The Chi Machine®

The Chi Machine® Therapeutic Massager helps virtually anyone locally relax muscles with little or no conscious effort.

The Chi Machine® can be used for body, shoulder, neck and foot massage.

The Chi Machine® uses both massage movements and far infrared heat to deliver precise stimulation to the vital points to leave you destressed.

Background

The Chi Machine®  is the culmination of 38 years of research and development by Dr. Shizuo Inoue, a medical visionary and the developer of the world renowned The Chi Machine®. 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 thought that perhaps the steady undulation causes the whole fish's body to be massaged and provides it some of it benefits. He wondered what would be the effect on people if they could move like fish?

Engineers took his basic concept and created the technical design of The Chi Machine®. "The pattern of motion that the machine generates in the human body uses minimal effort and achieve 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."

Since 1990, over one million Chi Machines® have been sold worldwide. The Chi Machine® has gained a tremendous reputation for its solid construction and outstanding benefits. The Chi Machine® is easy to use and provides excellent results without stress or injury to the body.

Features

Massage is the manipulation of soft tissue for the purpose of increasing overall comfort by temporarily relieving minor muscular pain and discomfort caused by fatigue or overexertion. The first records of massage date back 3000 years to early Chinese folk medicine. Western civilizations were introduced to the benefits of massage by Greek and Roman physicians.

The Chi Machine® blends the ancient arts with modern technology for a unique experience. The Chi Machine® maximizes movement of the body which helps to provide prompt temporary relief. Fatigue or excess physical exertion can generally lead to minor muscular aches, pains, and tension. The Chi Machine® supports temporary relief from these conditions without creating undue stress to bodily structures or additional muscular overexertion.

Because the massage with The Chi Machine® is performed while you are reclining and relaxed, with weight removed from the spine, you will immediately notice a sense of extreme comfort and pleasure.
