Excellent chair for back and/or leg pain

I searched numerous ratings of 'best recliner for back pain', exchanging words such as sciatic pain, post surgery, knee pain, etc. this chair was never listed. It should be. Soft material. Back adjusts independently of the legs. Some, including a very comfortable blue chair on this site, the back w...on't recline until the legs are fully lifted. Motors are quiet and smooth (some I tried wobbled when beginning the lift). My 'had to have' were adjustable headrest and lumbar, and a battery backup. This does not show a battery backup, 2 different sales people in store, said it did not have a battery backup. I got the chair anyway, color unseen, as I was desperate having just had back surgery. I love the gray AND it most certainly DOES have a built in battery backup. Takes four 9 volt batteries, which are not included. My guess is, it's enough power for one time use, which is all that is needed when there's a power outage. Only reason I did not give the 5th star, is with all these features, I figured I'd go for the massage too. This chair does not offer massage. However, if you're not getting a specific 'massage chair', the massage feature in recliners/lift recliners, is only going to be so-so anyway. I would definitely recommend this chair for those with neuropathy, back pain, leg pain, knee pain, sciatic pain (whether temporary or permanent), even neck and shoulder pain. Only thing I need to get used to, is when I'm ready to get up, I just have to be a little patient while waiting for the motors to unrecline me ;) Chair does not rock, nor swivel and is not a 'wall hugger'. I've only had this chair 2 days, so hopefully I won't be updating with any motor issues. It comes in just one very (even for 2 men) heavy box. I wish it was 2, as I am moving soon and will have to disassemble and repack. Chair comes in 2 pieces that easily slide together. Box will not fit through my standard 30" bedroom doors, though front door and hall were wide enough.
