What is it?
Whole-body vibration (WBV) has been used since the early 1900’s but has been developed since the 1970’s when the Russians used this technology in the development of their athletic programs as well as their Russian Space Programs. Much of this research was done in secret, however, since the fall of communism. ,WBV has been introduced throughout Europe and is now making its way into the North American market.

How Whole Body Vibration works
When a muscle fiber is stretched, it will contract by reflex. By standing on the WBV machine, pure vertical vibration is transmitted throughout the whole body. This causes thousands of muscle contractions which increases muscle tone. The movement of the vibration plate stimulates the body to respond with a strong involuntary muscle contraction similar to when your doctor taps on your knee with a reflex hammer.

Usage consists of standing upright on the WBV machine platform. It produces low impact, true vertical vibrations from 1 Hz to 99 Hz with variation of amplitude from 0 to 100. Vertical vibrations are transferred through the body, stimulating all areas: cells, blood vessels, organs, muscles, etc.

The whole-body vibration platform is the newest leading edge technology that goes beyond the standard mechanical vibration machines and implements the technology of sound.
This provides an improved vibration throughout the entire body where you can specify not only the speed of the vibration (Hz), but also the amplitude of each wave.
