Living with back pain? This home upgrade could make a world of difference

La-Z-Boy has been synonymous with comfortable recliners for nearly 100 years. Many Starts at 60 readers will have fond memories of a La-Z-Boy recliner serving as ‘Dad’s Special Chair’ in their family home.

While few, if any, would doubt the comfort of a good recliner, it’s easy to overlook the more important role it can play in long-term health and happiness.

Our latest boomer survey reveals a startling 40.2% of Australians over 55 suffer from back pain. The older we get the more important it is to find ergonomic furniture that supports the spine’s natural curve, helping to reduce pain and improve posture.

Enter La-Z-Boy’s Health & Wellness Collection: a range specifically designed for those who need that extra degree of care and comfort.

For those dealing with mobility issues or persistent discomfort, La-Z-Boy’s recliners and lift chairs can help to ease the strain of simple tasks like standing up, significantly reducing pain and the risk of injury.
