Zero Gravity Chairs are a highly versatile and extremely beneficial type of chair that allows the user to feel a sense of weightlessness, as if they were floating. The underlying principle of “Zero Gravity” also referred to as “Anti Gravity” was initially developed by NASA.
The Zero Gravity position closely mimics the position of NASA Astronauts during take off, a position designed to alleviate the amount of stress on the body from the G-Force pull. Human Touch, already one of the leading suppliers of massage chairs, has adapted this principle and started building some of the world’s best zero gravity chairs for the home and consumer markets.
To fully experience the zero gravity feeling, the chair must recline to a certain angle where your body is nearly in lying down form, and importantly, with your lower legs extended above your heart. This position allows the spinal column to decompress and lets each disc return to its normal shape and size.
In addition to the feeling and sense of weightlessness, the Zero Gravity position also offers quite a few health benefits: Chief among them are:
• Lower pressure on the back and spine
• Reduction of back pains
• Reduction of strain on the heart
• Decreasing muscle tensions
• Enlarging lung capacity
• Increasing blood oxygen levels and thus increasing circulation
A quick note, those who have had any past surgical treatments involving the back must discuss this with their physicians prior to utilizing this type of chair. Just like any other piece of specialized or ergonomic furniture, these chairs need to be properly calibrated to be useful and to prevent any injuries.
