Massage Chairs With Zero Gravity
For those with back pain the force that gravity plays a toll on their back each and every day. Whether standing or sitting gravity compresses the spine and puts extra stress on the discs and nerves in the spine. For those with a prior back injury or poor posture this can lead to constant aches and pains that make life miserable.
Inversion therapy has been around for a very long time and some massage chairs now have the capability to provide a zero gravity massage to relieve this pressure. The technology is the same design and position that NASA uses for their astronauts during takeoff to offset the effects of rocketing into outer space. Massage chairs such as models from Human Touch and Sanyo have a special zero gravity massage that can take the pressure of gravity off of your spine. This will allow the discs and nerves to be in the optimal position, which will relief the pain and tension in the back.
Many massage chair users are a little unnerved at the position at first since many feel like they are going to land backward on their head. But once accustomed to the backward tilt the excellent feeling in the back without gravity pushing on the spine truly feels great. When combined with massage this will improve circulation and posture to keep back pain from developing in the future and ease the effects of gravity during the course of a day. Receiving a massage in this position will also increase circulation, increase the flow of oxygen to the muscles, and will even improve the flexibility for a healthier back.
