What are Swing Machines?

Passive aerobic exercisers , or Swing Machines, employ a side to side swinging motion in order to oxygenate, tone, and strengthen the body while increasing the feelings of aliveness and well-being.  That is, they raise the Chi or life force energyin the body.

In Chinese self-care medical terms, the Swing Machine is said to increase "Chi" which means, to enhance the flow of life energy in the body.  Using a Passive Aerobic Exerciser helps improve circulation and cell oxygenation just as aerobic exercise does, but without raising blood pressure or heart rate.   Daily use improves the body's metabolism, helps align the spine, stimulates the immune system, releases muscle tension, and gently manipulates the internal organs. Many users report increased energy and rapid relief of  stress and tension; also many individuals comment on relief of chronic back or neck pain within a matter of days.

Increased oxygenation of the blood takes place due to lateral flexing of the spine, which stimulates the autonomic nervous system to open the bronchioles. Once there is increased oxygenation, the circulation automatically increases to pick up the additional oxygen. The graviational angle of the legs and the rocking of the sacrum causes improvement in lymphatic drainage and the frequency of the motion in combination with the "figure 8" rocking creates the normalization of cerebral spinal flow.  In addition, measurements have shown that the use of the machine creates an Alpha state in the brain, which bridges the gap between the conscious and subconscious mind, inducing light meditation.

Using a Swing Machine for15 minutes, twice a day, tones the body, strengthens the abdominal area and may increase metabolism when used in conjunction with a reasonable diet program. Reduce pounds and inches off your waist line. Firm and tone your thighs, hips and buttocks.

How are they used?

Place the machine on a rug.  Lie on your back and put your ankles in the grooves of the footrest on top of the machine.  Adjust the speed control to your desired rate (on models that feature speed controls) then set the timer switch to activate the unit for the number of minutes desired.  The footrest will begin to move back and forth, carrying your feet briskly from side to side.  The movement will carry up through your legs and torso, throughout your entire body, causing you to wiggle back and forth like a fish swimming in water.  All you do is relax and breathe deeply, letting the machine rock you gently but firmly for 15 minutes.  When the time is up, remain lying down for another two to five minutes, enjoying the remarkable afterglow .....Chi....as it moves throughout your body.   Swing Machines are an ideal therapy tool for Home Use, in Chiropractic offices, for Physical Therapists, Body Workers , Health Spas and more.
