Prevent back pain with Postureminder

Sitting in bad postures at a computer for hours on end can cause back pain, neck and shoulder aches, and RSI. Most poor postures result in your back being unsupported, which increases the pressue between the disks of your spine. This pressure leads to inflammation and pain.

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 pre-existing problems worse.

That's where Postureminder comes in

Using Postureminder to prevent back pain through better posture By helping you to improve how you sit, and reminding you to take regular breaks, our award-winning software will help you to reduce your risk of developing back pain and other health conditions.

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 suffering, Postureminder can also be used to help treat back pain and reduce the risk of it coming back.

Michael van Straten, Health Journalist of the Year:
"Backache is one of the most common reasons for lost days at work and it's also a frequent problem for young children. Latest research shows that long periods at a computer can cause backache, pain in the neck, headaches and RSI...Around 32% of us sits for 10 or more hours each day, slouching in front of PCs and TVs. This bad posture is the trigger for back pain. [This] award-winning system will change how we all sit at computers. PostureMinder is new software that watches while you work. It sends webcam messages if you slouch, shows how to set up workstations and tells when you need a break"

Leading Physiotherapist Christopher M. Norris MSc MCSP MBAcC:
"Norris Associates have been providing occupational health services to bluechip industries in the Northwest for over 20 years now. During that time we have worked with clients such as Jaguar, Shell, Kelloggs. One of the factors which is the source of many painful conditions in office workers is prolonged sitting at a computer. This constant low level stress causes muscle fatigue, neck and shoulder pain, and back conditions. To combat this type of occupational stress our physiotherapists often recommend taking regular breaks and performing simple stretching exercises to prevent accumulated stress in the body tissues. Well, now we have found an excellent software program which encourages users to do just these things"
