A friend highly recommended the Chi Master to help get my lymphatic system moving. So I bought it on the strength of her recommendation and I LOVE it! I've had the same one for several years. It was a good investment and has more than paid for itself. It still works perfectly. All I do is lay on the floor, put my legs up, and about 15 minutes or so later I can feel the tingling all over my body and I feel relaxed. I find it especially helpful when doing fascia work on my thighs to remove cellulite. It seems to move fluid that helps my legs look smoother. That's a great benefit for the beach!

Like many people, I saw this machine on the TV show “Better Call Saul” and I was intrigued. It has been impressive, relaxing and helps loosen my back. It is very well made and sturdy and also works well for my much larger husband.

It's a replacement for one that I bought in 1996, used daily until it stopped working Oct 4, 2023. I can't complain after nearly 30 years of NO problems or maintenance ever-- it was made of heavier older-type materials , and its exercise effect is the same.I saved $450 on the new one-- it's made of very lightweight materials, which is OK. I have ONE real complaint: It lacks a carrying handle, not easy to move around. My old one had a sturdy one.

I originally bought this item as a means to gain energy because in the past I've been tired most of the time. In which I can say the shaking of my legs(from this Swing Master) at a good speed does wake me up. But at the same time you can fall asleep while using this product if you're already sleepy, and laying on your back.So what I did to correct that is to position myself around this chi swing machine in untraditional ways: for I might lay on my side with ankles on holders, or I might put the area under my knees on the holders, or I my sit up with my arms on holders, or I might sit in a chair with my ankles going down into holders. In which the above keeps me up while giving me energy.Furthermore this thing loosens up my hips(making me more balanced), and better able to walk in harmony(something my torn meniscus had robbed me of). So all in all I can say this machine does deliver good results.

I've had this for 4 weeks. I am 72 years old with MS in remission and scoliosis. My ankles were swollen and I didn't exercise much at all. I walk with a cane when I am out and about. I got the Swing Master Chi Machine, Model US1201 because I wanted something that would give me an aerobic workout, which would also help with circulation problems and I liked that it was variable speed. My ankles are not so swollen now. My right ankle looks normal and my left ankle, which suffered a fall a few years ago, is looking close to normal. At the end of the day, there is a little swelling in both of them but not much.I seem to have more energy and more stamina. At first, I thought it was my imagination. I still have to pace myself but I am getting more accomplished throughout the day now. I started out on the low speed for not many minutes but gradually increased it. I am just shy of using the highest speed for the full 15 minutes but do ramp it up a few minutes during that time. I do two 15 minute sessions--one in the morning and one in the evening. Yes, like all exercise, I feel sore and have to use moderation.During this 4 week period, at times I've not done a full 15 minute session, instead I did a 5 minute session or a 10 minute session twice a day or even once a day. A few days I skipped because I felt too tired. With that said, it is great there is so much control over the period of time you do it and the speed levels. I find it both relaxing and invigorating when I'm on it. The price was affordable on my fixed income and I am glad I bought it.

Amazon asked me to rate on different aspects; pain relief, sturdiness, and ease of use. Well, in my opinion, if it causes pain, the other two don't matter. However, to be fair, it is. easy to use. You just turn the dial and it's sturdy as it doesn't rock. It just sits on the floor.So I'm old now. I'm 40 so maybe that's why I'm starting to have back problems. But I was hoping that this would work. But really, I was getting laid off and I needed to use my FSA money before I lost it. So I got this machine because it was within my FSA budget and I had only days left to use it or lose it.So in this regard, this is a very expensive loss for me, because it causes lower back pain I cannot use it, and I can't return it because FSA has rules like that. It's unfortunate because FSA is my money i've earned but it's pre tax, so it can only be used for health care items, and can only be returned to the FSA account and not exchange for cash or Amazon gift card. It can be returned back to FSA account, but that won't exist tomorrow.I'm so disappointed It's so expensive for such a colossal waste of money. You lay down, you put your feet in there. The ankles are a little bit uncomfortable. It's not terrible. You can control how fast it goes from turning the dial.After I did it, it feels interesting immediately after, but doesn't hurt the first day, the first use. The next day my lower back started to become quite acutely painful when I awoke. I used the machine four more times to see if it just needed to get broken in or adjusted to it, because I read the review that said it took her a week (however she thinks it detoxes her body, so, should in hindsight, maybe not the most reliable review. After 5 uses, my lower back is seriously painful right now.I can't use it and I can't return it, and I'm really upset about this. Learn a lesson from my loss.

I had hoped that the pivot point of the motion would be located at the small of my back,L5:S1.Instead, it seems to rock my legs back-and-forth from the hip joints. Not sure if that’s gonna do me any good. It does seem to work my abdominals, though, and that’s a good thing.
