Reclining relieves strain on the joints

RESEARCH has found that seven out of ten doctors would recommend sitting in a reclined position to help relieve backache. When a person is reclined, their body is completely supported, removing the strain on the joints that causes discomfort. Invest in a recliner chair and, at the simple touch of a button, your legs can be lifted to take the weight off your feet. This is the perfect position for relaxing when reading, resting or watching TV. Consider a riser recliner model. Rather than struggling to get to your feet, or relying on someone to help you out of your chair, a riser recliner will gently tip you forward to allow you to get up with minimal strain and effort. This helps you to regain independence and reduce joint strain while improving your quality of life.

GOOD sleep doesn’t just reboot your system, refreshing your body and mind for the next day. It also helps to repair your body, easing inflammation and pain. Adjusting your sleep posture will help to take away the compression forces on joints and ease such conditions as swelling or breathlessness. At the press of a button, an adjustable bed can be moved into a number of different positions. Using simple and intuitive controls, you can manipulate the ends of the bed to elevate your upper body, legs or both. Not only that, but being able to raise yourself will make it easier to get in and out of bed, too, which can be crucial if you are suffering from aches and pains. And some come with a luxurious massage function that can help to relieve discomfort.
