The FlexxiCore arrived in perfect condition but is poorly designed, causes pain in knees, hips, back and does not produce the pleasant tingling.
The FlexxiCore arrived in perfect condition.
The design of the product improved on some of the features of the original Chi Machine; I have the Sun Ancon Chi Machine. The saddle where you put your ankles has separated the ankle positions slightly and padded them, which allows for a larger person to rest their feet more easily on the machine, and is more comfortable on the ankles than the Sun Ancon. And, I suppose it is nice to be able to adjust the speed of the movement. The advantages end there.
The FlexxiCore holds the feet too high, so that the movement of the machine actually causes a misalignment in the hips and back, rather than to aid in gently re-aligning. The higher elevation of the feet causes the knees to hyper-extend.
The old Sun Ancon, while the feet are positioned close together and the places to position the ankles have no padding, its lower positioning and steady movement is much more ergonomically designed for correct adjustment of the knees, hips, and back. The lack of padding can be compensated for with a folded towel or something similar. The positioning and the steady movement of the old Sun Ancon results in greater chi stimulation, blood flow and correct body alignment at the end of the treatment.
