 Experience the movement and relaxation of the passive exerciser during your visits in our clinic.
The Chi Machine By Sun Harmony™ is a passive exercise machine which can offer some of the benefits of aerobic exercise without stress or impact on the joints. Passive exercise is becoming more and more popular in the United States. Added Benefits include:
Several studies indicate this type of passive exercise can be extremely beneficial especially to those who are unable to exercise on their own. Although passive exercise does not increase the heart rate or burn as many calories as true aerobic exercise, you can still enjoy many other remarkable aerobic benefits such as increased circulation, oxygenation of the blood and movement of the lymph fluid, which can be beneficial to the immune system.
Originally, when the Chi Machine By Sun Harmony™ first came to the USA, the FDA would only allow it to be sold as an exercise device. Now, the machine is sold to health care providers and recognized by insurance companies as a medical device to people with circulatory problems and chronic ailments such as heart disease and diabetes. Using the Chi Machine By Sun Harmony™ for a period of 15 minutes (2 times daily) is equivalent to the oxygen benefits of 90 minutes of aerobic exercise. You may exercise, passively, and relax at the same time. The Chi Machine By Sun Harmony™ moves your body in a figure 8 motion, just like a fish moving through the water. This motion helps fish retrieve oxygen from the water and helps you retrieve an increased amount of oxygen from the air. By increasing oxygen in the red blood cells, the cells are more nourished, ailments disappear and you experience increased energy. How does this Amazing Machine Technically Work?  Increased oxygenation of the blood takes place due to lateral flexion of the spine, which stimulates the autonomic nervous system to open the bronchioles. Once there is increased oxygenation, the circulation automatically increases to pick up the additional oxygen. The gravitational angle of the legs and the rocking of the sacrum causes improvement in lymphatic drainage, and the frequency of the motion in combination with the "figure 8" rocking creates the normalization of cerebral spinal flow. In addition, measurements have shown that the use of the machine creates an Alpha state in the brain, which bridges the gap between the conscious and subconscious mind, inducing light meditation. The Chi Machine By Sun Harmony™ moves your entire body, but most importantly, it is moving one of the largest muscle groups in the body, your legs. This motion causes your blood to efficiently circulate throughout your entire body. Your cells absorb oxygen, and toxins are removed more easily. This is not a 10 kilometer run kind of workout, where one gets all sweaty and exhausted. Instead you just put your towel or mat down on the floor, lie down, relax, and feel the gentle swing motion as it rejuvenates the whole body in just a few minutes. Highly recommended! Release of Nitric Oxide and Endorphins Studies indicate this type of passive exercise movement helps the body to release nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a natural anti-inflammatory similar to Cortisone™ without the side effects. Nitric oxide is beneficial to the cardio-vascular system as it helps regulate many body functions including blood pressure and blood flow. Studies indicate this type of passive exercise movement helps the body to release endorphins. Endorphins are a group of substances formed within the body that naturally relieve pain and provide the feeling of “well-being”. They have a similar action as morphine and codeine without the side effects. Movement of the Lymph Fluid is very Important The lymphatic system is spread like a web throughout the body. There are tiny vessels that carry a colorless fluid called lymph. Suspended in the fluid are lymphocytes, white blood cells whose purpose is to fight disease and infection. Connecting this network are small bean sized organs called lymph nodes; the lymph nodes, which are connected in the arm pits, neck, groin, chest, and abdomen filter the fluid and initiate the body’s immune response. The lymphatic system, which also includes the spleen, thymus, tonsils, and bone marrow, is constantly defending the body against millions of microscopic attackers. The lymphatic system is given considerable attention in the treatment of toxicity as well as reducing edema. Lack of exercise can cause the lymphatic system to become sluggish which can cause circulation to the tissue cells to be impaired. This, in turn, can affect the removal of toxic waste. If the toxins are not eliminated from the cells effectively, this can lead to many different disorders which can affect the immune system. OXYGEN...Your Health Depends on It! If you have body weakness, fatigue, circulation problems, poor digestion, muscle aches and pains, depression, or memory loss it could be caused by a lack of oxygen. If your immune system is compromised by a lack of oxygen, your body is more susceptible to bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections, colds, and flu. Oxygen deprivation can lead to life threatening diseases, such as cancer. Most infections or diseases, including cancer, do not live well in an oxygen rich environment. If your body is oxygen deficient, vital nutrients from food and nutritional supplements cannot be metabolized effectively and can impair the oxidation and elimination of toxins in your body. The original "Passive Exerciser", known as The Chi Machine, was originally distributed by Sun Harmony Chi Machine Company in 1990 and invented by Dr. Inoue. Later in the 1990's, Clifford Clark invented the second version of the chi machine and named it the Exerciser 2000 Elite™. The first version of the Chi Machine By Sun Harmony™ is the most durable version and provides a good warranty of service ($480). The Exerciser 2000 Elite™ version of the chi machine, is a good product and also provides a good warranty. ($390) Price quotes as of 4/30/2009. |
