The Problem

In many industries, employees are required to work or stand in one spot for extended periods of time.  The strain and stress applied to the neck, legs and lower back can be directly linked to the employees overall health and productivity.  Leg and lower back pain is highest in workers who stand 4 hours or more per day.  Muscles and joints are constricted and blood flow is reduced.  The end result, the heart is forced to work harder, sapping energy, and minimizing worker capacity. 

Experts agree that anti-fatigue floor matting provides cushion to relieve neck, leg and lower back discomfort and can significantly improve productivity and employee morale while reducing absenteeism and chronic illness related to long-term standing.

How Does It Work?

It's actually quite simple.  The cushion or Flex of the mat stimulates minute, un-dectable muscle movement in the legs and calf muscles as the body continuously adjust to remain stable.  This in turn increases blood flow to-and-from the area, and the improved circulation reduces the pain and discomfort.  

Floor mating also provides insulation and relief from cold/damp floors, another cause of accelerated fatigue.

With the use of anti-fatigue mats, there are fewer days lost to injuries, fewer medical claims, as well as compliance with new health and safety requirements.

THE END RESULT: INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY AND GREATER EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION
