Habitat at Work (New Zealand)

Anna Kelsey-Sugg

Web based self assessment & exercise tool

I acknowlege upfront that describing anything as fun and educational! wins me no points for cool-ness or originality, but this interactive tool from Habitat at Work (New Zealand) truly is both fun and educational!

It has two sides to it one for office workers and one for industrial workers and outlines environment-specific excersises and information to manage discomfort, pain and injury. As you do the excersise a figure on the screen accompanies you so you can mimick the actions and gauge that you're strecthing for the right amount of time. There are also options to assess yourself and your work station, learn the truth about certain pain myths and learn excersises to get rid of pain in a range of areas.

We like it so much we wish we'd thought of it.

Check it out here.
