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 have no clue how to relieve your back pain without resorting to medications.
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’re totally winging it when it comes to stretching, crossing your fingers and hoping for a pain-free future.
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.

“It Has Made a Huge Difference in my Postpartum Recovery”
As a new mom, I was feeling physically drained and emotionally overwhelmed. I barely had time for myself, let alone exercise. I struggled with back pain and tight hips. 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.

I'm a few years postpartum, and I was starting to feel the tightness and aches creeping back in. The Bend & Stretch Program has been the perfect way to get back on track. The stretches are targeted to all the areas that moms need the most, and they feel so good. I highly recommend this program to any mom, no matter how old your kids are.

SI Joint Pain
As the weeks turned into months, the pain intensified. Sitting for long periods became a test of endurance, getting out of bed felt like a chore, and even walking up and down the stairs sent a jolt through my back region.
-
Right-sided Sciatica + Tingling
I knew this wasn't a normal postpartum discomfort. A sharp jolt ran down my right leg, a bolt of lightning that danced just behind my glute. The tingling started soon after, as a pins-and-needles sensation crept down my calf and into my foot.
-
Upper back pain + Scoliosis
Having scoliosis already, I worried about the extra stress on my spine. The pain seemed to intensify at times, particularly during the later stages. Certain positions, like standing for long periods, became uncomfortable and I found myself constantly shifting to find some relief.
-
Sleepless Nights
This lack of sleep can be incredibly frustrating. My body ached for deep rest, but those precious moments seem to slip away just as quickly as they arrived. I found myself feeling foggy and irritable during the day, and knowing that wasn't my normal. Yearning for a full night's sleep that felt like a distant dream.
Becoming a mom helped me to better understand other postpartum moms and their journey
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 mindful of.
To be honest, I looked online for a comprehensive postpartum stretching program that could fit into my busy schedule and do in the comfort of my own home. I had no success.
So I knew with my physical therapy education that I had to create something to help myself and other postpartum moms.
After months of creating a stretching program, I founded "Stretch With Ashlea", to refocus on gentle movement, release pain + mental strain, and regain lasting mobility and comfort.

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.
