WeStretch is a personalized stretching app. Tell it how much time you have and what you want from today's session, and it builds a custom stretching routine in about 30 seconds. An animated instructor guides you through each stretch. People use it to work on flexibility and mobility, to loosen stiffness, and to ease back pain and tightness in the neck, hips, knees and shoulders. Seniors and beginners can start without any setup. How a session works 1. Choose how much time you have. 2. Choose your goal for the day. A warm up feels nothing like a pain relief routine. 3. Skip any positions you want to avoid. Lunges, for example. 4. Follow the animated instructor, step by step. What sets it apart WeStretch does not pull a routine from a small library or hand you a template recorded for everyone. Each stretching routine is built from your stretch history, your goals and 6,700+ physio-informed poses, organized so that over time every joint moves in every direction it should. Hold times start short and progress as your body is ready, which a pre-recorded video cannot do. No two sessions are the same, and your routine changes as you do. Whether you are working on flexibility or mobility, or dealing with stiffness or back pain, the routine follows the goal you pick that day. A user's story After 2,340 days of daily stretching, one of our users wrote to us: "I was thinking today I might try something new and stretch different times throughout the day. I have had some near misses but have not fallen. When I think back, I used to fall all the time. My balance is definitely better. It's kind of amazing. The only thing I have done since Covid is stretching every day and the part that is interesting is that my stamina is actually pretty good. I can do a flight of stairs easily without feeling out of breath." She is too young to need two new knees and two new hips, and she stretches every day anyway. WeStretch sits between expensive physiotherapy and generic YouTube stretching videos. It is physio-informed and built around you, and it is simple enough for seniors: an 87-year-old can set it up and start stretching in under 30 seconds. We know because our office timed my mother. Give us 7 days risk free to prove our worth.
