Question 1

Is Break the Stillness Trap just another stretching book?

Accepted Answer

No. Break the Stillness Trap is a clinically-informed four-part operating system, not a collection of stretches. It diagnoses the specific physiological damage caused by prolonged sitting — across metabolism, cardiovascular function, posture, fascia, and the nervous system — and delivers Body Resets, Mind Resets, Fuel Resets, and a Habit Architect framework to reverse each damage pattern simultaneously. Generic stretching content addresses one symptom at a time. This system addresses the root.

Question 2

Is this book suitable for athletes or already-fit individuals?

Accepted Answer

This book is not designed for athletes or those whose work involves regular movement. Athletes do not sit for 6-10 hours under deadline pressure with their spine compressed and nervous system loaded. Break the Stillness Trap is engineered for the specific physiological damage pattern of occupational sitting — damage that no gym session can fully undo, because the gym does not address the eight hours of stillness that preceded it.

Question 3

Who is Break the Stillness Trap written for?

Accepted Answer

The book is written for executives, founders, remote workers, and desk-bound professionals who sit 6-10 hours per day and are experiencing the cumulative cost of that lifestyle: chronic lower back pain, neck tension, Tech Neck, afternoon cognitive collapse, poor sleep, low energy, and mounting burnout. It is precision work for people whose bodies are being slowly broken by their desks.

Question 4

What is the four-part Reset system?

Accepted Answer

The Reset system consists of four interlocking pillars. Body Resets are biomechanical interventions targeting the physical damage of sitting. Mind Resets are nervous-system regulation techniques for cortisol and cognitive fatigue. Fuel Resets are nutrition and hydration strategies that prevent the 3 PM energy crash at its physiological root. The Habit Architect is a behaviour-design framework that makes all three Resets automatic within an existing workflow — without willpower or extra time.

Question 5

What is the Renaissance Protocol?

Accepted Answer

The Renaissance Protocol is the structured 28-day implementation plan that closes Break the Stillness Trap. It is a week-by-week deployment roadmap that tells the reader exactly which Body, Mind, and Fuel Resets to apply, when, and in what sequence — so the entire system becomes automatic before the month is over.

Question 6

Do I need a gym, equipment, or workout clothes?

Accepted Answer

None of the above. The Resets are 1-to-3 minute interventions designed to be executed in regular work clothes, at a desk, without any equipment. The system runs parallel to the working day rather than competing with it for time.

Question 7

What makes Break the Stillness Trap different from other desk-health content?

Accepted Answer

Three things. First, it is built on 84 peer-reviewed citations from Harvard Health, Mayo Clinic, OSHA, and the NIH — not personal opinion. Second, it names seven distinct desk-body damage patterns (the Crumpling Frame, Dying Fire, Sticky Wetsuit, Overheating Command Center, Kink in the Hose, Disrupted Repair Crew, and Tense Typist) and delivers profile-specific protocols for each. Third, it integrates body, mind, fuel, and habit architecture into a single closed-loop system rather than treating one symptom at a time.
