Stretch is a system designed to help office workers prevent sedentary back pain. Most office workers are plagued by back pain in their lives. Back pain caused by sedentary work can manifest itself at the end of the workday. It uses data analysis of workers' working hours to urge users to use stretching bars for exercise. Users use the stretch bar in a sitting position to prevent back pain caused by sedentary users. The application recommends additional movements to improve back muscle stretching based on the number of times the stretching bar is recorded.
