High leg lift eases joints
HAVE you had enough of joint pain and discomfort caused by arthritis? An occupational therapist-approved rise and recline chair could help relieve your pain and increase your comfort. This kind of chair offers support to the joints. It can also help by greatly simplifying the movements that cause pain, such as rising from or sitting down in a chair. By lifting and tilting forward gently, it is much easier to sit or stand. A chair can often be built with a massage and heat package, which can be especially good at relieving joint pain. And those with a high leg lift will raise your feet six inches above the level of your hips, providing relief to the joints and improving circulation by getting the blood flowing. Swelling in the ankle and feet joints, as well as in the back, neck, hip and knee joints, can all be reduced. Lifestyle changes are usually recommended to help relieve arthritis — and a rise and recline chair can be a practical and affordable way to make a big difference at home.
