Relax Your Back With The Anti Gravity Chair

Correct back and neck support is critical in all aspects 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 stress 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're relaxing after dinner or reading a novel.

one solution to this problem is a zero gravity chair. The anti gravity lounge chair is ergonomically engineered to recline to a point where stress on the backbone is relieved.

nil gravity recline is a technique that was developed by NASA to minimize 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 compact and muscles to contract to maintain balance. When gravity is neutralized, back muscles rest and the discs return to their ordinary size and shape.

zero gravity recliner extend the lower legs above the heart to reach this neutralized gravity effect on the back. This leads to :

• correct spinal alignment


• reduced pressure on the back


• less muscle tension


• less pressure on the heart


• better circulation

The nil gravity position is also referred to as the'90/90' position due to the right angles formed at the hips and knees. This puts you backbone in the proper resting position where it forms an S-curve. In this position pretty much all pressure 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 frequently come with adjustable headrests and neck rolls. Also consider a chair that includes built-in massage. Other features include a lumbar pillow, power recline, adjustable footrest, and memory material cushioning.
