Health Benefits of a Recliner ?

What is a Recliner?
Recliners are, at their most basic, your comfortable chair with a reclining function. A regular chair keeps you seated upright, and this position puts a lot of stress on the lower back. A recliner eliminates that problem by allowing you to shift your position with angles and rests that will let weight more evenly distributed all over your body. No single body part will experience extreme stress. Therefore, your lower back will feel comfortable and more relaxed, allowing you to stay seated for more extended periods.
Nowadays, recliners are designed with more elaborate features, such as improved arm and footrests, ergonomic headrests, and backrest. A good recliner can address specific muscle strain conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome. You can put your feet up, entirely lie down, or simply recline—you’ll definitely be able to settle into the most comfortable position for you in a recliner. These days, many of them come with remote controls, making them ideal for people with more limited mobility.
