Additional Information:
Orthopaedic surgeons universally agree that the 'zero gravity® stress free position' reduces pressure on the spine, relieving muscle tension and increasing circulation.
What is Zero-Gravity® ?
The Zero-Gravity® technology is credited to the scientists and doctors at NASA and was utilized in the space program to reduce the amount of compressional forces exerted on the spine by the extreme speed at which the astronauts blast into space. During take-off, astronauts recline with their feet higher than their hearts with a torso-to-leg angle of 128 degrees +/- 7 degrees, the "Zero-Gravity" position (also referred to as the body’s “neutral” position and the “90/90” position).
The reason Zero Gravity® is a preferred posture for astronauts is any slight amount of disc compression will be exemplified by the speed and force of take off. Normal sitting postures can load 150 pounds of compression into the lower back, while standing can load 100 pounds of compression, and lying in a horizontal position can load 25 pounds of compression. Even a minor back or spinal disc problem can be exacerbated with 25 pounds of compression.
A Zero-Gravity, or anti gravity recliner may reduce or eliminate the pressure that will cause spinal disc compression while sitting.
This chair positions a person into a no-compression or Zero-Gravity posture by assuming the ideal angles of the torso to the leg; the same way NASA positions the astronauts

Luxuriate in this new, fully upholstered Zero Gravity® 300 Recliner that positions your body with 'zero' stress on the muscles, ligaments and joints; just perfect for your tired and aching back!
When sitting, a person normally has about 150% of their total body weight of pressure on their lower back, but when reclined in a Zero Gravity® Recliner, there is 0% of body weight of pressure on the lower back. Hence the pressure is reduced to zero.
When there is less pressure, there is generally less pain since the body will be in a better position to heal itself.
The leg rest retracts completely to make getting in and out easy, and the seating position can be adjusted from fully upright - for conversation with friends and family - to zero-gravity® or anti-gravity, when you're really ready to relax.
We are so wild about the idea of zero-gravity® that we even trade marked the term here in Australia ! (#1050862)

Testimonials:
“I’d like to take the time to let you know how much I enjoy the chair I purchased from your company. I have arthritis in my lumbar spine...some days my spine is really in a lot of pain. Because of this I look forward to relaxing on the weekends. The chair relieves my tension and helps me to unwind and relax.” C. Fulper / New Jersey
“The chair is wonderful! I bought it for my 82 year old mother who lives with us. She has constant pain for low-back degeneration. It is about the only relief she gets as medication has not helped. It is the best thing EVER! Thank you!” J. Webb / Mayhill, NM
“I have a disc problem and sciatic pains in my leg. When I sit in the chair at the end of the day to relax and read, it is actually therapeutic. Not only are the 90/90 angles good, but the fact that one can adjust the tilt to any angle is the main advantage. I can feel the weight of my body come to a perfect balance for my back at a certain angle, making me totally relaxed and ending my pain. Thank you for designing such an amazing chair.” J. Eisenman / Greenfield, NH
