Anti-fatigue mats are a type of mat that provides cushioning underfoot and encourage gentle foot movement in an effort to lessen fatigue and the hazards associated with prolonged standing at work.
It is essential that this kind of matting encourages blood circulation. The calf and foot muscles contract and expand as the feet gradually acclimatise to the cushioned surface, stimulating blood circulation and turning on the venous pump, which pushes blood back up to the heart. Additionally, these mats offer warmth from chilly concrete floors and slip resistance for general well-being.
Aches and pains from standing for a long time can develop over time if the underlying reason is not treated.
