The MOVAO Mini Isn’t Just for the Bed — It Works GREAT on the Floor Too!
Want a stronger, more stable sit-to-stand pattern but prefer exercising on the floor or a therapy mat? The MOVAO Mini gives you that flexibility.
When used on the floor, the MOVAO Mini provides:
✔ Support Straps to keep your body positioned correctly
✔ A Pelvic Stabilization Strap to prevent sliding and improve push-through power
✔ A secure, low-profile setup that protects delicate skin
✔ Up to 65 lbs of progressive resistance for real strength gains
Whether you're working on post-surgery recovery, MS-related weakness, or general mobility training, the Mini adapts to wherever you are.
Because strength building shouldn’t depend on standing — it should depend on access, safety, and consistency.
And that’s exactly what the MOVAO Mini delivers. More for information or to purchase click here ➡https://www.themovao.com/

Movement is medicine — so let’s make it count.

When you’re in bed, recovering from illness or weakness, movement alone isn’t enough. Your muscles need resistance to rebuild and regain strength.

Research shows that in patients who are immobilised, bed-bound or critically ill:
• A leg-press style resistance intervention prevented knee-extensor muscle loss during 20 days of bed rest — the control group lost ~7.8% of muscle cross-sectional area while the resistance group didn’t.
• Progressive resistance training in frail hospitalised older adults led to ~74% average improvement in one-rep max over 10 weeks — and better functional outcomes.
• Passive motion alone (cycling or just moving the legs) is not enough to preserve or restore strength in many cases.

That’s why the MOVAO Mini is designed with real, measurable resistance. It’s compact, portable, in-bed friendly — but it doesn’t compromise on load. Because strength matters.

If you’re helping someone recover — from surgery, illness, extended bed rest or ICU stay — give them more than movement. Give them a device that builds strength. Because movement is medicine — but resistance makes it work.

Rebuilding Strength with Evidence-Based Medicine.
When someone is too weak to stand, every day of bedrest accelerates muscle loss and slows the journey back to independence. The MOVAO Mini was designed to change that—built on decades of muscle strength research and the proven principles therapists rely on every day.

Specificity:
Studies show that training must mimic the functional task you want to restore. The MOVAO Mini simulates the sit-to-stand movement pattern—the most essential action for regaining independence. Even from bed, users can train the exact motion and muscle pattern required to rise again.

Progressive Overload -The Gold Standard in Strength Science:

Muscles only grow when challenged. The MOVAO Mini delivers 6 progressive levels up to 65 lbs of resistance, following the same research-backed principles used in physical therapy and strength conditioning. This allows muscles to adapt, rebuild, and regain power safely.

Grounded in science. Designed for real life. To purchase or learn more ➡https://www.themovao.com/

The MOVAO Mini is the bridge from bedrest to standing again from the ICU to home rehab.

Every day on bedrest, or living with limited mobility, means another day of losing strength. It happens fast, and rebuilding it can feel overwhelming. That’s why resistance matters. Even small amounts of consistent resistance training can help maintain muscle, improve circulation, support joint health, and protect overall function.

The MOVAO Mini was designed exactly for this challenge. With up to 65 lbs of progressive resistance, it empowers patients, caregivers, and clinicians to set measurable goals, rebuild strength safely, and fight the muscle loss that comes with immobility, all right from the bed or chair.

Simple. Portable. Effective.
Because movement is medicine.

From an idea to reality.
