Testimonial:
"I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your exceptional customer service and follow up.
After suffering a nasty accident where I fractured several vertebrae and a lot of spinal surgery, my Occupational Therapist suggested that I visit Bad Backs Perth store to tryout the Zero Gravity Recliner. I could not believe the instant relief when I first tested the recliner in your store. I didn’t want to leave.
Previously, the only relief that I could get was from lying in my bed for long periods. But with two young boys, I felt very isolated from my family. The Zero Gravity Recliner has changed that and I am now able to rest my back and be with my family.
I would recommend the BackSaver Zero Gravity Recliner to anyone suffering back pain..." T Taylor, WA
Additional Information:
Orthopaedic surgeons universally agree that the 'zero gravity® stress free position' reduces pressure on the spine, relieving muscle tension and increasing circulation.
Over forty-six years of backcare experience go into every product developed at BackSaver. BackSaver has relieved pain for tens of thousands of people, including one United States President! Today, BackSaver continues to work closely with the medical community to develop unique products all aimed at accomplishing one goal: relieving back pain and eliminating stress.
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.
BackSaver™ designed a solution to this discomfort by mimicking the postures of the astronauts with a chair called a Zero-Gravity Recliner. A Zero-Gravity Recliner by BackSaver™ can 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.

Introducing the luxurious BackSaver Zero Gravity® Recliner that perfectly positions your body with 'zero' stress on the muscles, ligaments and joints. If you've never tried a Zero Gravity® and anti-gravity chair, you'll be amazed by the difference compared to a normal recliner.
The zero gravity® position means that your legs are above your heart, which is the position that doctors recommend as the healthiest way to sit.
The Zero gravity® concept was developed by NASA researchers looking for a way to reduce bodily stress suffered by astronauts during shuttle mission takeoffs.
When sitting, a person normally has about 150% of their total body weight of pressure on their lower back, but when reclined in a BackSaver 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.

Testimonials:
"Resting or napping in a zero gravity recliner is where I'll find the team when needing a short time out during their very busy day." Felicity Wood - Director - Bad Backs, Melbourne
“My wife and I received our recliners and all we can say is “Aaaaah!” The service was terrific and the chairs are beautiful. We really appreciate how little room is needed to enjoy the chairs fully. The only major drawback we have discovered with the chairs is that they are so darned comfortable there is a tendency to fall asleep when you should be doing something else.” R.S. Parks / Miami, FL
“My new chair is all I expected it to be and even better looking! It is comfortable for me no matter how I arrange myself in it-sleeping, reading or just plain sitting. Your chair is so great, such a unique contribution to comfort, health, and beauty.” J. Oberbeck / E. Walpole, MA
“I look forward enormously to my new BackSaver ZGR. I have practically lived in the first one. I have had the chair for almost twenty years, during which time I have taken 1,000,000 happy naps in it and, after two surgeries, a couple of nights’ sleep; in addition, it has supported me each day when I read the Times. I like its relatively (for a recliner) small profile and of course, the “zero-ness” of its gravity. Bless you folks for selling it.” J. Klau / Boston, MA
