Objective: This study aimed to assessment the effect of stretching exercises guided by a prototype app on neck pain in secretaries. Quantitative approach and case series study. A sociodemographic profile questionaire and the Visual Analogue Scale were accomplished to identify pain intensity. Result: Considering four participants in this study, all had fourty hours a week of work, with a mean age of 36.25 ± 8.65, single and white ethnicity 75%. The average pain intensity of the research participants before the intervention was 8.5±1.29 points, reducing to 4±0.81 points in the final evaluation.
