Helping desk workers combat neck and lower back pain
Hability is a wellness app for desk workers that helps combat the effects of sedentary behavior. Through regular reminders, it prompts users to do quick, effective exercises throughout the day, to increase activity levels and reduce neck and back pain.
Hello Product Hunt Community! 👋
I am thrilled to introduce Hability, an app built specifically for desk workers to stay active and pain-free throughout the workday. 🚶♂️💻
As a physiotherapist (aka physical therapist), I grew tired of hearing so many patients complain about neck and lower back pain caused by prolonged sitting and inactivity at work. In theory, the solution to this problem is simple, move more, sit less! However, in reality, this is not so easy to achieve. Work demands meant that workers often faced the same barriers preventing them from achieving this- they forget, they don't have time, or they don't know what exercises to do. That's why we created Hability—to provide a simple solution that helps people overcome these barriers, and to move more during the day, right from their desks.
Hability sends timely reminders for short, effective exercises designed by expert physiotherapists, specifically targeting the muscles and joints most affected by desk work. Whether you’re in the middle of a meeting or engrossed in your tasks, these guided exercises help combat the effects of sedentary behavior, reduce pain, and improve overall posture and wellness.
Hability is totally customizable to suit your schedule, your needs and your workspace. You can also track your engagement and progress in the analytics section!
We’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback! Your support and suggestions mean everything as we continue improving Hability to help more desk workers live healthier, pain-free lives. 💪😊
Thank you for checking us out, and we hope you stay healthy and active with Hability!
