The recline function or recline feature in a massage chair refers to the ability of the chair to tilt back and adjust the position of the backrest and footrest. This allows the user to lie down in a comfortable position, with their legs raised and their back supported.
In a massage chair, the recline function is often used in conjunction with massage programs to enhance the therapeutic effects of the massage. By adjusting the angle of the chair, the massage rollers can reach more areas of the body, such as the neck, shoulders, and back, providing a more comprehensive massage experience. Additionally, reclining in a massage chair can promote relaxation by reducing stress on the body and allowing the user to fully unwind during the massage session.
There are different types of recline functions in massage chairs. Some of the most popular ones include:
Zero gravity recline: This function mimics the weightlessness of space as it places your body in a gravity-neutral position, taking pressure off your spine. This can lower your heart rate, reduce tension and improve circulation.
Traditional recline: This type of recline function is facilitated with body messaging and traditional reclining chair features.
2-stage or 3-stage zero gravity: Some massage chairs come with “2-stage zero gravity” or “3-stage zero gravity”, this means that you can recline your chair beyond true zero gravity position.
