 Sitting in bad postures at a computer for
hours on end can cause back pain, neck and shoulder aches, and RSI
Of course back pain can have many other sources, from whiplash, to sports or
lifting injuries, to stress. Working at a computer for long hours can also make
these problems worse
That's where PostureMinder comes in
By helping you to improve how you sit, and reminding you to take regular
breaks, our award-winning software will help you recover from existing back
pain and reduce your risk of it returning in the future
How? Simply by providing friendly, targeted reminders whenever you sit badly
It's not rocket science! We all know how we should sit (or can very quickly
be taught), but most of us have developed poor posture and working habits over
many years. PostureMinder is the friendly nudge in the right direction that
most of us need
If you're already receiving physiotherapy, chiropractic or osteopathic
treatment, PostureMinder is a natural, drug-free complement to these therapies
that will help you follow the advice of your healthcare professional and speed
your recovery
What back pain sufferers are saying about PostureMinder:
"I'd been having back problems for three or four years and even had to
take time off work when it got too bad. I've also had physio to try to help
alleviate the pain. Since I started using PostureMinder my back pain has
definitely improved. If I change desks or work on a different computer the pain
comes back again, so I know it is definitely working"
Liz, Software Tester, Manchester
"I have had chiropractic for the last 5 years consistently, physio and
infrared heat treatment. [PostureMinder] seemed like what I'd been looking
for a long time. I have found it the perfect way for me to self-correct my
sitting position and keep on top of my back problems proactively. I use it
every day and I actually notice the difference if I'm not using it."

How PostureMinder works:
 PostureMinder is simple, friendly,
easy-to-use software that helps you improve your sitting posture and working
habits
Our key award-winning innovation is to use any off-the-shelf webcam to
continually check your posture and provide targeted reminders precisely when
you need them - whenever you're sitting in a damaging posture
These friendly reminders help you to reduce the time you spend in damaging
postures, so you'll feel better whilst using your computer and gradually
get in the habit of sitting better
If you don't have a webcam, you'll still benefit from regular, friendly
reminders to think about your posture
The PostureMinder package includes comprehensive ergonomic training materials
to help you learn about good posture and healthy working, and assess and
improve your current working environment
It also includes break reminders and micro-break* reminders to encourage you to
adopt healthier, more effective working patterns that reduce your risk of
developing back pain and other health problems whilst also being shown to
improve your productivity
Video-guided stretch exercises advise you on relieving fatigue and tension - do
them during breaks, or whenever you feel like it
The hydration tracker* helps you keep tabs on what you've drunk during each
working day, encouraging you to drink more water and less tea, coffee or
carbonated drinks
All PostureMinder's features are fully customisable to suit your needs and
working style. You can also personalise PostureMinder's appearance by
changing colours and fonts, or adding background photos, to make the reminders
more friendly still
* micro-breaks and hydration tracker only in Business Edition
