🧠 Why It Matters

Consistent Movement Lowers Inflammation

"Movement is anti-inflammatory medicine. But too much too soon can backfireβ€”that's why we track how you feel before, during, and after each session."

πŸ”₯ Reduces Inflammation

Regular, gentle movement helps reduce systemic inflammation and supports your body's natural healing processes. Studies show even light exercise can significantly lower inflammatory markers in IBD patients.

πŸ’– Improves Digestion

Movement stimulates healthy digestion, improves gut motility, and can help reduce UC symptoms like cramping and urgency. Gentle exercise promotes better blood flow to digestive organs.

🧠 Boosts Mental Health

Exercise releases endorphins and reduces cortisol levels, helping manage UC-related anxiety and depression. Regular movement can significantly improve quality of life and emotional resilience.

🎯 Bonus: Movement Challenges

Gentle motivation with UC-specific progress tracking

πŸ“… Weekly Challenges

"Gentle Movement" challenges tailored to your UC phase. From "3 Days of Deep Breathing" during flares to "Walk 10K Steps" in maintenance mode.

πŸ† Progress Badges

Earn badges for consistency, improvement, and milestones. Track mood improvement scores and celebrate wins that matter for UC management.

πŸ‘₯ Share Progress

Share your movement victories with your care team, support group, or UC community. Celebrate progress with people who understand the journey.

Start Moving with Confidence

Every step, stretch, and strength exercise is designed to support your UC healingβ€”never to stress your system.
