WHAT IS VIBRATION TRAINING?

Whole body vibration was first used by the cosmonauts to combat muscle and bone loss caused by extended stays in zero gravity. Regardless of fitness levels, whole body vibration (WBV) training can provide a host of impressive health benefits while reducing workout times, improving the effectiveness of warm-ups and cool-downs and increasing the intensity of conventional exercises such as squats and planks. WBV training can also help improve bone strength and general health, and when used correctly, has many known health benefits, and a few lesser known ones. For example, whole body vibration can be used for training, balance and injury recovery.

The vibrating platform stimulates your muscles, improves the flow of lymph, decreases blood pressure and increases blood circulation and oxygenation. Vibration training destabilizes the body and promotes the reflexive engagement of soft tissue. Involuntary muscle activity promotes quick, reflexive responses in muscle fibers resulting in an increase in circulation. Put simply, this means the development in whole–body balance, mobility and stability, strength and motor control (muscle memory), in a shorter time frame than with more traditional methods.

WHY USE VIBRATION TRAINING?

People of all ages and physical abilities use vibration training to bring their bodies into harmony—the place where optimal physical performance, health and wellness are all in balance and working together. In fact, vibration training has been linked to a wide range of health and wellness benefits, from strength, balance, flexibility and weight loss to improved circulation, pain reduction, detoxification, stress alleviation, and even a reduction in the appearance of cellulite.
