About Us
Richard Millard is the MD of Energy for Health and here introduces the background to the company.
"Energy for Health was formed in 2002 with the aim of offering innovative and inexpensive tools for maintaining good health in the home, by combining the knowledge and expertise of East & West; North & South. The founders were my wife, Kimiyo, our good friend, Kate Quartermaine (pictured at the foot of this page), and me.
"Pictured here with Hannah McDonald (who moderates our Practitioner Forum) are Kimiyo and myself at a recent Exhibition in Olympia.
"Kimiyo is a State Registered Nurse with many years experience in Japanese hospitals. She has a searching eye when it comes to choosing quality healthcare products, and a deep interest in the many strands of traditional and modern medical knowledge that are evolving so fast these days.
"I have lived in Japan for over 10 years myself, and grew to appreciate the way in which Japanese society blends its traditional understanding and practices with all the new knowledge that is these days emerging from all corners of the world.
"The Japanese really seem to thrive by learning about anything that WORKS WELL - and then adapting it to their own needs. CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT IS THE WATCHWORD, and QUALITY is the result, no matter what the source of the knowledge, research, technology and materials.
"Our first project at Energy for Health was to research Chi Exercise Machines, a class of passive exerciser – often called ‘Chi Machines’ or ‘Chi Exercisers’ in the West - that has been immensely popular in the Far East for close on 15 years. The first Chi Exerciser was invented in Japan in 1989, though the Japanese do not refer to them in this way. Their focus was on the exercise benefits - which they simply call ‘Goldfish Exercise’.
"After becoming hugely popular among the Chinese too, these exercisers later reached the West and became known as ‘Chi Machines’ (after the original model was given this Trade Mark by the Taiwanese company marketing it in the West). The name included the word 'chi' because of the energising effect these exercsiers give – based on the Chinese understanding of the benefits that come from stimulating ‘chi’ energy to boost all the body’s functions.
"Energy for Health introduced the Surge of Chi Exerciser - the featured product on this website - to the UK in 2003, with an updated model released in 2004. After working closely with many healthcare practitioners and ordinary people over the last 3 years, we have seen what a wide range of potential health benefits it can bring.
"We are now enjoying hearing the many stories of people who have found benefits of many kinds from using the Surge of Chi over the last three years. We have also been greatly encouraged by the positive response of healthcare professionals – including more than 140 who participated in trials undertaken during 2005. A full report on the trials was published in Positive Health magazine [http://www.positivehealth.com] in July 2006.
"We are working closely with the professional healthcare sector to expand the knowledge base underpinning use of Chi Exercisers in clinics and other professional settings. While doing so we are discovering other innovative products and have selected a few of the very highest quality that we are happy to recommend to practitioners and ordinary customers. Some are now available to buy on this site, and we will be adding to the shop over coming months.
"I hope you will enjoy trying some of them - and taking advantage of the Money Back Guarantees we offer with all of our products."
