A Foot, Leg Rest, also known as a footrest or leg support, is an ergonomic accessory designed to provide comfort and proper posture while sitting. It helps reduce pressure on the lower back, legs, and feet by elevating them to a more natural position. This accommodation is especially beneficial for individuals who experience circulation issues, fatigue, or discomfort from prolonged sitting. By promoting better blood flow and reducing strain, footrests contribute to overall workplace wellness and can prevent musculoskeletal problems. Foot, Leg Rests come in various styles, including adjustable platforms and cushioned pads, making them adaptable to different seating arrangements and user needs.
Place the footrest on the floor in front of your chair, adjusting its height so your feet rest comfortably with knees at about a 90-degree angle. Keep your feet flat on the rest to promote circulation and reduce pressure on your lower back. Regularly clean the surface and check for wear or instability. Pairing the footrest with an ergonomic chair enhances overall support and comfort throughout the workday.
