What is the difference between a footrest and a balance board?

A footrest supports your feet while you sit. A balance board is stood on and moves as you shift weight. They are different product types and should only be used in the position described on the product page.

Can I stand on an under-desk footrest?

Not unless the product page explicitly identifies it as a standing balance board. FlexRock, RiseRest, LiftRoll, and RollArc are documented for seated use; FlexRock specifically states that it is not designed for standing.

Which products have adjustable support positions?

RiseRest has six manual hook positions with a documented 14.5–27 cm support range. LiftRoll shows six height and angle positions. FlexRock switches between rocking and a fixed 15° support mode, while RollArc is a compact rocker.

What surface should I use under a balance board?

Use a level, stable surface with clear space around you and stable support within reach. Neither balance board has a confirmed load rating, so do not infer one from the seated footrests or from product photographs.

This collection serves two different routines. FlexRock, RiseRest, LiftRoll, and RollArc are foot supports designed for seated use, with fixed, rocking, rolling, or multi-position formats. ErgoSway and PivotArc are standing balance boards with curved or centered rocker profiles for user-controlled weight shifts. A seated footrest is not a standing platform, and load ratings, dimensions, adjustment, and material details vary, so follow the intended use stated on each product page.
