Circulation
Rocking can increase blood flow, which can help deliver essential nutrients and oxygen throughout the body and promote healing. This can be especially beneficial for recovery and reducing stiffness after surgery.

Pain Management
Rocking can provide a gentle form of distraction and relaxation, which can help alleviate pain and discomfort. The rhythmic motion can also help stimulate the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain relievers.

Back Pain
“Use a rocking chair as one of several back pain remedies that make up a larger back pain relief program. This is an excellent adjunct to spinal decompression for bulging disc treatment.”
(Dr. Barry L. Marks)

Stress & Anxiety
Rocking can have a calming effect on the nervous system, which can help reduce stress and anxiety, both of which can hinder recovery.

Dementia
“Patients with Alzheimer's disease who rock for 1-2 hours per day demonstrate significant improvements in depression, anxiety, and balance and a decrease in pain medication usage.”
(Binghamton University)

Joint Mobility
Gentle rocking movements can help keep joints mobile and prevent stiffness after surgery. This can be especially important for promoting range of motion and flexibility as part of the rehabilitation process.

Arthritis
“Rocking can reduce the impact of diseases such as arthritis. This is because the increased blood flow sends more oxygen to the joints while the relaxation effect boosts the immune system.”
(Jane Chitty | Writer | Healing Natural Oils)

Recovery
"After a surgical procedure, movement is essential to provide sensory input into the nervous system. This input can help the motor output healing response. The rocker is non-invasive but has profound impact on retraining and providing positive overall results. Not only will it assist in healing, it simultaneously help modulate the autonomic and back up neurohormonal system to create calmness."
