Guest guest Posted September 8, 2000 Report Share Posted September 8, 2000 Hud: You get what you put into it. You could get a good workout if you combine it with barbell lifting. I usually bounce up and down for 20 minutes every other day. Sometimes I use some light barbells at the same time to maintain some muscle tone. Dr. Cheney believes it tones auto. nervous system, helps drain lymphatic system and improves gastro. function. I feel an increase in energy shortly after using it and I have noticed a reduction in my Raynaud's symptoms since I began using it. I think it's definitely worth the investment if you have any signs of auto. dysfunction. The astronauts use a similar device when they return from space (causes temporary dyautonomia).

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2000 Report Share Posted September 8, 2000 I don't know if the balls have as much of a " bounce-back " . With the chair you bounce up and down a good 8 inches and have back support but the principle is probably the same. The ball may be a good, cheap alternative. I would have tried one if I knew they existed before I bought the chair. However, at that time I was very weak and probably needed the back support.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2000 Report Share Posted September 8, 2000 Steve, So you have a bounce back chair, huh? What is your evaluation of it? Do you think that this device has helped you to improve your autonomic nervous system functioning? Does it feel like good exercise when you do it? Thanks, Hud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2000 Report Share Posted November 30, 2000 I tried the economical alternative. $11. Went to Toys R US an bought the bouncing ball. It is plastic ball you sit on, hold a handle and bounce. Great results. But it gave major spinal pain. Conclusion? Maybe the rebound it delivers is not adeaquate for adults. Too harsh. Do you guys get back pain from the chair? My 5 year is the big bouncer now. She loves it. Well at least it was not wasted money! You what I mean. If had a refund for all the supplements that I tried that did not work I would be a lot richer! > Judith, > > I will be around tommorrow and this weekend if you want to take a look at > the bounce-back chair.

Cheney said for those who don't have balance problems, this will deliver substantially the same benefits. I actually found gently bouncing on it standing up was easier though (you have to hold on to the sides of it when you bounce and this may be why I actually found this to be require more energy than standing up on it). I think you could go to a sporting goods store and try one out to see if it would work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2000 Report Share Posted December 9, 2000 I've read it before but have forgotten. What is the benefit of bouncing? Something with the lymph system?

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 Phil, The BB chair or any device providing a similar affect (ball, trampoline) is used primarily to slow down, keep in check, or partially reverse autonomic dysfunction. This is not a symptom experienced by all PWC's. Other supposed benefits are it's helping speed the draining of the lymphatic system and improve GI function. Steve B.
