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 you
spine in the correct resting position where it forms an S-curve. In this
position almost all pressure on the lower back is eliminated.
Look for a zero gravity chair that reclines smoothly and returns to an
upright position easily. Zero gravity recliners often 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 foam cushioning.
