This stress on muscle and joints keep building over time leading to physical fatigue and long-term health issues.
The blood flow in these constricted areas gets restricted resulting in more pain, discomfort and exhaustion. Industrial mats enable workers to be more productive and at the same time to feel at ease whilst standing for a long time, especially on hard surfaces. Anti-fatigue mat utilization while working helps the muscles to move thus increasing the blood flow and reducing stress and soreness in the feet.
