HISTORY OF THE CHI MACHINE

The Chi Machine® Therapeutic Massager is the culmination of 38 years of research and development by Dr. Shizuo Inoue, a medical visionary and developer of the world renowned Chi Machine®.

The patented precision design of this innovative medical device utilizes optimum body positioning to achieve the ultimate in local muscle relaxation. This design also provides temporary relief from minor muscular aches due to overexertion.

Dr. Inoue spent decades researching the relationship between body movement and minor muscular pain & tension caused by fatigue or overexertion. He was inspired by watching goldfish swimming.

Dr. Inoue thought that perhaps the steady undulation causes the fish whole body to be massaged and provided it with some of its benefits. He wondered what would be the effect on people if we could move like fish?

Engineers took his basic concept and created the technical design for The Chi Machine® "the pattern of motion that the machine generates in the human body uses minimum effort and achieves maximum results," says Dr. Inoue. "It relaxes muscles locally, temporarily increases our comfort, and adds temporary relief to minor tension in muscles from fatigue or overexertion. It can also increase our sense of comfort, through the temporary relief of minor muscle pain and aches, due to fatigue or overexertion."
