restretching
Extending once more
Restretching is the act of stretching something again, typically after it has loosened, shrunk, or returned to a previous shape.
Canvas on a frame may need restretching when it sags.
Muscles benefit from restretching after a break.
The word implies a prior stretching that has become insufficient: The shoes need restretching after sitting in the closet all winter.
