Recently I have come across a useful App for my iPhone called Stretch Relief by Raj Applications.

Currently on special at 99 cents (half price), Stretch Relief is a well designed and attractive App which helps me to do a wide range of stretches at any time during the day. You can find it in the Apple Store here.

These days I regularly exercise (Martin Day’s Fighting Fit Program) every morning (at home), do skipping every afternoon and fit in some walking approximately 4-5 days every week. Stretching is handy for those long stretches – excuse the pun – at my computer. The Stretch Relief App has taught me about stretches I had no idea about. In fact some are unusual.

With my knowledge of the body mind relationship (how the psyche responds when the body is manipulated) I can see that some of the suggested stretches will have significant psychological benefits also, though you may not notice them.

The Stretch Relief App is very easy to use and you can set the options for between 4 and 8 stretches per set. Then you press the Stretch button (see image) and the first stretch appears. Each Stretch is labeled, has an example image and instructions. When complete you press an arrow to go to the next stretch in the set. Sets vary, so next time you start the App you will see different suggestions.

I quote from the developer’s website:

…unlike the other stretch apps in the App Store, Stretch Relief has stretches designed for you to do at your desk in your office attire, so you can feel comfortable stretching in your cubicle or when you’re on the go.

Stretching regularly is a great investment in your health and will help you get more done, and to a higher standard.

You may find that doing the suggested stretches helps with:

• Back pain relief
• Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI)
• Stress
• Aches
• Tension

In summary; I like this App a lot and investing in health is a good thing.

Here’s some food for thought…..spend time NOW looking after your health rather than time later being ill, or in hospital even.
