Best Chi Machines
Chi Machine Reviews: Chi machines are in the same class of motor driven Do It Yourself (DIY) passive exercise machines like the motor driven passive leg exerciser for seniors and the passive motor driven pedal exercisers. However, unlike these exercisers, chi machines are devices designed to stimulate the body's energy flow and promote relaxation. Furthermore, like these exercisers, chi machines also improve circulation.
In fact, chi machines create a dynamic wave of sideways motion travelling up and down the spine at a fixed or variable oscillation frequency. Now, the original purpose of creating this sideways oscillation was to stimulate an area that is three finger widths below and two finger widths behind the navel. Also, one of the chi machine benefits is stimulation of the autonomic nervous system located within the spinal column. As a result, breathing gets deeper demonstrating that the body is experiencing a stimulating form of exercise.
