The zero gravity position approximates the weightless conditions of outer space, in which the body experiences an absolute minimum of internal and external stresses. The benefits of resting in a zero gravity position include:
Correct Spinal Alignment. The proper neutral position for the S-curve of your spine is maintained along the three regions of your back: cervical (neck), thoracic (upper back) and lumbar ( lower back).
Back Pressure Relief. The lumbar region (lower back), especially, is relieved of almost all pressure. Disc compression is greatly reduced or eliminated completely
Expanded Lung Capacity. Via the open angle created between the torso and thighs, breathing is improved, thereby increasing the oxygen levels in the blood.
Improved Circulation. With the legs elevated above the heart, stress on the heart is minimized, and the oxygen-rich blood being pumped to fatigued muscles helps them to recover faster.
The Neutral Position. The neutral posture position maintains the four natural curves of your spine to minimize strain on supporting muscles and ligaments. This is the optimal posture to prevent back and muscle pain.
