RestAngles was invented out of necessity while sitting on very long flight routes from my home in Alaska to my job in Antarctica. I felt pressure on the back of my knees and pain in my lower back, hips, and lower extremities due to my legs dangling off the edge of my seat. My legs were dangling because my popliteal height is only 15 inches. Popliteal height is the distance from the bottom of your feet to the area behind your knees while sitting. The average popliteal height is from 15 to 19.9 inches; the average chair seat height is from 17 to 19 inches, leaving a 2-to-4-inch gap and creating “dangling legs:” This is common in many chairs and seats. Comfortable sitting posture happens when you can rest your feet flat on the floor.

Lymphedema is a chronic condition that results in swelling, usually in the arms or legs, due to a buildup of lymph fluid. It occurs when the lymphatic system, which is responsible for draining excess fluid from tissues, becomes damaged or blocked. This can happen as a result of surgery, radiation therapy, infection, or injury. Lymphedema can be uncomfortable and even debilitating for those who suffer from it, but there are ways to manage the symptoms and improve quality of life. One such way is by wearing lymphedema shoes.

A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint where the base of the big toe meets the foot. As the bunion grows, it causes the big toe to point inward toward the second toe, crowding the other toes and causing pain and discomfort. Bunions can be genetic or caused by arthritis or a foot deformity but they are often triggered by wearing tight, narrow shoes that put prolonged pressure on the feet and compress the big toe.
