1) To elevate the knees.
When sitting for long periods of time the proper position for your knees
is slightly above your hip. This relieves the pressure on the lower spine
reducing the amount of pinching that affects the nerves in the lower back.
Prolonged sitting without proper support is known to create back problems.
2) To help with stress control.
Stress is a natural component of life. Every exertion from thinking
to actual physical motion requires a certain degree of stress. As we
progress through our day stress residue builds up and if not allowed
to flow we can become very tense and emotional. Sitting back taking
a few moments with your feet up or just giving them a quick rub is a
good way to relax, allow some stress to flow away and allow for a good
mental reset. *
3) To help exercise and keep pliable lower back muscles.
The lower back has a number of muscle groups that assist with proper
movement and maintain good posture. If any of these muscle groups are
not exercised and stretched then atrophy can set in and put stress on
the other muscles resulting in lower back pain and poor posture.
4) To keep the hip and back bones aligned
Using a footrest helps to keep the back straight, this helps with energy
and using a footrest thatcan be moved or rocked helps with blood circulation
in the lower legs.
* Did you know that the nerve endings in your feet are connected to
major organs in your body?
By massaging your feet you send healing signals all over your body to
help it relax and refresh itself.
