Why Push Through the Heels When Using the MOVAO Mini?
✔ Uses the right muscles – Activates the glutes and hamstrings, the powerful muscles needed for standing, walking, and daily activities.
✔ Protects the knees – Heel pressure keeps the knee in safer alignment and reduces strain.
✔ Builds real strength – Engages the muscles that matter most for mobility and independence.
✔ Supports healthy walking mechanics – Reinforces the same movement pattern used for standing and taking steps.
✔ Improves stability – Helps keep the foot secure so the exercise feels smoother and safer.

Whether you're caring for someone at home or in a facility, this small tip helps ensure each session is safe, effective, and meaningful.

Movement is medicine, one press at a time.

Before Surgery: Prehab
Getting stronger before surgery helps your body recover faster after surgery.
Why Prehab Helps:
Builds strength so you bounce back more quickly
Reduces complications like weakness, balance problems, and long hospital stays
Keeps you moving even if you can’t stand easily
Boosts confidence before your procedure

The MOVAO Mini lets you strengthen your legs while lying in bed,
using gentle resistance that’s safe and controlled.

After Surgery: Rehab
Rehab helps your body heal, regain mobility, and return to daily activities.
Why Rehab Matters:
Fights muscle loss that happens quickly during bedrest
Helps you stand and walk sooner
Improves circulation, reduces stiffness, and decreases pain
Gets you home faster by helping you reach mobility goals

The MOVAO Mini uses up to 65 lbs of adjustable resistance,
helping rebuild strength safely—even when you aren’t ready to stand.

How the MOVAO Mini Helps You Recover
Easy to use in bed, on the floor, or from a recliner
Only 9 lbs—light and portable
Strengthens muscles needed for standing, walking, and stairs
Designed for people who feel weak, unsteady, or unable to stand
Helps keep you active from hospital → rehab → home

Ever wondered why we call it the MOVAO Mini?
Because it was designed to do BIG things—in the smallest, lightest, most portable form possible. At just 9 lbs, the Mini empowers patients to rebuild strength anywhere: in bed, in a chair, or at home. It’s the personal, take-anywhere version of our larger clinical system—the MOVAO Bari.

But here’s the real story…

Hospitals and inpatient facilities rely on the MOVAO Bari to help medically complex patients—especially those coming out of the ICU—bridge the gap from bedrest to standing again. Therapists use the Bari every day to restore sit-to-stand strength, prevent muscle loss, and accelerate functional recovery.

But what happens when therapists aren’t present?
What about evenings, weekends, and—most importantly—when patients go home?

That’s where the MOVAO Mini changes everything.
It gives families and caregivers a safe, evidence-based way to maintain strength, continue progress, and prevent decline between therapy sessions and after discharge. The Mini ensures that recovery doesn’t pause when therapy hours end.

Together, the Bari and the Mini create the full-circle solution:
From ICU → acute care → inpatient rehab → home, MOVAO gives every patient the tools to keep moving forward. Because movement is medicine, and recovery shouldn’t depend on being in the hospital. For more information or to purchase visit www.themovao.com

The MOVAO Mini was designed with one intention:
to give every patient the chance to rebuild strength safely, effectively, and independently—right from bed.

Why clinicians choose the MOVAO Mini:
• Evidence-based strength training for patients who cannot stand
• Up to 65 lbs of progressive resistance for true muscle rebuilding
• Simulates the sit-to-stand pattern—the foundation of independent mobility
• Lightweight & portable (9 lbs) for hospital, rehab, and home use
• Support straps + pelvic stabilization for proper alignment and safer training
• Ideal for ICU recovery, post-operative care, neurological conditions, and general deconditioning

When your workout or physical therapy session is over, recovery really begins — and a massage gun can make all the difference.

A few minutes of targeted percussion therapy can help:
• Reduce muscle soreness after exercise
• Increase blood flow to tight or fatigued muscles
• Release tension in stubborn trigger points
• Enhance flexibility and range of motion
• Speed up recovery so you can stay consistent with your goals

Whether you’re rebuilding strength, restoring mobility, or pushing toward new fitness milestones, a massage gun delivers relief exactly where you need it — right when you need it.

Movement is medicine… and recovery is part of the prescription.

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.
