Zero Gravity: Space-Age Technology Benefits the Spine

In an upright standing or sitting position, gravity places pressure on the spine causing discs to compress and spinal muscles to contract to maintain balance. For a person with back pain, this can be extremely uncomfortable. When gravity is neutralized, muscles rest and discs return to their normal size and shape. This is why you are taller first thing in the morning than you are at the end of the day - because your discs have been relieved of the pressures of gravity and the weight of your body.

Zero gravity recliners are designed to relieve the body of the pressures experienced in an upright position. By extending the lower legs above the heart, the spine is allowed to decompress. This position has several benefits including:

• Less pressure on the spine
  
• Reduced muscle tension
  
• Less pressure on the heart and expanded lung capacity
  
• Increased circulation and increased blood oxygen levels

Relax The Back has several zero gravity recliners including fully upholstered recliners in traditional and contemporary designs as well as recliners made for outdoor use. These recliners are designed to follow the natural curves of the spine while providing full lumbar and upper back support. They move easily from full upright position to full recline, making it easy to get in and out. Other features include neck rolls, fully articulated headrests that adjust forward for reading, and built-in massage. Relax The Back has also incorporated the zero gravity concept into several other products including adjustable beds and wedge systems.

Good Posture Even when Relaxing
Maintaining good posture, even when watching TV or reading a book is not only good for your spine, it's now made easier with zero gravity recliners. Even if you don't have one of these chairs, being aware of how you position yourself when relaxing, and correcting it when you can, will allow your spine to relax along with the rest of you!
