What does it do?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9524\" src=\"http:\/\/wenzhomefurniture.blogs.eprevue.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2018\/10\/chandler-lift.jpg\" alt=\"Is it Time to Get a Lift Chair?\" width=\"413\" height=\"330\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Lift chairs are designed to help people who struggle to sit and stand\u00a0to do so with more ease. The power motion function tilts the chair forward and upward at the touch of a button, allowing you to more easily transition from sitting to standing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Let&#8217;s say you just had heart surgery and you have sutures all along your sternum, or you just got bucked off of your horse and broke three ribs. The last thing you will want to do is flex your chest or abdomen muscles to sit or stand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">As you age you may also find it more difficult to sit and stand, and that the risk of falling increases with these actions. When you are at risk of injuring yourself further by sitting or standing without assistance, a lift chair is something that moves from a want to a need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">A common action that we take for granted every day can soon become very painful, but with the help of a lift chair you can have more independence when sitting and standing, and experience less pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Lift chairs are also made to look exactly like a regular recliner so they won&#8217;t look out of place in your home. They are not only tailored to your convenience and comfort, but are highly customizable to suit your style and needs!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Many lift chairs, such as the Chandler lift chair pictured, also feature heat and massage which can alleviate sore joints, back pain, arthritis, and various other conditions. Most lift chairs allow you to recline all the way back as well, which helps you to easily transition into a sleeping position while improving circulation!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Health and Safety<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9522\" src=\"http:\/\/wenzhomefurniture.blogs.eprevue.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2018\/10\/98b72946-b712-42e7-8699-b6fd63c30f61_1.80c6bbb8ff1e39ab5ce3b7b5ef4c4039-768x614.jpeg\" alt=\"Is it Time to Get a Lift Chair?\" width=\"413\" height=\"331\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Lift chairs are a useful tool when it comes to avoiding falls, alleviating strain and pain associated with sitting and standing, and increasing your independence no matter what your situation may be. When doing the research, you may be surprised by the various benefits that accompany owning a lift chair!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Here are some of the ways owning a lift chair can improve your health and safety:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Reducing risk of injury<\/strong> \u2013 With slow and gentle rising, you reduce the risk of falling and causing injury. It also reduces muscle spasms which makes it easier to maintain control once on your feet as well.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Reducing Edema<\/strong> \u2013 Edema results from the\u00a0<\/span>build up<span style=\"color: #000000\"> of fluid that causes swollen legs. Lift chairs allow you to elevate your legs, increasing the blood flow to your heart and back through your body \u2013 which helps you to avoid edema.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Postural Hypotension<\/strong> \u2013 Postural hypotension results in a sudden spike in blood pressure that can cause you to become unsteady and fall. Having a chair that allows you to slowly rise at your own pace allows your blood pressure to stabilize, which reduces this risk.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Relieving pressure sores<\/strong> \u2013 One of the simplest ways to prevent pressure sores is by moving around. If you are currently struggling\u00a0with mobility, this isn\u2019t always the easiest thing to do. A lift chair allows you to reposition and move pressure to other areas which can relieve pressure sores.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Increasing independence<\/strong> \u2013 Being able to go from <\/span>sitting,<span style=\"color: #000000\"> to laying back napping, to standing allows you to take control and have more independence without assistance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Reducing muscle aches<\/strong> \u2013 Muscle aches in your back, shoulders, neck, or anywhere else can be a nuisance, and make everyday tasks seem daunting. Lift chairs allow you to sit down and stand up slowly without having to put a strain on those muscles. With muscle pain, we would recommend a lift chair with heat and message as well, as these features help to reduce inflammation and ease sore muscles.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Style that&#8217;s custom to you<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9523\" src=\"http:\/\/wenzhomefurniture.blogs.eprevue.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2018\/10\/the-burns-768x604.jpg\" alt=\"Is it Time to Get a Lift Chair?\" width=\"422\" height=\"332\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">The popularity of lift chairs has made finding one that suits your style and needs a breeze!
