ANTI-FATIGUE BALANCE BOARDS PREVENT FOOT, BACK, AND HIP PAIN

It’s easy to imagine working from home as lounging in bed with a hot cup of coffee. In reality, a good work-from-home set-up should look more like a cubicle than a couch. Standing desks, computer stands, and keyboards are just some of the popular home office items that can help you maintain good posture during an eight-hour work day. And one unexpected addition you’ll see popping up in more home offices are anti-fatigue boards or mats.

According to Velimir Petkov, DPM, a podiatrist and founder of Premier Podiatry in Clifton, New Jersey, consistently using an anti-fatigue board or mat can help develop your balance and stamina over time. He even recommends them to his ankle rehab patients, as well as those with generalized foot problems, because it’s an easy way to strengthen weakened muscles.
