Back before humans invented chairs we humans stood a lot. Now, almost 100 years later, we tend to sit. However, some people still stand. For those people there is the TerraMat.
The TerraMat is like a cat toy for you feet. It features a number of little bumps and ridges designed to let you stretch, exercise and massage your feet while you’re standing. It was created by two husband-and-wife teams, including an interior office designer, personal trainer and two engineers.
One of the inventors, Gerald Zingraf, suffered “a burst leg vein and failed valves that were caused from him standing still on a flat surface at his standing desk for 7+ hours a day.”
