As well as being used preventatively, Postureminder can also help your recovery from existing back pain.

Back pain skeleton image Whether you're experiencing minor discomfort in your spine from time to time at your computer, suffer regular bouts of backache, or have serious symptoms that you're receiving treatment for, Postureminder can help you to improve your posture. Better posture will usually speed your recovery and reduce the risk of the pain coming back.

If you're already receiving physiotherapy, chiropractic or osteopathic treatment, Postureminder is a drug-free complement to these therapies that will help you to follow the advice of your healthcare professional on a day-to-day basis.

Even after disk or other spinal surgery, or in conjunction with long-term conditions such as ankylosing spondylitis, Postureminder can help your to achieve better posture and adopt healthy working patterns to assist you in managing your recovery or condition*.

Of course, if you don't currently suffer any ill-effects from using your computer, that doesn't mean you should ignore your posture and working habits. Damage and wear-and-tear can take years to accumulate to the point where you start to suffer back pain.

* Always discuss the use of Postureminder with your healthcare professional if you have undergone surgery or have a long-term condition to get advice on what posture and working habits you should adopt. Postureminder is a software tool to help computer users to improve their posture and adopt working patterns that are generally accepted as being healthy, but it is not a medical device.

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"
