Break the Stillness Trap on your phone

Short moves from the book, picked for what bothers you: your neck and back, your wrists, your legs or your energy. The app reminds you on workdays and helps you keep going.

Coming soon for iPhone and Android

The app’s Home screen on a weekday morning: the next reset for the neck and upper back, and today’s targets

How it works

  1. Find your pattern

    A few quick questions show which of the book’s seven desk patterns is yours, and where it shows: neck, back, wrists, legs, energy or sleep.

  2. Move for 1 to 3 minutes

    Short guided moves you do at your desk, in work clothes, each with a video. No gym, no equipment, and a seated version of every standing move.

  3. Keep it going

    Reminders on your workdays only, the book’s 4-week plan, and a medal each week for showing up. Never for pushing through pain.

Break the Stillness Trap

Every move comes from the book

The app turns the book’s resets and its four-week plan into a few minutes a day, from the same 84 cited sources.

For companies

Break the Stillness Trap at Work: a 4-week programme for teams who sit all day. Your people get the app; you get one report at the end, with totals only, never a name.

Questions

When will the app be out?

We’re testing it now with a small group. Join the waiting list and you’ll hear the day it’s in the stores.

Does it replace the book?

No. The book explains why sitting still does what it does and how to undo it. The app helps you do the moves every day. They work best together.

What happens to my data?

Your moves and check-ins stay on your phone. There is no account. If your company runs the programme, it sees totals only, never your name.

Is it medical advice?

No. It’s a wellness app with short, gentle moves. Never move into pain, and see a doctor for pain that doesn’t go away.
