Whole Body Vibration is an innovative, safe, and effective exercise option. It is the use of a moving platform at specific frequencies and amplitudes to superimpose vibration on normal functional strengthening exercises. WBV works directly through the nervous system creating a significant increase in the normal physiological responses of the body to exercise.

If one of the conditions listed below applies to you we strongly advise that you consult with your physician before using the WBV machine. If you have any known health concerns in addition to this list, consult your physician and advise them you wish to begin a sonic vibration exercise program which vibrates in a vertical plane between 3-50 Hz (vibrations per second) and has an adjustable intensity (rate at which the plate vibrates up and down). Your body may endure between negative and positive 3 Gs of force for up to 10 minutes. This can be equivalent to 1 hour of cardio.

Whole Body Vibration is used in hospitals, physical therapy clinics, rehabilitation facilities and in personal homes. This technology can benefit seniors, those with physical disabilities, athletes, or any person looking to improve their health and get fit. Due to its many benefits, WBV is quickly gaining acceptance by universities, professional sports teams, and health professionals in the rehabilitation and medical fields.

Whole Body Vibration has the competitive advantage over conventional training due to its ability to provide a more effective and efficient exercise without the constraints associated with regular training, such as joint stress, lengthy repetitions and time commitments.

Research has shown similar strength gains to conventional resistance training at a fraction of the time. Ten minutes of Vibration exercise produces similar results to 60 minutes of conventional training. In addition, there is less stress on the joints, ligaments and tendons with Vibration training when compared to regular resistance training. Therefore, Whole Body Vibration provides an effective solution to those that may benefit from weight training, but are unable to engage in that type of exercise program.

When performed correctly, WBV has been shown to reduce back pain, improve strength and balance in older adults and help reduce bone loss/improve bone density.

Yes. Oscillating Vibration Technology is considered the safest form of vibration. However, like all new exercise programs, it’s important to consult your health care professional first. Countless hours of exercise have been preformed using whole body vibration with no averse effects. Whole Body Vibration is very safe but may not be suitable for some people.

Please be sure to seek medical advice before using whole body vibration. In particular, if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker or other implant, please do not undertake Whole Body Vibration without the approval of your medical practitioner.
