Usage and meaning of 仲ばし

Question

While reading I came across a strange usage which none of my dictionaries could decipher.

腰を仲ばし、両手を大きく振りながら、てくてく歩く。

While googling I found the sentence 手を前方に進め上体を倒しながら仲ばします accompanied by a picture of someone doing stretching exercises.

From what I know ば is a particle used for conditions but I don't know how 仲 comes into the picture.

It is a conjugation of the verb 伸【の】ばす. See for example this question for the conjugation. Does the dictionary entry for this verb help? Or are you uncertain about the precise meaning of the phrase 腰を伸ばす? — blutorange, Apr 11 '15 at 15:08
@blutorange You are missing the incorrectness of the kanji. It is not about conjugation. — , Apr 11 '15 at 15:11

「腰を仲ばし」 makes no sense I am afraid. Are you sure it was not

「腰を伸ばし」?

「[腰]{こし}を[伸]{の}ばす」 means "to straighten oneself".

The sentence you found on google is incorrect as well. It should be 「伸ばします」 at the end.
