Chi Machine....not the hair straightener

[mmoons]

Hi all-

I have been thinking about making a purchase but wanted to tap into the smartest people I know for advice. I have been trying to get as much range of motion and feeling back as possible after surgery last year. I have been doing Rolfing Structural Integration treatments and I am SOOO happy with the results. The most notable difference is in my posture. I am a horrible sloucher…but this has helped. Anyway, she recommended a Chi Machine. Has anyone ever used one and, if so, were you happy that you did/do?

Thanks so much, my friends. Hugs to all of you!

I have a machine that makes Chi Latte's ... I just sprinkle a bit
of cinnamon on top ... yummy ... ;) I'm bad.

Maureen,
I have not heard of the chi machine, but am looking forward to hearing about it. I wanted to tell you that I love your blog! Great photos, too. Thanks for representing us on the research panel!

A friend of mine had/has a chi machine. I tried it a few times years ago. As I recall it made my back hurt a little but I might not have been using it properly. I'll ask her if she still has it and still uses it.

I just tried a chi-machine today for the first time... while I was waiting for my hubby to get his massage today, our massage therapist offered for me to lay with my ankles in the chi machine. It was pretty cool. I stayed on it for about 13 minutes...

Is it a big expense? I know that I am one of those people who buys things that sound good, but then I never use them..

I think my friend paid about $200 for her chi machine. She does use it still off and on and likes it. I'm going to try hers again, but I'm not sure if I'd buy one for myself. Like Bonnie, I may buy it and it would sit in the closet unused.

Hi Guys, I have a Chi machine, about a month now. My hip problems are bone spurs and little space between the ball and socket. My back problems are...standing up straight. It gets worse as the day goes on. The worse is when I first stand up after being seated for a while. It may take me 30 to 60 seconds before I can walk. The mussels in my legs are getting knots because they don't relax. The Chi really helps my legs work out those knots.

I hope the Chi machine will help with these problems. I am working up to 30 minutes morning and night. Also the Chi machine helps to fight cancer by putting more oxygen in your body.

This is great I will keep you guys posted. This giving me a great reason to be faithful with with this exercise.

It doesn't hurt... it really feels good. It also gives your organs a massage which help detox.

I lay on the floor.. put my ankles on the Chi ....watch TV and shake shake.
