I am a rocker. Not of the musical genre, but rather of the rocking chair persuasion. I love rocking in a solid rocker that fits me. I have a passion for rocking chairs. Their ability to relax me, the sense of nostalgia they bring and okay, I admit it, the way they look on my front porch. I love rocking chairs so much I bought a company that's made them since 1924. What can I say? I love rocking chairs!
In this business I come across a lot of tales about rocking from customers and friends. One day I had a conversation with a teacher who claimed that he had used our #7 rocker in his classroom and it was helping students with ADD and ADHD to better adapt and focus in the learning environment. I found this fascinating. Whenever I would mention this “new discovery”, I found that more and more people were speaking of using rocking for various ailments. That led me to an internet search where I found research, personal accounts, therapist insight, and historical references all related to the therapeutic benefits of rocking in a rocking chair. It was a culmination point for me really…it tangibly confirmed what I had subconsciously sensed all along - that rocking in a rocking chair held extraordinary charms. I was hooked.
I discovered that these bits and pieces of information were scattered all over the place and didn’t have a central place to call home. I was so compelled to share my “Eureka!” with the world that I decided to create this site to house, share, gather and promote information about the non-invasive and non-pharmaceutical approaches of Rocking Chair Therapy.
I hope you find this information as interesting as I did and hope it serves you well. Tell others about it and by all means, rock. And rock often!
