Put feet up to protect joints and avoid fatigue

-

A CORRECTLY measured chair helps improve your posture, which reduces joint and back pain, helping you to sit more comfortabl­y and protect your joints while resting. The rise element of the chair helps you to stand or sit comfortabl­y, supporting your hip and knee joints. Those who are in pain with arthritis, for example, may do less activity in the day and find that their legs swell due to water retention. This can be alleviated by a chair with a high leg lift option that helps to drain swelling. And heat and massage options can also help to alleviate any stiffness. Adjustable beds support those who need some assistance getting up or adjusting their position in bed, especially first thing in the morning and last thing at night, when joints are at their stiffest. Having a good night’s sleep is essential to help all parts of the body, particular­ly the joints, to repair themselves.
