Using the Chi Swing is simple: Place the machine on a rug. Lie on your back and put your ankles in the grooves of the footrest on top of the machine. Then set the timer switch to activate the Chi Swing for the number of minutes desired. The footrest will begin to move back and forth, carrying your feet briskly from side to side. The movement will carry up through your legs and torso, throughout your entire body, causing you to wiggle back and forth like a fish swimming in water. All you do is relax and breathe deeply, letting the machine rock you gently but firmly for a maximum of 15 minutes. When the time is up, remain lying down for another two to five minutes, enjoying the remarkable afterglow of free flowing life energy as it moves throughout your body. The Chi Swing is patented in 26 countries, FDA regulated as a Class 1 Medical Device in the US, and is licensed as a medical device in Canada and Japan. The Chi Swing is an ideal therapy tool for Chiropractors, Physical Therapists, Licensed Massage Therapists and other health care professionals.

Reviewer: Andrew from Petaluma, California |
What an amazing device. My 81 year old father uses his Exerciser every day to help his blood circulation. I found that my muscles recover much quicker after a 50 mile bike ride when I use the Exerciser afterward. My favorite time to use the Exerciser is just before bed. Thanks Overstock.com for a great price on a quality passive exerciser. |
Amazon.com offers Chi Swings slightly less expensive than Overstock, but Amazon represents third party distributors who apply their own shipping and handling costs while Overstock charges as little as a dollar for shipping and handling. Decide who has the best equipment from the reviews and warranties:
You think you can find it less expensive at eBay? As long as you don't mind bidding because people sure love Chi Swings!:
Am I really exercising on the Chi Swing?
15 minutes on the Chi Swing is equivalent to 90 minutes of walking exercise in terms of oxygenation of the blood whilst the internal organs are massaged simultaneously by the gentle movement. It is extremely valuable to those who through age or physical limitations are unable to exercise. Using a minimum amount of effort, a maximum amount of benefit is achieved. This is an aerobic exercise that will not tire you. It is not an aerobic exercise that pushes you beyond your capacity. Keep using it and you will be repaid with good health.
Is this type of exercise beneficial?
Every day, people consume a chemical cocktail from residues in farm products and processed foods. Water supplies are often contaminated, we suffer from air pollution, badly ventilated rooms, lack of exercise, and an excess of highly processed foods and additives. All this is compounded by stress and sedentary lifestyles. The side effects of drugs can cause many ailments, among them - exhaustion, muscle stiffness, dizziness, numbness, pains, itchiness, inflammation and sometimes panic attacks. The Chi Swing will help eliminate body toxins and provide the essential benefits of exercise without putting stress on the spinal vertebrae, joints, heart and lungs and without depleting vital body energy levels or causing injury. This can be done at any time, anywhere by anyone!
How do I know if my body is needing oxygenation?
Ask yourself if you have any of the following problems:
If three or more of these statements apply to you, your body may not be assimilating sufficient oxygen. You may wish to have your blood oxygen levels tested both before and after you use the Chi Swing.
Why you have to drink water before and after using the "Chi Machine"?
Before and after using the "Chi Swing" you have to drink some water to help facilitate the removal of circulatory and metabolic waste materials from the body by way of urine. This promotes good health.
Why do you have to remain lying still for two or three minutes after using the "Chi Swing?"
When the "Chi Machine stops, it is highly recommended that you not immediately get up because you will have the sense of total collapse from head to toe, the entire body. This is what Chinese herbal doctors call the "oxygen-blood circulation." In fact, "Chi" is sending messages throughout the internal body. Those who practice "Chi Gong" are aware of this mysterious phenomenon. This internal massage that occurs after the machine has stopped can produce as much as 60% of the machine`s total effect -- even greater than the effect produced during the actual swinging itself.
Why is the "Chi Swing" an aerobic exercise machine that increases oxygen?
Why does "swinging" with the "Chi Swing" for fifteen minutes have the effect of walking 10,000 steps?During use, the "Chi Swing" can stimulate gangliated nerves, expand capillaries, enhance the ability to inhale oxygen so that it can reach cells located deep into tissues and between cell boundaries, increase the oxygenation of blood, and activate cells. This respiratory oxygen process is a key to increased cell metabolism and improved health.
Research shows that when you swing on a "Chi Swing" for 15 minutes, it can produce the same effect as walking 10,000 steps.
In other words, it can consume the equivalent amount of calorie burning oxygen consumed during one and one half-hour`s of walking. Therefore, 15 minutes of swinging is often too aggressive for those who are not used to such vigorous activity. They will complain of fatigue or even feel generalized pain. They are simply out of shape or they haven't fully recovered from unrelated injuries. But, after one has used it for some period of time, some forget that 15 minutes of swinging equals 10,000 steps and wonder why they don't feel tired. One forgets because you lie down during the exercise and you experience no pressure, your body has total support and you feel relaxed. You will feel so at ease and so comfortable. In addition, this is an aerobic exercise performed without getting tired. It is not anaerobic exercise that pushes you beyond your capacity. Keep using it and you will be repaid with good health.
Has the efficacy of the "Chi Swing" been verified as a health appliance by any recognized agency?
Yes, it has. It has been verified and certified by Japan`s Medical Affairs Bureau. Moreover, it has been patented in many countries.
Do you have to be young and healthy to use the Chi Machine?
Due to its low impact operation, it does no harm to the frail or elderly. In fact there are some categories of people such as the wheelchair bound and movement impaired who benefit greatly from the gentle massaging effect created by the exerciser and its assistance in the movement of lymphatic fluid in the body.
What effect does the Chi Swing have on Lymph fluids?
Lymph can only be moved around the body as the result of physical activity. The Chi Swing effectively moves the body's fluids and aids the Lymphatic system - particularly important for those who get very little exercise. Professor Neil Piller (a world renowned Lymphoma researcher) said he has found the Chi Swing to be the most efficient method of lymph drainage that he has come across. It is also excellent in removing lactic acid (a problem suffered by athletes).
I have just had surgery. Can I use the "Chi Machine?"
No. You can not use it unless the wound is closed and healed. In addition, neither can it be used during early pregnancy or shortly after spontaneous labor.
What if I've got high blood pressure?
Passive aerobic exercise using the Chi Swing results in blood oxygenation without physical effort, so neither heart rate nor blood pressure is raised.
Can it cause any harm or side effects?
Massage/exercise in the lying down position ensures no possible injury. The heartbeat and blood pressure do not increase because no effort is exerted. (Massage in this context means the gentle massage effect on the internal organs that occurs with the wave-like movements of the body)
Is this a good way to exercise regularly?
The simplicity of use and the portability of the Chi Swing offers a convenient way for busy people to cultivate a vital exercise habit.
