đź’¬ Communications Toolkit: V-minder: A Desk-Based Movement Program

Overview

V-minder is a tool for your desk-based workforce that helps improve productivity and reduce pain levels. The Windows desktop application prompts employees to follow along to short, guided movement videos that help minimize stiffness and improve mobility.

These 1-minute, coach-led videos reduce the negative effects of long-term sitting by focusing on proper breathing and dynamic movement.
