After surgery, the simple act of sitting, standing, or finding a comfortable position can feel like a workout. A well-designed zero gravity recliner can make a big difference in your overall comfort by raising your legs up to and above your heart, all pressure is removed from the spine creating a neutral-posture position. Zero Gravity reduces pressure on your spine and joints, helps to improve circulation and also can ease swelling in the legs and feet.
The Zero Gravity position was first created by NASA as a viable way to save our astronaut's spines and bodies during liftoff. This “weightless” position evenly distributes your body weight, relieving pressure points along the spine and hips.
For post-surgery recovery, experts often highlight zero-gravity chairs because this 'weightless' position evenly distrbutes your body weight, relieving pressure points along the spine, hips and joints. Leg elevation can improve blood flow, reduce swelling, and make it easier to rest in medically recommended angles. And with the ability to independently control the backrest and legrest, you can easily find a position that will enhance your recovery journey.
