How Does it work?

The Surge of Chi® Exerciser is placed on a firm flat surface, normally the floor. Use of a mat or rug, such as a yoga mat or comfortable rug, is recommended, though a clean carpeted surface is fine too. The user simply lies down and places their ankles on the cushioned footrest, which swings from side to side after the motor is turned on. This rhythmic motion creates a ‘figure of eight’ movement up and down the spine. The sideways movement of the footrest has a slightly elliptical trajectory, which provides a gentle twisting of the hips and spine.

This wave-like movement up and down the back replicates the spinal movement of fish and other animals as they move around.

The gentle massage of internal organs, musculature and body tissue provided by this motion has many effects including deeper respiration, stimulation of the nervous system, and improved circulation of the blood and lymph systems.

The Surge of Chi Exerciser also stimulates the flow of ‘chi’ throughout the body, and most people feel this as a tingling sensation in their limbs and torso, coupled with a heightened sense of well being, from their very first use of the Exerciser. This wonderful experience usually happens from their very first use of the Exerciser.

‘Chi’ is the Chinese word for ‘life force energy’, also called ‘ki’ in Japanese. Traditional Chinese Medicine aims to ensure the smooth flow of chi through the body's meridians. This approach is based on the belief that illness is generally caused by an imbalance of chi - t'ai chi, for example, is practised daily by millions of Chinese - more as a form of preventive healthcare than as a martial art.

Nature intended that regular exercise of the body – as we go about our daily routines - would stimulate the nervous system and all bodily functions so that we could stay in good health.

We need to gain a certain amount of exercise ‘credits’ every day if we are to maintain a positive balance in the health bank account. Many forms of vigorous exercise provide substantial credits - but can also involve some ‘debits’ from the extra oxygen consumption, excessive stresses and strain, and the general wear and tear of the body that all athletes and sportsmen have to endure.
