Why does nobody talk about desk footrests changing your whole posture?

I had a long chat with my physiotherapist last week after complaining about shoulder pain, and she pointed out my feet were dangling instead of resting flat. She said a simple footrest could fix more than my legs, so I grabbed a $25 wooden one off Amazon and wedged it under my desk. Has anyone else noticed their lower back feels different after raising their knees just a few inches?

Interesting that you noticed the lower back thing, because that's exactly where I felt it too. Did your physio mention whether the angle of your hips matters just as much as the height of the footrest? I ended up with a tilted one because my knees were still slightly higher than my hips even with the flat wooden block. Just curious if she gave you any guidance on that part.
