Chi Massage Treatment
The Original Chi Machine helps virtually anyone relax muscles locally with little or no conscious effort. You just lay face-up on the floor with both feet placed in the specially designed footrest. The device rocks the entire body from side to side in a gentle undulating motion.
The Chi Machine (15 minute session) stimulates an exclusive body response through gentle “figure 8” oscillations with the body helping to:
- Counteract the effects of stress by rapidly inducing a deep sate of relaxation
- The gentle wave-like movement of the spine relaxes the muscles of the Back improving flexibility and movement while relieving pain.
- Promote blood cell production, blood circulation and tissue oxygenation.
- Relax muscles locally
- Relieve vertebra joint pressure
- Promote a sense of well being
- Enhance lymphatic drainage
- Improve immune system function
- Massage abdominal organs to aid in digestion
- Stimulate the flow of “Chi” energy throughout the body
The idea behind this unusual aerobic exerciser called the Chi Machine ® was suggested by Dr. Shizuo Inoue, Chairman of Japan’s Oxygen Health Association. Dr. Inoue, who has spent decades researching the relationship between oxygen levels in the body and the quality of human health, got his idea by watching goldfish swimming.
What would be the effect on people, he wondered. If we could move like fish?
Engineers took his basic concept and designed the Chi Machine. ® “The pattern of motion the machine generates in the human body uses minimum effort and achieves maximum results,” says Dr. Inoue. “It improves the basic metabolism of the body, increases our energy, adds flexibility to our lives and improves our attitude. It can also increase our sense of awareness, balancing the mind/body connection.
How it Works
The machine creates a swinging motion (see our video) that closely resembles a gold fish swimming. This oscillating motion maximizes the movement of all the body cells, which in turn supports deep relief. Traditional forms of vigorous exercise provide health benefits, but most CONSUME vital oxygen and compress intervertebral disks and make you feel tired. The Chi Machine supports your body’s health without creating an energy loss, undue stress to the body, or that ‘over worked’ feeling.
How Does it Help
The Chi Machine® stimulates an exclusive body response through gentle “figure 8” oscillations with the body helping to:
- Temporarily relieves minor muscle aches, pain and tension caused by fatigue or overexertion
- Temporarily increases local blood circulation
- Relaxes muscles locally
- Relieve vertebra joint pressure
- Promotes a sense of well being
