5 Ways Our Gentle Rocking Motion Reduces Stress
Rhythmic Synchronization: The repetitive, gentle motion of our chair helps synchronize your heart rate with a calming rhythm, signaling your nervous system to relax.
Cortisol Reduction: Studies show that rocking can lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone), helping you unwind faster after a long hike.
Vestibular Stimulation: The motion stimulates the inner ear, which has a natural soothing effect on the brain, similar to being rocked as a child.
Active Relaxation: Unlike static chairs, rocking engages minor muscle groups, preventing stiffness while keeping the body in a state of "fluid rest."
Deep Breathing Focus: The natural cadence of the rock encourages deeper, more mindful breaths, perfect for watching a sunset or sitting by the campfire.
