Why a few slow minutes can help

Occupational guidance recommends brief, regular breaks to change posture. A two-minute stretch is short enough to do often, and doing it often matters more than doing it long.

Each routine uses the same few easy movements: a march, a side bend and a counter or chair stretch. They get the blood moving without making you sweat.

Common questions

How long is the Get Up and Move routine?

2 minutes and 3 timed movements. Left and right sides get equal time, and a voice guides every change.

Do I need a mat or any equipment?

What does ReliefFlow cost?

Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. A card is required to start it, and you pay nothing if you cancel before day 8. After that it is $5.99 a month or $49.99 a year, and you can cancel any time from Manage billing.

Is it safe if something already hurts?

ReliefFlow is general wellness guidance, not medical advice. Keep the movements easy and skip any that cause pain. Use a wall or counter for balance if you feel unsteady. Stop if anything hurts, and talk to a health professional about pain that is sharp, radiating, new or does not ease.
