A study conducted between 2007 to 2016 showed that the average amount of time sitting in a day had increased by one hour \u2014 a number that only continues to go up.<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hours spent sitting add up, often leading to discomfort and a host of health concerns. To stay comfortably supported throughout the day, much of our attention has been focused on ergonomic chairs. But an ergonomic footrest can also help relieve even more stress on your body \u2014 and a well-designed footrest is an essential companion for any setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anything that elevates your feet can serve as a makeshift footrest. But what makes a footrest truly ergonomic? It has to be intentionally designed at the right height to keep both feet firmly planted, encourage movement instead of limiting it, and accommodate multiple sitting positions. Members of our Ergonomics Advisory Board \u2014 comprising experts in the fields of biomechanics, orthopedics, and more \u2014 share three ways an ergonomic under-desk footrest can benefit you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong>1. Keep your feet firmly planted for a better sitting posture<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.secretlab.co\/stories\/domidul\/uploads\/2023\/10\/23_Professional-Footrest_Blogpost_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5219\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>An under-desk footrest keeps your feet firmly grounded, distributing weight evenly across your soles to reduce pressure peaks. Without proper weight distribution, your buttocks and the back of your thighs bear the full brunt of your weight. This leads to pressure spikes in the area, especially around your sit bones, glutes and hamstrings. The increased pressure on your tissues also compresses nerves and blood vessels, causing numbness and discomfort after extended periods of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When your feet dangle, blood also pools in your soles and toes, causing even more swelling and discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.secretlab.co\/stories\/domidul\/uploads\/2023\/10\/23_Professional-Footrest_Blogpost_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5220\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Without proper support for your feet, your posture lacks stability. This forces the muscles in your thighs and lower legs to work even harder, leading to muscular fatigue and aches. Dr. James Goh, Emeritus Professor at the National University of Singapore, warns that sitting on the chair edge can also cause your body to lean forward, resulting in a hunched or slouched posture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scientific studies have linked poor sitting posture to an increased risk of musculoskeletal disorders as well, including conditions like forward head posture and rounded shoulders, according to esports medicine physician Dr. Lindsey Migliore. Poor posture also exacerbates lower back strain \u2014 especially when your feet are unable to reach the ground.
