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)
  • glaucoma, or high blood pressure that isn’t well controlled (head below the heart)
  • recent back surgery or nerve pain down the leg
  • a pregnancy (after about 16 weeks, don’t lie on your back or belly for long, and twist only gently)

Stretch gently and never into pain. StretchUp gives general guidance and is not a medical device.
