Chi Machine Instructions
How to Use the Chi Machine

Position the Chi Machine on a firm surface with the handle facing away from you.

Drink an 8-ounce glass of room temperature water before and after using the Chi Machine.

Stretch out your lower back first, then lay down on the floor.

Center your body with the arrow on the machine and place your feet in the cradle so that your ankles are 1-2 inches over the edge of the cradle (the bottom of your calf should be resting on the cradle). You may want to wear heavy socks - make sure to put the cradle cover on the chi machine.

Make sure you are comfortable lying there. If you have a tendency to lower back or knee pain, you may want to put a pillow under your knees for extra support until you are use to the movement of the chi machine.

Turn the timer switch on to activate the machine - first time users should NOT do more than 2-3 minutes, if in poor health less than 1 minute. Once you are used to the machine and its movement, you can increase your time in 5-minute increments. You may use the machine twice a day for maximum benefits.

Your body will feel a full body movement, do not fight this movement, stay relaxed and allow your body to move with the swing of the machine.

Breathe deeply and evenly during the movement.  Breathe in to the count of 7, hold to the count of 4, and exhale from your abdomen to the count of 8.  The time doesn't matter as much as the rhythm of your breathing.

When the machine stops, remain on the floor for 2-3 minutes before getting up. You may remove your feet from the cradle during this time. This is where your body benefits from the internal organ massage.

First, stretch out your spine and hips, then roll to one side and get up off the floor.

Remember to drink your other glass of water.

For people with low back pain or knee pain - try putting a pillow underneath your knees until your body adjusts to the movement of the Chi Machine.  Remember, start out slow, more is not necessarily better.

Caution: After use some reactions may occur. Some people may feel tired or sore in parts of their body after using the Chi Machine. Some dizziness may also occur for first time users. This is Healthy! Oxygen is being restored to your body's cells that may not have received proper amounts before. The initial dizziness will disappear with regular use and increased circulation. Use for shorter periods of time and then gradually increase time as tolerated. People with motion sickness or other serious medical problems should start with 30 seconds to 1 minute initially. You may use it several times daily. Always check with a physician before use with the Chi Machine if health issues are a concern. Precautions: Do Not use for at least 3 months after an operation or bone fracture, if suffering serious infection, have a bleeding injury or heart disease, during pregnancy, within 30 minutes of eating, if extreme pain occurs during use, investigate the cause and correct the problem before reusing use of the machine.
