Some stretches in this routine need extra care. Ask a professional first if you have:
- osteoporosis or low bone density (avoid deep rounding of the back and strong twists)
- a hip replacement (deep hip bending, crossing the legs or turning the knee inward)
- a pregnancy (after about 16 weeks, don’t lie on your back or belly for long, and twist only gently)
- recent back surgery or nerve pain down the leg
Stretch gently and never into pain. StretchUp gives general guidance and is not a medical device.
