Stretchly - The break time reminder app. Open-source enthusiast, connecting the dots in Product teams. CV with contact info. How StretchIt Works. “It's been 90 days since I started working on my bow pose and back flexibility with StretchIt app, stretching 30-45 minutes a day, 4-6 days a week. I can now pull my legs in and up much higher (lower back flexibility), my hands can grip lower on my feet, my chest is more lifted and my shoulders can be pulled back more in the flip grip (no small feat for me!)”.
