 Sitting at a computer for hours on end can cause back pain, neck and shoulder aches, and RSI, particularly if your posture is poor
Of course back pain or neck ache can have many other causes, from whiplash to sports or lifting injuries, and even stress. Working at a computer for long hours can 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
Even 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 tool* 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 Professional Edition
