I am considering putting plastic tiles (racedeck, swistrax, etc) in my garage. Do the solid tiles offer any sort of anti-fatigue relief over the bare concrete? My wife mentioned I should consider something like that if it'll help mitigate my back pain.

For a customer report [RaceDeck], I have a combination of the FreeFlow and solid tiles. Both are far easier on the feet and legs than bare concrete. Knees, too.

Haven't tried the ShockTower, I believe they came out shortly after I purchased my tiles. They might be even better. Get a sample and stand on it.

I was originally going to put down a couple of mats to make my floor even easier on my body, but I never did as, at least for me, the tiles were adequate.

We sell RaceDeck & TrueLock tiles. Nicer than concrete but not soft.

Hi, our solid PVC www.supratile.com do offer some 'give' and are definitely more comfortable to walk on than concrete. We have many people buy them for trade show booths where they are on their feet all day.

Just an FYI
our patent ShockTower® option can be added to any exiting RaceDeck Diamond or CircleTrac floor. A lot of people used it in front of work bench or under lifts for added 'cush' :beer:
