Treadmill-Like Mat Helps Desk Workers Mitigate Health Consequences

November 27, 2018 By Tierney King

Sitting at a desk for hours often reaps many health consequences. Now, the ERGODISC, a circular floor mat, gently spins and helps rotate your lower body. This mobilizes your backbone disks and joints, while also strengthening your muscles and improving your posture.

The anti-fatigue mat and “treadmill” helps keep your legs moving, strengthens muscles, and provides circulation to your whole body to improve blood circulation and digestion.

ERGODISC has multiple elements that enable it to help desk-sitters, including a durable motor, smart sensor, exchangeable mat, and bidirectional spinning. The wedged shaped mat brings hula-hoop-like movements to your feet, and works like a reflexology to your feet by releasing pressure and stress.

The creators hope to eliminate dreaded desk jobs by promoting a healthier way of standing.
