The Chi Machine
The Chi-Machine from www.hsintenaust.com.au is a product which I believe will benefit whoever uses it and I also include it as a relaxation technique within sound therapy sessions.The Chi machine is fast becoming a household name and its very positive benefits are beginning to draw attention from many health professionals within a wide range of disciplines such as chiropractors, osteopaths, massage therapists, doctors and therapists in general as an addition to their own therapies. They are used in the home, clinics and hospitals worldwide.

How did it come about?
The Sun Ancon® Oxygen Exerciser is also called the Chi Machine®. The Chi Machine is the brilliant culmination of 38 years of research, hard work, and the insight of Japanese medical doctor Shizuo Inoue, Chairman of Oxygen Association of Japan. Dr. Inoue has been researching the functions of oxygen motion in the human body in the realm of medicine and science for 38 years.
How does it work?
The principles of the Chi Machine are based on the results of his intensive research. During use, the Chi Machine can stimulate gangliated nerves, expand capillaries, enhance the ability to inhale oxygen so that it can reach cells located deep in tissues and between cell boundaries, increase the the oxygenation of blood and activate calls. This respiratory oxygen process is a key to increased cell metabolism and improved health. The device promotes gentle and rhythmic exercise based on medical and physiological sciences. Human spinal design permits lateral twisting - a fish-like movement that serves to relieve vertebra joint pressure and promotes a sense of well being.
Unlike children, adults seldom realize the benefit of this bodily movement. Consequently, stress and tension simply accumulate in the body. Observe how a baby stretches and twists in its crib. This is a natural human movement that simultaneously relaxes and relieves minor muscle aches and pains. When we observe animals or sea creatures we notice the serpentine movement in their walking, running and swimming motion. This natural action helps maintain health.
Many hospitals in Japan now highly rate it as an important clinical, medical and health maintenance appliance. Anyone who has used the Chi Machine can tell you - when you lie on your back with your feet elevated on the Chi Machine's footrest, with your legs swinging gently from left to right in that regular, relaxing pattern - you swivel from foot to waist, from waist to chest, and from the chest to the cervical vertebra and the head. The entire spinal column and all of its muscles are exercised. The Chi Machine drives the two rotating regions (the neck and the waist) and causes a motion much like that of a fish swimming in water. We have all noticed when a fish swims, its tail gently swings and generates movement of the entire spinal column and all muscles. It was from this phenomenon that Dr. Inoue drew his inspiration and invented the Chi Machine. Dr. Inoue calls this "the goldfish method".
