DALLAS, March 21,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, in recognition of
National Single Parent Day, dating app Stir is teaming up
with Therabody, the wellness technology leaders behind
the Theragun percussive massage device, to provide single parents
with much-needed relief from back pain - with tools, tips, support
and encouragement to "get back out there".
There are more than 20 million single parents in the U.S., and
studies show that single parents are significantly more likely to
suffer from back pain and back injuries than non-single
parents*.
"This Single Parents Day, we want to help our community get back
out there. As many parents know, it's hard to feel your best self
when your back is hurting ," said Jennifer
Spector, VP of Brand at Stir. "Single Parents are doing
double duty by taking on the full load of lifting kids, folding
strollers, carrying armfuls of toys, and many other tasks that can
really take a toll. This partnership with Therabody is paving the
way for less pain and more pleasure. Stir has your back (no matter
how you throw it out!)"
The partnership, which kicks off today on National Single Parent
Day, includes an exclusive Therabody product discount for Stir
members*, and educational video content from Dr. Alex VanDerschelden, a skilled chiropractic
professional and social media sensation.
When it comes to single-parent back woes, Dr. Alex has some tips
for daily stretches:
(1) • Open up your lower back: Cross one leg
over the other while seated with your back in a neutral position.
Do each side for about 10-15 seconds and repeat for 3-5 sets. For
bonus points, use the Theragun Sense on the muscle you're working
(your glute on the side of your body with the leg crossing over).
You could try this at work, sitting at the table with your kids
eating a meal or watching an arts and crafts project.
(2) • The Cobra Stretch: Lying on the ground,
lift your upper body up off the ground so that your head and chest
are pulling back in the same motion a Cobra snake would make. This
is easy for parents who are playing on the ground with their kids
using toys, building blocks, etc. Perform this stretch 10-15
seconds and repeat for 3-5 sets to get a great back stretch in
daily.
"The workout called parenting" can take a toll on the body;
doubly so for single parents," said John
Solomon, CMO of Therabody, Inc. "We're glad to be able to
offer The Stir members some great ways to relieve back pain,
improve circulation and ease soreness with Theragun Sense."
In addition to the partnership, Stir is also launching "massage
mode" that turns your Stir App into a massage device to support
back health while dating. Single parents can chat, flirt, and make
plans for a date IRL with Stir's calendar feature, all while
tending to their aches and pains.
