Used as a Footrest or Therapy Device

The foot stool is another traditional piece of equipment used to elevate one’s foot when sitting or standing and has shown to help reduce low back stress why reducing the concavity of the lumbar curve when one foot is placed on it. Physical Therapists will use the foot stool as a standard exercise device when the therapeutic intervention calls for stepping up and down, or to provide a good cardiorespiratory stimulus that results when you elevate the body repeatedly against gravity as stepping requires.
