Back pain can cause serious discomfort in your life. If you suffer from back pain when sitting, or throughout your day, you may consider purchasing a riser recliner chair.

Riser recliners are the best chairs for back pain, helping to provide relief while improving your comfort and independence at home. 

Functionality of Riser Recliner Chairs

Riser recliner chairs work to assist you. They can be raised and lowered to help you get in and out easily, improving your independence and confidence at home. Riser recliner chairs also recline, allowing you to lean back and raise your legs, promoting comfort while providing several health benefits.

Benefits of Riser Recliner Chairs

Before discussing how these chairs target back pain, we’ll address several of the other benefits provided by these mobility aids.  

One major benefit of riser recliner chairs is their provision of superior comfort. The reclining function allows you to adjust the chair to find that perfect position, letting you relax and unwind. While raising your legs to sit comfortably, you’ll also work to improve your health, as raising your legs improves circulation. This helps prevent health issues such as varicose veins. It can also work to reduce swelling and recovery time, which is ideal if you’ve suffered an injury.

The support from a riser recliner can also help with arthritis symptoms. This is due to the made-to-measure nature of these chairs. If a chair is too high, your feet can dangle, creating pressure on your back. If it’s too short, your legs won’t be supported properly. If it’s too wide you won’t have proper back support. Having a chair tailored to your size makes a huge difference, making sure you can sit comfortably and be supported without any compromise.

How Riser Recliner Chairs Target Back Pain

Back pain is a common issue, with 11 million people in the UK experiencing back pain in any given year. Meanwhile, an additional 6.5 million suffer from severe back pain. Causes of this include injuries, awkward movements like lifting heavy objects, arthritis, prolonged sitting, and many other factors.

Back pain when sitting can be a nuisance, especially when trying to relax. This is where riser recliners come in. They offer lumbar support, keeping the lower back in a natural curve to prevent slouching. Doing so will reduce lower back pain when sitting and help you to maintain a correct posture.

The reclining positions help you find a comfortable position that relieves strain. Zero gravity positions (legs elevated above the heart) can reduce pressure on your spine to reduce back pain. Riser recliner chairs also work to distribute weight evenly, preventing pressure points that contribute to back and joint pain.

Our riser recliner chairs can also be purchased with a massage function to soothe your back and provide relief. Grosvenor Mobility also offers an adjustable lumbar support feature. This feature lets you adjust the neck and lumbar support at the touch of a button, giving you more control over your comfort. These orthopaedic chairs for back pain will work to improve your quality of life, allowing you to feel comfortable at home.
