Frequently Asked Questions

Is the MotionCiser safe to use?

Yes, the MotionCiser is safe for most people, but consult your healthcare provider if you have pre-existing conditions. Avoid using it on infants, sleeping or unconscious individuals, or anyone with poor circulation or reduced sensation in the feet. Always check skin contact during use to prevent irritation.

How often is it recommended to use the MotionCiser?

Dr. Ho suggests to use the MotionCiser 3 to 5 times a day, for 20 minutes each time to help combat the effects of a sedentary lifestyle, or from long hours of standing on your feet. However, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise regimen.
Can I use the MotionCiser with a stand-up desk?
The MotionCiser is designed to be used while sitting and should not be used while standing. So when you lower your stand-up desk to be used while seated, then the MotionCiser is the perfect way of getting movement and motion into your body while sitting.
How does the MotionCiser's vibration intensity levels work?
The MotionCiser offers 10 vibration speed levels, allowing users to customize the intensity to their comfort and therapeutic needs.
How do I pick the right vibration level on the MotionCiser?
Begin at a lower speed to assess comfort. Gradually increase the intensity to find the level that effectively addresses your muscle relaxation and circulation needs.
What is the difference between the V1 and the current V2 MotionCiser?

Both versions function similarly in terms of passive motion exercise and soothing heat features. The V2 includes two new features: a handle for easier maneuvering and two connection ports at the base to attach the Exercise Band, an optional add-on to enhance your fitness routine.

Is the MotionCiser suitable for seniors or individuals with limited mobility?

Yes, the MotionCiser is ideal for seniors and those with limited mobility. Its gentle approach ensures safety and effectiveness. However, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise regimen.
