When it comes to picking your perfect massage chair, your options are (almost) endless. Do you want leg and foot massagers? Back and shoulder massagers? Do you want a heated chair? What about L-Track vs S-Track? So many terms!
One of the popular features you’ll have to decide on is whether you want a chair with Zero Gravity. No, these chairs won’t take you on a trip to space… but the feeling they give comes pretty close.
So what exactly is Zero Gravity? Inspired by NASA technology, Zero Gravity allows you to position yourself in your massage chair for maximum relaxation and ease. Zero Gravity technology aligns your back relative to your thigh at an optimal level of comfort. When reclined into the zero gravity position, the complete weight of your back is virtually supported by the backrest which maximizes the intensity of the massage and helps to decompress your spine.
Using a Zero Gravity chair goes like this: first the chair back reclines in order to level out your back and thighs, then the leg rest raises in order to elevate your legs above your heart. Sort of like taking on in a spaceship, but way more relaxing.
That sounds fun! So what are the benefits? In the Zero Gravity position, your weight is completely evenly distributed. Because of this, your muscles can fully relax and you can let go of the tension you're holding in your neck, back and shoulders. Used regularly, it can improve circulation and lymphatic flow, reduce pain and ease varicose veins.
