Most stretching apps hand you the same routine every day. This one measures you first. Ten guided tests map your real range of motion and turn it into a mobility score for every joint. Your daily session is built from those results. Nine minutes. Floor space. No equipment. MEASURE FIRST Ten guided tests cover hips, shoulders, ankles, spine, hamstrings and neck. For positions that need an angle, rest your phone against your leg and the app reads the tilt in degrees. You get a score per joint and a clear picture of exactly where you are tight. A PROGRAM THAT ADJUSTS TO YOU Your daily session is built from your results and the time you actually have. Flag something sore and today's session shortens the holds and drops the hardest positions. Nothing generic, nothing you cannot do today. EVERY MOVEMENT IN 3D Watch the full movement from any angle before you try it, with cues and timing for every hold. No guessing what the position is supposed to look like. TRACK REAL CHANGE Retest whenever you like and compare against your baseline, session by session, degree by degree. Progress you can read in numbers, not in how you happen to feel that morning. BUILT FOR People who sit all day and feel it in the hips and lower back Lifters and runners who need range before they need load Anyone stiff in the morning who wants nine minutes aimed at the actual problem Anyone who quit a stretching app because the routine never changed HOW THE MEASUREMENT WORKS Angle readings use your phone's motion sensors and are intended for general fitness tracking. They are not a clinical measurement. Fitonomy Mobility is not a medical service and does not diagnose or treat any condition. Check with a doctor before starting a new exercise program, especially if you have an injury or ongoing pain.
