⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The things you’ve tried to get rid of your back pain so far have left you feeling frustrated and discouraged.
As a postpartum mom, the time you have to focus on stretching is limited. Which is exactly why you’re so tired of strategies
that only leave you with lingering aches and pains.
When it comes to stretching, Googling for answers is getting you nowhere. You’re scouring the internet for advice on how to get
relief, but nothing seems to stick.
If you’ve made your way here, chances are you’re tired of aching all over. You want to be able to move without pain, but stretching
just leaves you feeling overwhelmed and guilty. And even if you did want to improve your flexibility and mobility, you have no idea where to start!
Let me know if this sounds familiar…
You’re totally winging it when it comes to stretching, crossing your fingers and hoping for a pain-free future.
You know there’s a delicate balance in fitting stretching exercises and self-care into a busy schedule, but you don’t have the time (or desire) to figure it out on your own.
You’re worried you’ll have to live with back pain and sleepless nights for the rest of your life.
You have no clue how to relieve your back pain without resorting to medications.
You feel overwhelmed because the demands of motherhood are taking a toll on your mental and physical health.
You feel frustrated because your back pain is preventing you from enjoying your daily activities.
Imagine how it would feel to…
→ Finally have a step-by-step plan for easing back into stretching exercises.
→ Confidently move your body, without excessive pain or discomfort.
→ Love the way you incorporate gentle stretching into your postpartum routine.
→ Have total freedom to move your body, without back pain.
The good news? It doesn’t have to be this hard.
Googling everything/Scrolling through social media is only giving you a surface-level view of how stretching works. If you really want to feel like yourself again, you need to follow “The Trifecta Method” framework that goes along with The Bend & Stretch Program.
I Know How You Feel.
In Fact, I’ve Been Exactly Where You Are.
The Bend & Stretch Program wasn’t created by accident. This program was developed because I went from struggling with back/hip pain, feeling uncomfortable and tired to feeling flexible, energized, and confident in my postpartum body.
While being pregnant with both of my children and then after delivery, I realized just how much my body went through. Having so much tightness in my low back that started during pregnancy, and upper body tightness from pregnancy and nursing, I knew I needed to do something about it. Especially, having mild scoliosis in my thoracic (upper spine) region is always something I need to be cautious of.
I started researching some of the (few) postpartum programs that were on the market at the time…. and I was shocked that nothing seemed beneficial or worth it. Or that I could fit into my busy schedule and do in the comfort of my own home.
So, I set out to create something truly different.
Having over 20 years of experience, including a degree in biology, a minor in chemistry, and being licensed as a physical therapist assistant has allowed me to put together a stretching routine that works.
That’s when The Bend & Stretch Program was created and I knew I had to share the program with you! Every resource in The Bend & Stretch Program is intentionally put together to give you what you need on your postpartum healing journey.

I felt a noticeable difference in my body and mind after just a few weeks. The stretches helped ease my back pain, improved my flexibility, and reduced stress. It has made a huge difference in my postpartum recovery. I’m so grateful for this program.”

Meet Jessica, who went from tight muscles and limited flexibility to increased mobility and improved posture with the help of The Bend & Stretch Program.
Jessica is a busy mom of one. Before joining The Bend & Stretch Program, she was constantly battling lower back pain and tight shoulders. The demands of motherhood, combined with long hours of sitting, had taken a toll on her physical health.
Since completing The Bend & Stretch Program, Jessica has been able to relieve her back pain and improve her overall flexibility. She feels more energized, and she’s able to keep up with her active toddler without any discomfort. Jessica also has been able to reduce her stress levels and improve her sleep quality.
In their words:
“The postpartum stretching course was incredibly helpful! As a busy mom, I often rushed through my stretches, but this course helped me slow down and really feel each stretch. Ashlea’s clear demonstrations made it easy to follow along, even when I was feeling tired. Plus, the stretches were practical and achievable to fit into my hectic schedule. Highly recommend it to any mom looking to take care of herself and feel comfortable again!”

Questions? I’ve gotcha.
How long is the program?
There isn’t a specific time frame for the program and you will have full access to ALL of the stretches when you buy the program. However, Ashlea will be sending you weekly emails over the next 6 weeks giving you additional education and benefits for the each specific body region. If you get overwhelmed easily it’s recommended that you follow along with Ashlea throughout the 6-weeks. No worries if life gets you off track, you have lifetime access to the program and can pick back up where you left off.
When am I able to start stretching?
A few days after giving birth. If you’re feeling tight and sore, and as long as you are performing gentle stretching it’s alright. Be cautious with not going too wide or drastic. However, if you are having pain, DO NOT stretch that day.
How long after having a C-section should I wait before stretching?
You need to wait at least six (6) weeks before performing any major stretching. Waiting to be cleared by your doctor is recommended.
Can I stretch after having tears or an episiotomy?
Yes, as long as you feel up to it and do gentle stretches in the beginning. Waiting at least three (3) weeks after delivery is recommended.
Is it okay to start stretching if I am breastfeeding?
Yes, but you need to be more aware of your body limitations due to the relaxin hormone present in your body. The relaxin hormone loosens ligaments and joints. It can remain elevated for up to 12 months after giving birth, and may be higher for those who breastfeed.
What equipment do I need?
You really don’t need much equipment:
- Yoga mat (even if you are stretching on carpet. The mat will help keep you from slipping)
- Supportive shoes during the standing stretches. (Helps you with stability)
- Stretch strap (to get those good deep stretches).
- Pool noodle.
- Chair for modifying some of the stretches if needed.
- Towel or small pillow (to use as neck or lumbar support if needed).
Where is the best place to stretch?
Anywhere! That is up to you. As long as you have enough room to stand up, lie down flat with about 3 feet on each side.
I’m still feeling tightness/pain after stretching. What should I do?
Soreness is normal. If you experience any pain that worsens or persists, discontinue the stretches and consult with your doctor.
How long will it take to see results?
You may feel some relief immediately, but consistency is key. Aim for once a day, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Then build-up to twice a day.
What if I have health concerns?
Always consult with your primary care physician prior to starting the stretching program.
If I have any questions or concerns, can I contact you?
Yes, please do! Send an email to: movebetter@stretchwithashlea.com OR Fill out contact form at: stretchwithashlea.com
