Proper neck and back support is critical in all sides of
life - sleeping, standing, lifting, and sitting. It is particularly important
for folks who suffer from back and neck discomfort. But what about the times
when you're not sleeping, standing, lifting, or sitting? What about when you
are relaxing?
Lounging in a chair or on the sofa does not relieve the pressure placed on your
back. In fact, it adds to the pressure on your back and neck. It is not
practical to sit upright in an energy saving office chair or to stand in your
living room when you are relaxing after dinner or reading a novel.
one solution to this problem is a zero gravity chair. The anti gravity chairs is
ergonomically engineered to recline to a point where stress on the backbone is
relieved.
0 gravity recline is a method that was developed by NASA to attenuate force
exerted on astronauts' spines during takeoff. In an upright position, either
standing or sitting, gravity places stress on the spine. This causes the discs
to compress and muscles to contract to maintain balance. When gravity is
neutralized, back muscles rest and the discs return to their ordinary shape and
size.
zero
gravity recliner extend the lower legs above the heart to realize this
neutralized gravity effect on the back. This leads to :
- correct spinal alignment
- reduced pressure on the back
- less muscle tension
- less stress on the heart
- better circulation
The 0 gravity position is also referred to as the'90/90' position thanks to the
right angles formed at the hips and knees. This puts you spine in the proper
resting position where it forms an S-curve. In this position virtually all
stress on the lower back is eliminated.
Look for a nil gravity chair that reclines smoothly and returns to an upright
position simply. 0 gravity recliners often come with adjustable headrests and
neck rolls. Also consider a chair that includes inbuilt massage. Other features
include a lumbar pillow, power recline, adjustable footrest, and memory foam
cushioning.
