When Should You Use An Ergonomic Footrest At Work, And How To Choose The Right Model?

There are pros and cons to footrests. They can help your sitting posture if the chair is too high... but they will make it more difficult for you to sit deep against the lumbar support. Therefore, you should only use a foot rest if you really need one!

Furthermore, the footrest should not be too far forward otherwise it will make you slouch. This will cause lower back pain and it will increase the risk of disc hernia.

I also show you how to choose the best ergonomic footrest, depending if you need it to be easily adjustable or not. If you are working from home, I will also show you how to make a cheap but great footrest!
