SUN ANCON Aerobic Exerciser (hereafter referred to as Chi Machine) is the result of the hard work, wisdom and thirty-eight years of research by  medical doctor Shizuo Inoue, Director of the Oxygen Association in Japan. This scientific product employs aerobic exercise that combines human body science and medical science.

The idea behind this unusual aerobic exerciser was suggested by Dr. Inoue, Chairman of Japan’s Oxygen Health Association. Dr. Inoue, who has spent decades researching the relationship between oxygen levels in the body and the quality of human health, got his idea by watching goldfish swimming.

Noting how remarkable healthy and well-toned fish are, Dr. Inoue thought that perhaps the steady undulation of the spine causes the Fish’s whole body to be exercised and oxygenated.

What would be the effect on people, he wondered, if we could move like fish?

Engineers took his basic concept and designed the Chi Machine. " The pattern of motion the machine generates in the human body uses minimum effort and achieves maximum results," says Dr. Inoue. "It improves the basic metabolism of the body, increases our energy, adds flexibility to our lives and improves our attitude. It can also increase our sense of awareness, balancing the mind/body connection."   For more on Dr. Inoue and patent information Click Here.  Beware of fake Chi Machines!  Chi...for Life Force Energy.

The Chi Machine has been patented in 27 countries including the United States, Britain, Germany, Japan, Australia, etc. It received the Silver Eagle Award at the Second Asia-Pacific Direct-Selling Congress in 1993 and is registered as a medical appliance by Japan's Medical Affairs Bureau (Type No. 02B, Serial No, 1539). Now many hospitals are praising it as the best clinical medical and health restorative appliance.

When the human body is lying flat on a bed, the neck and waist are elevated. When we are tired after working hard and then try to sleep in bed, our body will ache because our lower back cannot touch the bed. Putting a pillow under the small of the back will help somewhat.

We can observe from the human anatomy that only the concave parts -- the neck and waist -- can rotate -- just like the wheel on an axle. 

Anyone that has used the Chi Machine understands that when your feet are slightly elevated on the Chi Machine, you swing from left to right, from foot to waist, from chest to cervical vertebra, your head, even the spinal cord and muscles. The Chi machine drives the two pivot points just like a fish swimming in water. 

Dr. Inoue named it the "gold fish method" inspired by gold fish swimming in water. Why? When you see fish swimming, you observe that its tail gently swings, then it causes movement of spinal cord and muscles. Thus, the Chi Machine brings into full play the movement orbits of human anatomy.
