Chi Machine and CleansingFor those who don't know yet, a chi machine It is believed this action helps to release tension, move the lymphatic system, help circulation, and is considered passive exercise. I like to use a chi machine to assist during a colon cleanse program, as it seems to help move my lymph. I came across this during a massage therapy session. The therapist picked up my feet at one point and started to move them in a figure 8 herself. Quite surprised, I had to tell her how great it felt. I just wished she could have done it longer. She was the first who suggested the machine to me. About a year later, someone brought one of these devices into my office for a demonstration. I tried five minutes and I loved it. Yet I wasn't ready to pay the $500 price tag. I finally decided to purchase when I found a chi exercise machine I do believe it helps with circulation of both the blood and the lymphatic system, which assists my body's detoxification processes. It is also said to open up the bronchial tubes to increase oxygen intake. If you are a follower of Eastern philosophies, this massage may increase your flow of chi or life force. It is interesting that many chiropractors advocate the use of incline boots to allow a client to hang and let the spine adjust itself. I believe this is the same thing that happens while on the chi machine with the figure 8 motion. After a 10 minute session with mine, I can tell my body is looser and I can even stretch farther. As far as weight loss or other claims made, I think that would depend upon the individual and of course one must consider diet and other lifestyle habits. But as far as exercise, some movement is healthier than none! I use a model called the Swing Master. I love it and the price. My only complaint is that sometimes it seems to have a "click" that disrupts the smooth flow. The problem is only intermittent and may be due to age (I've had it for about 8 years).

is a massage device. The way it works is as follows: you place your ankles on the device while the rest of you lies flat on your back. Your ankles and feet are now elevated by about 6-12 inches. When the device is turned on, it moves your feet in a figure 8 motion, which sends a "wave" up your spine.
for what I considered a better price. I love it and use it to this day.
