, child’s pose, full-body stretch. • Strengthen: glute bridge and bridge, bird dog, rotator cuff isometrics, prone T/Y/W, crunches, reverse crunch, leg raises; isometric work for neck, knee, elbow, wrist and ankle. • Stabilize & balance: single-leg balance, plank, side plank, dead bug. PROGRAM COLLECTION (EXAMPLES) • Spine: Cervical & lumbar disc herniation, thoracic kyphosis, mild scoliosis. • Posture: Rounded shoulders, upper crossed syndrome, postural dysfunction. • Joint: Frozen shoulder, shoulder impingement, patellofemoral pain, knee osteoarthritis, tennis elbow. • Muscle/Nerve/Structural: Piriformis syndrome/tightness, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, flat feet (pes planus), carpal tunnel. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your goal or area (e.g., “Lower back pain”). 2. Start a guided plan blending mobility, flexibility, strength and stability. 3. Follow simple timing and form cues; everything is paced for you. 4. Use reminders and streaks to build the habit; add sets when you have time. WHY SHORT SESSIONS? A quick routine reduces friction, fits any schedule and builds a habit you’ll keep. Stack sessions when you have more time. DESIGNED FOR REAL LIFE For desk workers, parents, students, travelers and athletes returning to activity. Ease morning stiffness, reset after long sitting or wind down before bed. Improve posture, reduce tightness and move with confidence. ACCESSIBLE & PRACTICAL • Beginner-friendly flows with regressions/progressions. • Most sessions are bodyweight only. • Works in small spaces; no gym required.
