Power Pad Anti-Fatigue Mats: Uses and Purposes

November 15, 2018

Many people are experiencing physical fatigue more frequently because of the need to stand all day during working hours. This causes muscles to constrict and reduces blood flow in the legs and feet, which in turn causes the heart to work harder to get blood to these parts of the body. This results in muscle pain and discomfort, and physical fatigue, as the body runs out of energy.

There are many industries that require employees to stand while engaging in work activities for long periods of time, typically on hard cement flooring. Considering the effects of standing all day in one place, not only do people experiencing physical fatigue as described above, but the increased pressure placed on the joints in the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and the back is also a great source of discomfort and pain.

The Purpose and Uses of Power Pad Anti-Fatigue Mats

Power Pad Anti-Fatigue Mats are specially designed to provide relief to anyone who is required to stand for long periods of time, as these promote increased blood circulation and ease the load placed on the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and back. The basic purpose of ant-fatigue mats is to reduce employee discomfort caused by physical fatigue from standing for long periods of time on hard surfaces.

In fact, studies have shown that workers who used anti-fatigue mats on the job had up to 50% lower levels of fatigue and physical discomfort in their legs, compare to those who did not have access to anti-fatigue mats. Anyone who has to stand for hours in the same place can benefit from using Power Pad Anti-Fatigue Mats.

Residential uses – anti-fatigue mats can effectively relieve pressure and tension in your joints and back that contribute to physical fatigue from standing in the kitchen while preparing food and washing dishes, or in the laundry room while washing clothes, or while standing at a workbench in the garage.

Commercial uses – there are many uses for Power Pad Anti-Fatigue Mats in the workplace. Anyone working in retail stores, at deli-counters, cash registers, in warehouses, commercial kitchens, grocery stores, health clubs, and security guards, just to mention a few, can all greatly benefit from the use of anti-fatigue mats.

Power Pad Anti-Fatigue Mats are strong, light weight, and easy to clean. They are also resistant to acids, chlorine, solvents, and will prevent electrical shock, as these are made from non-conductive materials. Anti-fatigue mats are available at SOS Retail Sales and come in various colours (Black, Red, Blue, Grey, and Yellow).
