| The Maxi Comfort zero gravity position approximates the weightless conditions of outer space, in which the body experiences an absolute minimum of internal and external stresses. Your legs are elevated above your heart, creating an open angle between your torso and thighs. This position puts your back in the correct resting posture, where the S-curve of your spine is properly maintained and virtually all pressure on the lower back is relived.
In this position lung capacity is also expanded to ease breathing and boost oxygen levels. Circulation improves, minimising stress on the heart and reducing muscle fatigue.

Correct spinal alingment
The proper 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 relived of almost all pressure. Disc compression is greatly reduced or eliminated completely.
Expanded lung capacity
Via the open angle created between 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 minimised, and the oxygen-rich blood being pumped to fatigued muscles helps them to recover faster.
The neutral position
The netural posture position maintains the four natural curves of the spine to minimise strain on supporting muscles and ligaments. This is the optimal posture to prevent back and muscle pain.
