This article discusses the series of trials undertaken on the Surge Chi Exerciser by the Energy for Health in 2005, with 145 health professional and yoga teachers, as well as the results from the 100 logs received at the time of writing this piece.
The aim of the trial included gathering information on the use and benefits of the variable speed functionality of the Chi Exerciser and the Auto Programmes provided on the Surge of Chi Mark 2; gauging levels of recommendation from qualified therapists as well as the physical, mental and emotional benefits identified by them from regular use of the Exerciser.
The general consensus of the participants (who were asked to complete a 30-day daily log of their experience, perceived benefits, speed settings and Auto programmes) was that it was very energizing and also excellent for de-stressing.
Overall, the trials confirmed ease of use of the Chi Exerciser and its broad range of potential benefits, not just at the physical but also mental and emotional levels.
