The Chi Machine® Therapeutic Massager helps virtually anyone locally relax muscles with little or no conscious effort. Simply recline your body, facing the ceiling, with both feet placed in the specially designed footrest. The Chi Machine® rocks the entire body from side to side in a gentle undulating motion.
The patented precision design of this innovative medical device utilizes optimum body positioning to achieve the ultimate in local muscle relaxation. This design also provides temporary relief from minor muscular aches due to overexertion. Dr. Inoue spent decades researching the relationship between body movement and minor muscular pain and tension caused by fatigue or overexertion. He was inspired by watching goldfish swim. Dr. Inoue theorized that perhaps the steady undulating movement causes a massaging effect upon the body of the fish. He wondered whether the same effect would be achieved, if humans were able to imitate the movements of a fish. Engineers took his basic concept and created the technical design for The Chi Machine®.
“The pattern of motion that the machine generates in the human body uses minimum effort and achieves maximum results,” says Dr. Inoue. “It relaxes muscles locally, temporarily increases our comfort, adds temporary relief to minor tension in muscles from fatigue or overexertion. It can also increase our sense of comfort, through the temporary relief of minor muscle pain and aches, due to fatigue or overexertion.”
Place the machine on the floor. Lie on your back and place your ankles in the grooves of the footrest on top of the machine. Set the timer switch to activate the machine for the number of minutes you desire. First time users should start with 2-5 minutes.
The footrest will begin to move back and forth, carrying your feet briskly from side to side. This movement will carry up through your legs and torso, throughout your entire body, causing you to undulate back and forth exactly, like a fish swimming in water!
All you have to do now is relax and breathe deeply, letting The Chi Machine® rock you gently but firmly for a maximum of 15 minutes. When the time is up and the machine stops, remain lying down for another two to five minutes, relaxing and breathing deeply, enjoying the remarkable comfort and feelings of relief.
Although The Chi Machine® is an effective and safe method of massage therapy, its use is NOT advised in the ollowing situations without prior medical advice: during pregnancy; within three months of having had major surgery or bone fracture; if suffering from serious heart disease, or a serious infection; if suffering from any bleeding injury, or if suffering from epilepsy.
