These chairs move up and down with the magic of hydraulics, gently raising the chair (with you accompanying it) to an almost standing position, making it a painless effort to get up out of your chair. When wanting to sit down, the hydraulics work in reverse, slowly easing you down from a standing position to a comfortable seat. 

Lift chairs work wonderfully for the elderly who do not have the muscle tone that they once had to move easily from a sitting to standing position. These chairs are not just beneficial to senior citizens. Many people suffering from other medical or health issues will find the benefit of lift chairs.
