Stretchy will gently remind you when it’s time for your stretch break, then guide you through it. The goal is to help you stay mobile, active, and energized throughout the day. Early research suggests that a stretch break of just two minutes per hour can help reduce soreness, fatigue, and discomfort. One of the most persistent issues in the modern workplace is overexertion. If you're spending copious amounts of time hunched over in front of your computer, it's likely that you'll start to feel an ache here or there. Long periods of sitting can result in a tension headache, tight shoulders, and a sore neck. Choosing to stretch will reduce muscle stiffness, provide muscle relaxation, improve posture, and enhance concentration. **What Stretchy will do for you:** - You set a timer and we’ll take care of the rest -- Stretchy will remind you when it’s time for your exercise break. - Choose your session (2, 4, or 8 hours) -- We’ll help you stay active with a personalized break reminder. - Pick your pain and we’ll develop a tailored plan -- Stretchy recommends the best exercises based on your specific needs (neck, back and leg pain). - Weekly status checks to keep you in the right mindset -- We’ll help you stay motivated with simple tools to track your progress every step of the way. - Convenient stretch breaks at the office -- Stretchy gives you easy-to-follow exercises.
