Product Description
The FM300 and FM300B, with their ball bearing rollers, encourage gentle rocking of the feet in the same way a rocking chair encourages movement. This rocking motion uses most of the lower leg muscles to increase healthful circulation. The FM300B offers built-in massage balls to rejuvenate tired feet. In addition, both offer 3? height adjustment for custom positioning Studies have shown that 70% of all women and 40% of all men have health issues such as blood clots, varicose veins and pressure on the Achilles tendon due to pooling of fluids in the lower limbs ? the result of prolonged, inactive sitting. The foot machine, with its ball-bearing, roller design encourages gentle rocking of the feet in the same way a rocking chair encourages movement. This rocking motion uses most of the lower leg muscles and increases healthful circulation. The foot machine also performs as a standard foot rest, providing support for the legs and relieving pressure on the lower back

great footrest
By F. Barrus
The footrest aspect of this works amazingly well, since the whole platform rolls up and down ramps, so it smoothly glides to any angle you want to have your feet at, with no resistance.The build quality seems quite good too.My only slight issues (but not enough to detract from the rating) are:- although the massage balls feel good, there's no way to work them into my arches at all. Maybe for someone flat-footed this won't be a problem. If the balls went all the way to the bottom edge, I could at least pivot my arch over that. Or if the middle ones were bigger or lifted higher, it would help.- the base of the unit has a fixed frame all the way around (which you can see in the picture) and if you roll your typical office chair too close, the wheels will hit that frame. I wish the front support could have been put at least several inches back.Overall it's a great product though and beats any sort of typical fixed-position item being used as a footrest.

Well designed, comfortable
By PGH
The footrest looks good. The one I received was a darker cherry/walnut color than what is pictured here. It is very simple to put together. The platform moves around when you shift your weight, but that is helpful if you are typing over long periods of time.

Feels great and helps me sit better.
By BermudaDog
I've been using this for a few months now, and really enjoying it. It helps me sit straight when I'm working at the computer for long hours. You can really feel the difference in your posture. If you don't want to use the massage balls you can just flip it over and use the opposite side. My only note is that i wish the massage section was on the left and right (as opposed to the middle) so both feet could use it at the same time. Otherwise this is a great product.
