Does this sound familiar?

A routine that actually sticks to your day.

  • Relief where it actually hurts

    Every exercise is chosen and sequenced by a physiotherapist to target exactly what's bothering you.

  • Like having a physio right there with you

    Every session is a guided video with commentary, so you're never guessing whether the movement is correct.

  • 330 sessions, so it never feels the same twice

    A library big enough that your routine keeps changing instead of repeating itself.

  • Your AirPods catch the moment you slouch

    The motion sensor in your AirPods tracks how you hold your head and lets you know the moment you start to slouch.

From your answers to relief that's actually yours.

Tell Bavelu what's bothering you, and get a plan built around exactly that.

  1. Just a few questions

    Where it hurts, how much, and for how long. Nothing more.

  2. A plan that's actually yours

    Built around your answers, not a program everyone else gets too.

  3. However much time you've got

    A shorter session on a busy day, a longer one when you've got time.

  4. Press play, then tick off the day

    Follow the physio on video, finish, and watch your week fill up.

Loved by people who sit all day.

From the people who tested Bavelu before launch, in their own words.

  • Finally slouch-free at my desk

    I started a few weeks ago after months of neck pain from working from home. The sessions are short enough that I actually do them, and the AirPods reminder genuinely stops me from slouching all day.
    Tomáš K.Remote developer

  • Short sessions, real relief

    I was skeptical that 5 minutes could do anything, but the physio-guided videos actually work. My lower back doesn't lock up after long client calls anymore.
    Jana N.Project manager

  • Exactly the plan I needed

    I answered a few questions about my lower back and shoulders, and the sessions actually target those areas — not some generic routine everyone gets.
    Filip R.Consultant

  • The AirPods reminder is genius

    I didn't expect it to actually work, but it catches me slouching every single time — even mid-call.
    David S.Software engineer

  • My back doesn't lock up anymore

    Teaching online means hours in the same chair every day. A few minutes with Bavelu between lessons made more difference than I expected, and I don't dread the afternoon classes anymore.
    Veronika D.Online tutor

  • I finally stick with it

    I've tried every stretching app out there and always quit after a week. Bavelu is the first one where I don't have to think about what to do — it just tells me, and I'm done in under 10 minutes.
    Martin H.Busy dad

  • My physio actually noticed a difference

    I mentioned at my last check-up that I'd started doing short daily sessions, and she could immediately tell in how I was moving. That felt like real proof it's working, not just a good feeling.
    Lucie B.Marketing lead

  • Stopped living with knots in my neck

    Didn't realise how much tension I was carrying until it started easing off.
    Petra V.HR manager

  • Easy enough that I never skip it

    No deciding, no thinking — just press play between tasks.

Why a few minutes a day work.

  1. 65% of people who see a doctor about back pain still have it a year later. Waiting rarely pays off.

  2. Low back pain is the number one cause of disability worldwide.

  3. Two minutes of exercise on workdays eased neck and shoulder pain in office workers. Short and regular works.

We couldn't find an app that actually fixed it, so we built one.

Jan and Vojtěch spent years sitting at a computer all day, and felt it in their necks and backs every evening. Physiotherapy helped, but the pain always crept back the moment life got busy again.

So they teamed up with real physiotherapists to build Bavelu: a way to get proper, guided relief without needing an appointment, a studio, or more willpower than anyone actually has.

Questions

Anything else? Write to info@bavelu.com.

Where can I get Bavelu?

Bavelu is on the App Store, for iPhone.

Do I need AirPods to use Bavelu?

No. The exercise plan works without them. If you do have AirPods with head tracking, Bavelu can also tell when you start slouching and gently remind you to sit up.

Is Bavelu available on Android?

Not yet. Bavelu is coming to iPhone first.

How much time do I need each day?

Most sessions run 5 to 7 minutes, and you can usually pick a shorter or longer version depending on how much time you've got.

Do I need any equipment?

No. Every exercise works with just a chair or a mat. Nothing else.

Who designs the exercises?

Real physiotherapists design and film every exercise, led by Mgr. Lukáš Kučera, a physiotherapist with 13 years of practice. Nothing is AI-generated.

How is this different from a generic stretching app?

Your plan is built from a short questionnaire about what's actually bothering you, not a one-size-fits-all program everyone else gets too.

Is Bavelu a substitute for physiotherapy?

No. Bavelu isn't a substitute for medical care and it is not a medical device. If you have a specific injury or diagnosed condition, or your pain is severe, sudden or getting worse, check with a doctor or physiotherapist before starting.
