ROM Coach is your #1 resource to eliminate pain and get back to and keep doing the active things you love. Designed by Kinesiologist Eric Wong (aka "Coach E"), who has been helping people move freely and without pain since 2005 and has gained the trust from people worldwide with over 733,000 subscribers on his Precision Movement YouTube channel. 2-4 MINUTES FOR QUICK RELIEF Tweak or hurt something and suffering from pain? Instead of reaching for pills, open up ROM Coach and use our Movement Painkillers to safely help you take the edge off the pain and helping you avoid popping unnecessary pain pills. DECREASE PAIN, REHAB INJURIES From head to toe including neck pain, shoulder impingement, rotator cuff tendonitis, rhomboid pain, poor posture, golfer's and tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, hip osteoarthritis, weak hip flexors, quad strains, torn hamstrings, patellar tracking disorder, achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis and more - you’ll find what you need help with in ROM Coach. “I've been using this app for 3 months, & I've had a practically life-changing reduction in chronic joint pain. I've struggled pretty severely w/ this since my early teens so I tried not to get my hopes up. But to my surprise, this app has been so helpful that it honestly makes me a lil weepy. I've been recommending ROM to all my family members and friends (Btw the app is super generous with content. So kind!)” MAINTAIN WITH THE DAILY MOVEMENT TUNEUP Use it or lose it! Our patented Daily Movement Tuneup gives you 3 new exercises every day that will work every muscle and take every joint through its full range of motion every 1-2 weeks. It's the movement health equivalent of brushing your teeth! “I have dealt with pain for years, PT, Chiropractors, stretching, massage etc. Nothing has helped my pain and functionality like this. Some exercises are a bit challenging but get easier with practice. i feel as if i am actually getting to the core problems and correcting. I was in the stretch it out til it hurts camp but not anymore. Found videos on YouTube but the app is so much more effective.” 15-20 MINUTE AT-HOME ROUTINES ROM Coach routines are safe and efficient taking just 15-20 minutes to complete and can be done at home with minimal-to-no equipment, making them easy to fit into your busy life. “Nice clean app, and very easy to use. Exceptional instruction, with body-safe exercises to improve strength, range of motion, balance/control, and prevent future pain and injury. As a physician who specializes in neuromusculoskeletal medicine, I couldn't recommend the content produced by Precision Movement more highly. “ STRETCHING ISN’T MOBILITY TRAINING Most people think stretching is how to improve mobility, but they’re not the same. Typical static stretching only provides short-term gains and worse, can lead to increased injury risk. Instead we've got over 200 unique exercises that you won't find elsewhere to simultaneously improve your range of motion, strength and joint stability.
