Reclining Office Chair - PowerPoint PPT Presentation
Title:
Reclining Office Chair
Description:
zero gravity recliners gives your body a Zero Gravity Position where your legs are elevated above your heart, putting the back in a correct resting position where your spine makes an S curve and reduces all the pressure on your back. This position reduces the pressure on your spine by 15% as compared to lying horizontally. Since all our body parts are co-dependent, this zero gravity posture is beneficial to other areas as well: Lung capacity is expanded to ease breathing and boost oxygen levels in the blood, while circulation improves to minimize stress on the heart, which in turn leaves you with less muscle fatigue and a completely relaxed feeling overall. It's no wonder that Zero Gravity recliners are recommended by many physicians and health care professionals, and is the closest thing you'll find here on earth to the weightless conditions of outer space. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Proper back and neck support is important in all
aspects of life - sleeping, standing, lifting,
and sitting. It is especially important for
people who suffer from back and neck pain. But
what about the times when you are not
sleeping, standing, lifting, or sitting? What
about when you are relaxing? Lounging in a chair
or on the couch 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 ergonomic
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 Recliner. A zero gravity chair
is ergonomically designed to recline to a point
where stress on the spine is relieved. Zero
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 pressure 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
normal size and shape. Zero gravity recliners
extend the lower legs above the heart to achieve
this neutralized gravity effect on the back. This
results in correct spinal alignment reduced
pressure on the back less muscle tension less
pressure on the heart better circulation The
zero gravity position is also referred to as the
"90/90" position because of the right angles
formed at the hips and knees. This puts your
spine in the correct resting position where it
forms an S-curve. In this position almost
all pressure on the lower back is
eliminated. Other features include a lumbar
pillow, power recline, adjustable footrest,
and memory foam cushioning.
