How Posture Pomodoro Works

Posture Pomodoro is a posture app that helps you avoid pain and stiffness from long hours at your desk. It follows the Pomodoro method of working in short, focused blocks with built-in breaks. During those breaks, the app guides you through simple stretches and movements to keep your body loose, mobile, and comfortable.

The Idea Behind It

Sitting for hours without moving causes muscles to tighten and joints to stiffen. Your hips shorten, your shoulders round forward, and your back starts to ache. Posture Pomodoro helps you break that pattern by weaving movement into your normal workflow. You don’t need to change how you work, just how often you move.

1. Work in Focused Sessions

You start a focus session, usually about 25 minutes, and dive into your work. The timer keeps track of your session so you can stay present and avoid checking the clock. Once the time is up, it’s time to reset and move.

2. Move During the Break

When your focus timer ends, Posture Pomodoro guides you through a short break. Instead of checking your phone or staying seated, you’ll be shown light movements and stretches that target the muscles that get tight from sitting. These include your neck, shoulders, back, and hips.

3. Repeat the Routine

You repeat this rhythm throughout the day: work, stretch, reset. The breaks keep your muscles active and your posture strong. Over time, it becomes second nature. You’ll notice less pain, more energy, and a body that feels better supported at the desk.

Why It Works

Pain from desk work isn’t caused by bad posture alone, it’s from staying still too long. Posture Pomodoro helps you keep moving so your muscles stay engaged and your joints stay healthy. The more consistent you are, the better your body feels.

  • ✅ Reduces back, neck, and shoulder pain
  • ✅ Keeps your body flexible and strong
  • ✅ Helps build healthier movement habits
