Health Benefits of Recliners

COVID-19 has certainly changed the dynamics of society. It has affected how we work, how we socialize, how we shop, how we eat, it’s affected every faucet of society causing an unprecedented amount of stress. Did you know that during the pandemic, about 4 in 10 adults have reported symptoms of anxiety or depressive disorder, resulting in difficulty sleeping, and eating.

So let’s take a few minutes to discuss the importance of relaxation and the health benefits of a recliner. A recliner alleviates stress by offering comfort and support. While your body reclines, the spine is rested and the back is supported and the legs are elevated. This position puts your body into a state of relaxation, which in turn, relieves stress and rejuvenates the mind and body.

Relieves Stress
Back pain, did you know that the major cause of back pain is stress. For instance, sitting upright at a 90-degree angle for prolonged periods of time, can lead to muscle strain and back pain. This type of physical stress can be alleviated with a recliner. Naturally, we like to lean back in our chairs in order to relax, so a recliner simply provides the additional support required to lean back and enjoy that relaxing comfort.

Pain Relief
Back, shoulder and neck pain are often caused by continuous strain on the muscles. It could be from carrying heavy objects, or prolonged sitting at a computer. The cause doesn’t really matter. Recliners can help by altering the direction of pressure from your body weight alleviated the pain from the affected areas.

Improves Circulation
Poor blood circulation causes heavy feet, and swollen joints. This is normally aggravated by long periods of sitting or standing, since gravity affects the blood flow. A recliner helps direct the blood flow through regular reclining, helping to alleviate clogged veins and swelling.

Aching Joints
Stiff, swollen joints cause major discomfort for many people, especially those suffering from arthritis. This type of pain can change the quality of your life. Recliners assist by correcting the angles of the joints and essentially directing the muscles downward. This decreases the aches and pains so much so that some recliners are designated as medical equipment. Especially if the recliner can assist with getting up or down.
