TheraGlide rocking chair WOOD SILVERTEX
Theraglide Wood Silvertex and Tubular metal Silvertex
"The Thera-Glide is a special rocking chair that can move in a forward and backward direction".
In clinical studies, the gentle rocking motion of a rocking chair has been shown to release endorphins, a chemical known to improve mood and reduce pain. These studies have also shown that rocking reduces anxiety and provides multiple overall health benefits. This action has the effect of reducing agitation, medication and the need for caregivers. The Thera-Glide® Wood self-braking rocking chair has been developed to allow all persons at risk of falling to benefit from its therapeutic effects, while avoiding the dangers of this activity. The Thera-Glide® Wood combines rocking, adaptability and aesthetics.
The Thera-Glide chair:
- Has a unique safety mechanism, there is an automatic brake that is activated when the backrest is no longer loaded. This way you can safely leave the chair.
- The chair moves by exerting pressure on the floor with the legs. This stimulates your own muscles and joints.
- The linear rocking movement influences the balance organ, which has a calming effect on stimulus processing. The rocking action can be secured to the back of the chair by third parties.
- Offers a very comfortable seating comfort due to the preformed cushions, padded armrests. Extra supports are attached to the floorboards at the side to prevent the chair from tilting as much as possible.
- Seat depth, seat height and backrest are adjustable.
- The chair has a steel frame, but is finished with wood, which gives the chair a homely feeling.
- There are different types of wood to choose from.
