Your desk is quietly wearing you down.

Your head drifts toward the screen. By 3pm your shoulders are up by your ears and your lower back feels like a plank. You know you should stretch, but you are not sure what to do, or whether it is worth the time.

Mo keeps it small enough to actually happen: one short routine, one clear step at a time, at your desk or on the living room floor.

How Mo works

  1. Answer a few questions

    Tell Mo where it aches and how much time you have. It takes about a minute.

  2. Get your path

    Mo builds a learning path around your neck, back or jaw, one level at a time.

  3. Move 5 minutes a day

    Follow Mo move by move with a timer. Keep your streak and watch your pain check-ins improve.

Everything you need, nothing you do not

A learning path that never runs out

Routines are grouped into units and levels, such as Wake up your neck. Pick 5 minutes today and Mo remembers where you left off.

Guided player with a timer

Each move has simple steps, a clear rep count and a countdown ring. Pause, skip and go at your own pace.

See how you feel over time

Check in on your pain, then watch the chart and your streak calendar fill in. Small progress is easier to keep when you can see it.

Streaks and a sloth that grows with you

Every session earns XP and leaves for Mo's room. Keep the flame alive and unlock achievements along the way.

Pro

Voice coach

Keep your eyes off the screen. Mo coaches you out loud through every move, so you can just breathe and follow along.

Why a few minutes of exercise is worth it

The World Health Organization's 2023 guideline on chronic low back pain recommends exercise programmes as one of its non-surgical treatments.

WHO guideline for non-surgical management of chronic primary low back pain in adults, 2023

A 2021 Cochrane review found that exercise therapy probably reduces pain and improves function in chronic low back pain, compared with no treatment or usual care.

Hayden et al., Exercise therapy for chronic low back pain, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2021

These sources are about exercise in general, not about Mo specifically. Mo is a wellness app, not a treatment.
