The report
How many joined and kept going, ache before and after, the share whose ache eased by 2 points or more, energy and sleep. Each department of 5 or more people gets its own line.
Break the Stillness Trap at Work
Two-minute breaks your desk staff will actually take
A 4-week desk-health programme for offices, led by Coach Abdul Rehman. Your people get short, guided movement breaks on their own phones, picked by what hurts. You get a report at the end, with totals only, never names.
- Before week 1
A 45-minute talk for your staff: why sitting hurts, and what 3 minutes a day can do.
- Weeks 1 to 4
Your team follows the plan in the app, with your company’s own code and a short note from Coach each week.
- At the end
A report for HR with totals only, never names, and a results talk with your team.
What your staff get
- A move for what hurts. They tap their sore spot (neck, the afternoon slump, stiffness, stress, heavy legs, sleep or wrists) and a guided 1-minute move starts. Seven plans, each built on published studies.
- Two-minute movement breaks: stand, drink, move. Reminders come only in work hours, and go quiet right after they move, at lunch, and once the day’s breaks are done.
- A 4-week plan that forgives a missed day, from 5 breaks a day in week 1 to 10 by week 3, or a steady 5 for anyone who prefers. A 30-second weekly check-in, and a week-4 review that says honestly whether it’s working.
- Nothing to buy, nothing to carry. It runs on their own phone, at their desk, in work clothes. A seated version of every standing move is built in.
What you get
A short report you can hand to your board, a launch that takes HR about 15 minutes, and Coach with your team from start to finish.
Ready to launch
About 15 minutes of HR’s time: one email with your company’s code and one poster, both written for you. Then three short emails during the four weeks, also written for you.
A coach behind the app
The talk before week 1, a short note each week, and a results talk at the end, where the report is read with your team, not just sent.
What HR sees
“HR will see that the sales team moved more this week. They will never see who didn’t.”
That rule is what makes people press Done instead of deleting the app in week two. It is built into the app, the report and the agreement.
- Each person’s moves and answers stay on their own phone. There is no account.
- In week 4, people who want to be counted send their data file to Coach’s team, never to HR. It is filed under a number, not a name, and deleted 30 days after your report is made.
- Averages only from groups of 5 or more. Smaller departments are put together, so no one can be picked out.
- Never names, anyone’s own answers, or the times of day. No ranking of people, and no use in appraisals.
Why it’s safe to say yes
It helps you meet the law
UK employers must plan screen work so it is broken up by breaks or changes of activity (DSE Regulations 1992, regulation 4), and the EU has the same rule (Directive 90/270/EEC, Article 7). The programme helps with the breaks and supports your DSE training and workstation checks. It doesn’t replace them.
Breaks needn’t cost output
In a field study of data-entry workers, four extra 5-minute breaks a day eased aches and eyestrain with no drop in output (Galinsky 2000).
Safety is built in
Every move says when to stop. People with a new injury, recent surgery, a pregnancy or a heart condition are asked to see a doctor first. Moves that use a chair say to use a steady one that can’t roll. It is general guidance, not medical advice.
Proof you can check
Every plan shows its studies, with links. Then your own four weeks show what changed in your office, in your people’s own answers.

Questions HR and IT ask
How much of our time does it take?
About 15 minutes to launch: one email and one poster, both written for you. Then three short emails during the four weeks, also written for you. Staff install the app and type your company’s code.
Will people still use it after week 2?
Reminders come only in work hours and go quiet right after people move, at lunch, and once the day’s breaks are done. A missed day is forgiven. Your report counts people active each week, not downloads.
Can we see each department?
Yes. Each department gets its own code, and your report shows every department of 5 or more people. Smaller departments are put together, so no one can be picked out. Departments are never ranked.
Does it need admin rights or company accounts?
No. It installs like any app, on a personal or work phone, with no company sign-in and no access to other apps. A small tool can also post the reminders to a Teams or Slack channel.
Is the app in the App Store and Google Play?
Not yet. It is in testing now, and reaches the stores before the first programmes start. About the app
What does it cost?
A fixed price for the four weeks, then a price per person if you keep going. It depends on how many people join, so ask for a quote on a 15-minute call.
