The Relaxing Kensington SoleMassage Exercising Foot Rest - Reviewed

Can this fix all your leg and foot pain at work

Let's check it out. Dave Taylor here, and I spend a lot of time at tables and desks working

but if you don't think about the ergonomics of your setup, you're setting yourself up for all sorts of pain and discomfort

and that's unnecessary. Now, I know that I have issues with my computer here

because I really want to have my arms at about a 90, degree angle like this rather than down like that and of course your screen you want to have at approximately

eye level but that's not what we're talking about today today we're going to talk about feet

because people don't think about that but if you just have your feet crossed or leaning at angles or

something not good enter this this simple device is just a big piece of plastic is the kensington

sole massager rocking footrest and you can see it looks like it's one of those sort of either i don't know

a waffle iron or it's actually a massaging plastic surface. And the idea is pretty simple

Let me just sort of show you this and then we'll switch to live foot cam

But you basically adjust this. So it has this rocking motion, right

And then there's an adjustment on the back that lets you get it at a steeper angle or you can move it to a lower angle

That's basically it. So it has height and angle adjustments So there five height settings We saw that and then your angle you can go from zero degrees You can actually go either way here right

And it's actually quite lightweight. You can see him holding it with one hand

And the idea is you sort of get this to the position you want. You put it under your chair

Ideally, you take your shoes off, so you get to enjoy all the nobly features here

And then you can actually move your feet around and have really good angles

Because what you don't want is you don't want is you don't. don't want to end up with your feet hurting at the end of the day

So let's switch to action cam under my table and see how this works with my feet

So there you have it. In action, pretty exciting, right? I know, actually it's not that exciting

It's a footrest, right? But for a very small investment, this can be a really great addition to your office setup

Now, I will tell you that there's a couple things people complain about

I don't fully get it. Number one is that it's noisy. So, yeah, there's a little noise there

So if you're doing this, you might annoy people. But you know what

This is what WD40 was invented for. Tiny spray of oil on all the moving parts

And you'll never have any noise again. That's an easy solution. Second thing is that you can't lock in place without disassembly

which I don't understand, because obviously this is locked in place. And the you know sort of five different spots on the bottom is very much like a shay lounge you would find by the pool So you put it to the position you want and it stay there while you doing this sort of motion And yeah I could see that noise is going to be a little bit pesty in a workplace

Yeah, I'm not sure. So that's really it. It's a very simple design and it is literally you open the box up and there's two pieces of plastic

The whole foot assembly and the legs are all one piece. And then the top base is the other

And then all you have to do is make sure that when you assemble it, that you have this curve going in, which I didn't actually do the first time I built it

So I had to take it apart and do it again. It was not actually that hard. It took me, I don't know, maybe three minutes total

But once you do that, then you're done. This is good to go. And these two sections here, the parts that are going to be on the floor

actually have small bits of rubber on them. So if you have a hard wood floor or a linoleum floor or something like that

then this will also make sure that it doesn't move, which is important, because you definitely don't want to be doing this and having it slowly

sliding away from you. That would be bad. So this is pretty straightforward stuff, but I'll tell you

if you get the ergonomics right in your office workspace or in your homework space, even if you just

sit at the table at the kitchen like this and you work, getting your ergonomics right makes a huge

amount of difference in having less fatigue and more enthusiasm and just feeling better. Now, take breaks

get up walk around go for little exercise all that good too But sometimes you just got to sit and work So I a fan of this sort of stuff because I want to make my workspace as sort of human body friendly as possible if that makes sense I think that makes sense right So let me tell you about the price But before I get there if I can ask that you can subscribe to my channel just click that subscribe button Really appreciate it And leave comments I respond to every single comment So leave a comment and tell me what you do to make your workspace more ergonomic If you just laying on the couch with your feet up on the coffee table

Tell me about that, but what changes do you make so that your body actually is in better shape and you feel better when you're done working

Super curious about that. Okay, this is the Kensington Soul Massager rocking footrest and it is 2999 at Amazon.com and I say if you have a workspace that doesn't have something like this and you're just putting a box under your table or a couple of books or something, yikes

Get this. It's a very, very modest investment. and it will help your feet and legs and your whole body feel better

And you'll just be a happier person at the end of the workday. And who doesn't want that? So that's it

And I will catch you in my next video
