Whole Body Vibration (wbv) Platform - An Overview

Whole Body Vibration technology was originally developed by the Russian space program over 40 years ago

. They have used it to restore their cosmonauts who lost bone density and muscle strength from being in zero gravity conditions in space. Over the years the technology was developed and today it is being used by athletes who are looking to gain a competitive edge, chiropractors looking to improve their practice offerings, and by women as a way to treat osteoporosis that doesn't involve costly prescription or non-prescription drugs.

A Whole Body Vibration Platform produces a vibration through which energy is transferred from the platform to the body, resulting in fast acceleration and deceleration of the body. This stimulates every cell in the body, producing physiologic effects just as exercise, only much faster, since the body now experiences loading and unloading up to 1500x per minute! Exercise causes the body to tire. When repeating this process of fatiguing over a time period of let's say 4-6 weeks, the body adjusts to the level of effort, resulting in an increase in physical performance.

When standing on the platform you will observe that how your body automatically adjusts to the vibrations. By positioning the body in various postures on the vibrating platform, different muscles are targeted. This loading, combined with the rapid mechanical stimulus of the platform produces a stretch reflex which, depending on the selected frequency, results in muscles contracting 20 to 50 times per second! Because the body is constantly reacting to the vibrating platform, greater results are achieved and hormonal production is increased in much less time when compared to traditional training methods. Each set should not be longer than 60 seconds in length, and training sessions need to be performed not more than 4 times per week with each session lasting about 10 minutes of actual time.

Whole Body Vibration (WBV) enhances the production of regenerative and repair hormones, improves blood circulation & lymph drainage, strengthens bone tissue and increases basal metabolic rate. All this results in more strength, more speed, more stamina, rapid recovery of muscles and tissue, increased flexibility, mobility and coordination, improved collagen production, and fat reduction. WBV offers a wide range of possibilities for use in the areas of Sports, Health, Fitness, Medical, Beauty, and Rehabilitation.
