After going through a surgical procedure, you’ll be happy to leave the hospital and return to the comfort of home. However, in your current condition, you may find it hard to relax, get a good night’s sleep, or stand up to use the restroom. Luckily, a reclining lift chair can help you do all these things. Here are just some of the benefits of renting this piece of equipment.

What Is a Power Reclining Lift Chair?

While these chairs might look like your regular living room recliner, they are specifically designed for medical purposes. They can be positioned either upright or laidback, so the individual can relax without lying down completely.

Instead of a standard recliner, which requires pulling a lever or a forceful motion with the lower legs, these chairs are effortless to operate. When the user is ready to return to a standing position, they only need to push a button to be swiftly and seamlessly lifted to their feet.

Why Should I Rent One After Surgery? 

The lifting motion makes lift chairs so helpful to postoperative patients. It reduces the amount of physical strain on the user, so they don’t pull a muscle or further injure themselves by moving from a reclining to a standing position. This also motivates the individual to get up and move throughout the healing process, so they don’t experience the side effects of a 24/7 sedentary lifestyle, such as stiffness or bed sores.

Some postoperative lift chairs even offer heating and massage capabilities, which can increase blood circulation throughout the body and supplement the healing process. 

Finally, by renting a lift chair, you can make use of this tool when you most need it—in the few weeks following surgery—without having to make a long-term investment. This is especially helpful during a period when you might already be dealing with the financial stress of significant medical bills.
