Breakthru: Microbreaks for the Modern Workday
@breakthrume.bsky.social
Breakthru is a digital health platform delivering movement and breathing microbreaks in the flow of the workday, within work tools. 2-minutes to reset mind, mood, and metabolism for workers in all kinds of jobs—backed by science.
One of the most effective interventions for musculoskeletal pain is simply to sit less and move more throughout the day. Movement microbreaks reduce musculoskeletal pain, especially in the neck, wrists, shoulders, and back.

It’s easy to get caught up in the flow of work, to power through, and to neglect to take the breaks you need.  When we skip breaks, stress and fatigue accumulates. Take breaks, and you disrupt that cycle.

40 second microbreaks engaging with photos of nature leads to better post-break work performance. Viewing nature lowers cortisol and blood pressure, and is associated with lower levels of stress, depression, and anxiety.

Sitting reduces the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain, leading to lower energy, and difficulty focusing. Break up that sitting, and you gain energy, focus, and vigor, and improve cognitive function and performance.

When we neglect to take breaks, stress accumulates. And over time, that stress can grow into burnout. Microbreaks act as a circuit break, reducing stress, preventing burnout, and improving productivity, focus, and motivation.
