FlexxiCore Passive Exerciser Chi Swing Machine with Heavy-Duty Motor The FlexxiCore Passive Exerciser is an exercise machine designed for use in clinics and at home by users of all ages and fitness levels. It is an advanced version of a class of products often generically known as "chi machines". The user simply lies down, placing their legs on a cushioned cradle, which the FlexxiCore's heavy-duty motor swings smoothly from side to side. A rhythmic motion is created as the body naturally responds to the sideways oscillation. Combining Back Care benefits with an Energizing Workout Enjoy the back care benefits of CPM (Continuous Passive Motion) with the energizing effects of the ever-popular chi machine design that was first invented in Japan 30 years ago. You'll feel the relaxing effects as the gentle rhythmic motion mobilises your back as your body responds naturally and without effort to the swinging of your feet. Origins in Japan The Japanese have been practising what they affectionately call 'goldfish exercise' since the 1920s, both as an exercise form in martial arts such as aikido, and in therapies such as shiatsu. About 30 years ago, they invented a simple but ingenious machine for use in the home, making this invigorating form of passive exercise easily accessible to anyone - regardless of their fitness level.

This means that each user can find the speed that resonates with their own feeling and objectives (which may be different in the morning and the evening). This opens up use to almost everyone of all age groups. Many with health or age-related conditions are not comfortable using the high fixed speeds of the first-generation "chi machines" that came out of Japan many years ago. These folks can enjoy the stimulating and relaxing exercise provided by regular use of the FlexxiCore without any stress or strain.
