The 10 Best Zero Gravity Massage Chairs for 2023
When shopping for your perfect massage chair, the options can seem endless: Do you want a heated chair? Leg and calf massagers? And what’s the difference between an S-track and an L-track? You didn’t study for this!
One of the more common (and popular) terms you may come across in your massage chair search is ‘zero gravity.’ While it doesn’t mean that you’ll gain the ability to float through space, the sensation a zero gravity massage chair provides comes pretty close.
What is a Zero Gravity Massage Chair?
A zero gravity massage chair comes with a moveable footrest that helps to extend your knees and elevate your feet slightly above your heart. This creates a sense of weightlessness by taking pressure off your spine, with the greatest benefit being improved circulation. This technique was first developed by — you guessed it — NASA for its astronaut training program, to alleviate some of the physical stress on the human body as it launches through Earth’s atmosphere.
When using a zero gravity massage chair, there are two steps to achieving that weightless sensation. First, the massage chair back reclines to level your back and thighs. Then the leg rest raises to elevate your legs above your heart. No space shuttle required!
The Benefits of a Zero Gravity Massage Chair
Once your zero gravity massage chair is fully reclined, your weight is evenly distributed throughout the massage chair. This causes your muscles to relax, and alleviates any stress you may be holding in your neck and back. As with any massage chair, there are many long-term benefits of a zero gravity massage chair: Regular use can help improve circulation, reduce arthritis pain and even ease the symptoms of varicose veins.
