Has anyone here with AS has tried the use of a zero gravity and or massage chair ?

i changed my bed to a memory foam mattress and adjustable base with good results, I sleep in bed again instead of in a recliner. I use a lumbar support in my office chair and try to move around regularly. I use a wireless headset that gives my flexibility and mobility during conference calls. I purchased a car with very comfortable and multi-way adjustable seats.

Any other ideas/experiences ?

Dealing with AS can be tough. [This content has been moderated by an administrator] Finding the right support is crucial. I've found memory foam and lumbar support helpful. Has anyone explored zero gravity chairs? Maybe it's the power-up we need to conquer this level! Comfortable car seats also make a huge difference for longer journeys.

Zero gravity chairs can be quite beneficial for people with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), mainly because the neutral position distributes your weight evenly and relieves the direct vertical pressure on your spinal discs.
