About
The Good Move Philosophy
The Good Move ethos is to encourage, enhance and enable daily movement to provide access to the health and wellbeing benefits associated with this practice. Designed to be performed in mere minutes and easily integrated into a daily routine to promote an achievable goal for a busy lifestyle.
The Good Move concept was developed through experience in treating patients, occupational rehabilitation consulting and workplace injury management. A simple approach to decrease the health risks associated with a sedentary lifestyle and unlock a healthier version of you.
the science behind movement breaks
Improved Physical Health: Sitting for extended periods increases the risk of musculoskeletal issues, cardiovascular problems and other metabolic diseases. A movement break can lower these risks by improving circulation, reducing stiffness and relieving strain.
A study in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health found that breaking up sitting time significantly improves comfort and energy levels.
Boosted Mental Health: Regular movement can reduce stress, anxiety, improve focus and enhance mood.
According to the American Psychological Association, even shorty burst of physical activity can increase dopamine and serotonin levels, improving mental clarity and resilience.
Enhanced Productivity: Movement recharges focus and creativity, with research showing a 20% increase in problem solving ability after short activity breaks.
