The Doctors TV Show - Video of Segment on The Chi Machine

Show Synopsis

If you have swelling or pain in your legs, or just want to improve circulation, a little shaking may be all you need. The Chi Machine was created to simulate the motion a goldfish makes when it swims.

"It has that gentle rocking," acupuncturist and doctor of oriental medicine Dr. Michael Yang says. "If you feel relaxed, I think we can all agree that that has so many positive effects on complex pain syndromes," Dr. Yang adds.

Sarah Kate suffers from fibromyalgia, and tried the Chi Machine for two weeks. The results were dramatic.

"It's amazing," she reports. "I never, ever expected it to work, and I feel incredible. The swelling in my legs has gone down. The pain is so much easier to handle. Even my skin cleared up. I just never expected just shaking my legs to do such incredible things."
