The Zero Gravity Perfect Chair

Client comfort is of paramount importance to us, so we are pleased to announce that we have installed the Perfect Chair at stressfree consultancy. Clients can now experience a level of comfort unmatched by even the most expensive recliners.

The zero-gravity technology is credited to the scientists and doctors at NASA and was utilized in the space program to reduce the amount of compressional forces exerted on the spine by the extreme speed at which the astronauts blast into space. During take-off, astronauts recline with their feet higher than their hearts with a torso to leg angle of 126 degrees +/- 7. The reason zero-gravity is a preferred posture for astronauts is any slight amount of disc compression will be exemplified by the speed and force of take off.

Normal sitting postures can load 68 Kg (150 pounds) of compression into the lower back, while standing can load 45.3 Kg (100 pounds) of compression, and lying in a horizontal position can load 11.3 Kg (25 pounds) of compression. Even a minor back or spinal disc problem can be exacerbated with 11.3 Kg (25 pounds) of compression.

Zero-Gravity Recliners are designed to relieve the body of the pressures that cannot be relieved in a standing, seated or laying position or with other recliners that position the torso parallel to the horizon. The spine is allowed to unload the compressional forces with a ZGR by raising the lower legs above the heart which has the following benefits:

• Less pressure on the spine
• Reduced muscle tension
• Less pressure on the heart and expanded lung capacity
• Increased circulation and increased blood oxygen level

The Zero Gravity Chair allows our clients to enjoy even deeper levels of hypnosis as they experience perfect comfort.
