Leg support is a must or luxury

It is generally believed that the legs receive physical exertion only after a long walk or intense running. Meanwhile, they get tired if they are in the same position for a long time. For example, at the desk. Absurdity, but the very working chair that provides a living capital, becomes the enemy of our body. After all, "sedentary" work adversely affects blood circulation, provokes some diseases of the spine, and in some cases becomes the cause of intestinal diseases. So what should I do? To change work? Of course no. As they say, you can not change the situation - tune in for it yourself. A special footrest will help in this.

What it is?

The footrest is a support pad, which is adjusted to the required height and the required angle of inclination. And you can set the desired position without being distracted from work. A special spring allows lifting the platform, the height of which is fixed under the pressure of the feet. This simple design provides a comfortable working posture for the whole body, prevents fatigue and labor intensity.

When arranging the workplace, the footrest is a necessary item. Often in large rooms with a central heating system is very difficult to achieve a comfortable microclimate. This deficiency leads to colds of workers, which affects the quality and productivity of labor.

To create comfortable conditions for the feet even in the coldest weather will help the footrest with a heating function. Until recently, it was presented in the form of a rectangular box with a metal cover where heat and light were provided by several light bulbs under a transparent grid. The drawback of this design was the impossibility of adjusting the slope and height. The modern model differs from its prototype with a more elegant design, a rubber frame and a retractable support to provide the required angle of inclination.

Areas of use

First of all, the footrest is an office necessity. Remember how many times during the working day our feet are looking for a crossbar under the table. Trying to find a comfortable pose, we throw the leg on the knee, which prevents normal blood circulation. Leg support, which is simply necessary for people suffering from a vascular system, is also a useful tool for healthy limbs.

The unique property of this mechanism to relieve tension in the muscles is used not only at work. Pediatric Doctors recommend using this mechanism for young mothers while breastfeeding. The footrest helps to lift your knees, allowing you to take the most comfortable position, not only for the body of the nursing mother, but also for the infant.

Also such platforms are used by artists on a professional stage. The foot stand helps to keep the body in the right position while playing the guitar. It, certainly, differs the mechanism from an office support, but carries out the same functions.

More simplified designs are used by elderly people with aching joints when taking a bath. They help to comfortably sit at a computer at home and are indispensable during the procedure of a pedicure.
