When you stand up for long periods of time, where do you feel the stress? In your back, in your neck, in your legs? Well, the secret source of all of that stress is actually your feet. Houston’s Rhino Commercial Mats and Matting has come up with a unique solution to the stresses of standing up: the Reflex Anti-Fatigue Mat, with specially developed interactive mat technology.
Houston, TX (PRWEB) April 10, 2006 -- Rhino Mats and Matting is thrilled to announce its newest invention, the unique “Reflex Mat,” an all-new interactive anti-fatigue mat that doesn’t just lie there on the floor. It works with your body to reduce the stress and pain suffered from standing for a long period of time.
The Reflex Anti-Fatigue Mat took over two years to develop, and now Rhino Mats is ready to introduce its invention to the public. The Reflex, a unique interactive anti-fatigue floor mat, can be used by anyone whose line of work involves a considerable amount of standing, such as hotels, department stores, or warehouses. The floor mat increases workplace comfort and productivity. Revitalized employees are happy, dynamic workers.
Rhino Mats president and CEO Randy Allen discovered the concept of the “interactive mat.” “I thought: ‘you’re standing on top of this thing, expending energy, but what do you get back?’” explains Allen. “I got interested in reflexology and what happens there.” Reflexology is the practice of stimulating specific zones on the feet and hands in order to improve the overall health of the body. The interactive Reflex Anti-Fatigue Mat uses reflexology to “hit the reflex buttons on the soles of your feet, repressuring and revitalizing your wellbeing,” says Allen.
The energy input and output of the Reflex Anti-Fatigue Mat are interconnected, producing a combination of resilience and stimulation. The result is an effect that rejuvenates as energy is expended. Reflex Anti-Fatigue Mats provide this dual action of stimulation and resilience with a buoyant polymer sponge base and vertical column support domes.
The super-resilient closed-cell polymeric sponge base encourages a subtle series of small adjustments to the leg and calf muscles. Your blood flow increases when you adjust your balance to the flexibity of the mat, improving circulation and reducing fatigue.
The vertical column support domes are compliant to the shape of the foot, providing equal support across your footprint. This stimulation relieves tension, invigorates circulation, and breaks up patterns of stress across the body.
“When people think of a massage, they mostly think of the neck. But really, the best massage for stress and energy is a foot massage. That’s the concept we wanted to use when creating these interactive mats,” says Allen.
Rhino Mats produces and sells a wide range of commercial mats and matting designed to increase comfort and productivity in the workplace.
