Ergonomic footrests can be a gamechanger for individuals experiencing lower back pain — one of the most common problems faced by people who sit at a desk for long hours. To achieve the optimal ergonomic setup, a footrest with a high degree of adjustability helps keep your feet comfortably elevated, regardless of your build and sitting preferences. The Secretlab Professional Footrest (CloudSwap™ Technology) allows your feet to rest at the perfect angle and height for your needs. For individuals whose feet can't rest firmly on the floor, this can also help improve circulation and overall ergonomic wellness. I find myself using the locking function frequently as I shift in my seat throughout the day — this lets me rest my feet at the optimal dorsiflexion angle of around 0 to 15°, with just the right amount of incline to support the correct sitting posture.

As a doctor of Physical Therapy, I understand the importance of maintaining good posture and comfort while sitting at a desk for extended periods of time. That's why I recommend investing in a good ergonomic footrest as part of your setup. The adjustability of the Secretlab Professional Footrest (CloudSwap™ Technology) works in tandem with the Secretlab TITAN Evo to accommodate multiple sitting positions, so you can sit freely while staying relaxed and still well-supported. To reduce strain, it’s important to vary your sitting posture at least 2 to 4 times every hour — and the footrest ensures you are ergonomically supported no matter what position you take. It also allows you to keep your feet and knees at a comfortable angle, distributing weight while promoting stress relief in your thighs and hips and providing the optimal sitting experience.
