The Importance of Proper Posture

Maintaining good posture is essential for our overall well-being and physical health. Our bodies are designed to function optimally when our weight is evenly distributed, and our spine is properly aligned. However, in today's sedentary lifestyles, we often find ourselves slouching, leaning forward, or adopting other poor postural habits, especially when working at a desk or computer for extended periods.

​

Poor posture can lead to a variety of issues, including back and neck pain, muscle strain, headaches, and even decreased respiratory function. When we slouch or lean forward, we place excessive stress on certain areas of our bodies while underutilizing others, disrupting the natural balance and alignment of our musculoskeletal system.

​

While ergonomic furniture and workstation setups can help promote better posture, they alone cannot guarantee that we maintain proper alignment throughout the day. Our bodies are constantly in motion, and even the most supportive chair cannot account for all the subtle postural adjustments we make.

SpatialCortex MOVA

Thanks to SpatialCortex MOVA, you can leverage advanced sensor data to continuously monitor and actively correct our posture and develop healthier habits.

​

MOVA is a small wearable device that attaches to your upper back or neck area and connects to its dedicated mobile app to track your posture habits over time. It uses sensor technology to detect when you are slouching and can provide gentle reminders to sit or stand upright, to helps learn and adopt best posture during working

​

By combining ergonomic principles with cutting-edge technology, MOVA helps you cultivate a heightened awareness of our posture and make the necessary adjustments to maintain proper alignment throughout the day. This proactive approach not only alleviates immediate discomfort but also lays the foundation for long-term musculoskeletal health and overall well-being.

 Using MOVA technology to learn and adopt good posture through real-time feedback

You can turn on real-time Haptic feedback on the ‘Monitor Posture’ page to receive timely real-time feedback when the posture is compromised.

​

You can also adjust the sensitivity of the tracking and feedback (Low – Mid – High) to a level that is suitable and acceptable to you.
