Both
Posture Home Edition and
PostureMinder Professional Edition provide intelligent posture and break
reminders, plus stretch exercises and ergonomic advice, to help you work safer
and smarter
There are many causes of back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and other
musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), ranging from sports injuries to sleeping on
an unsuitable mattress.
Using a computer has been shown to be a risk factor in developing such
problems, or can make existing problems worse. This is why people who use
computers regularly at work should receive ergonomic training under the
UK Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 or
corresponding regulations in the EU and USA
Although ergonomic training usually covers everything we need to know about
safe computer working, the fact is that, even if we've received training, many
of us forget all about our posture when we're engrossed in a task.
The first posture reminder is when we begin to feel aches and pains, or
headaches and fatigue, by which point we've already started to damage
ourselves.
 PostureMinder can help you to protect your
health and performance by reminding you about good posture and healthy working
habits, not only when you've just been trained, but all the time you spend
at a computer. By continually checking for bad posture, it acts as your posture
conscience, reminding you when you've been sitting in a
consistently poor posture for an extended period
PostureMinder is not intended to encourage you to sit rigidly in a fixed good
posture, since movement is vital to protect yourself from tension and
fatigue. What it will do is help you to avoid sitting fixed in a poor posture
for long periods
PostureMinder's other features similarly promote healthy working habits on
a day to day basis. See the specific version for more details:
