whole body vibration Therapy

What is Whole Body Vibration Therapy?

The theory behind vibration exercise equipment was developed for the Russian space program in the 1960s because the cosmonauts needed to exercise while in zero-gravity space. No gravity means there is no resistance to workout muscles, and with months in space, this could result in muscle deterioration and loss in bone density. To combat this, the Russians came up with a vibration exercise. You merely step onto the platform, you can stand, sit, lie down, or even focus the platform on specific body parts. The platform creates a vibration, which is sent through the body. In reflex, the muscles contract. This causes tendons to stretch, increasing blood flow and improving blood oxygenation. In return, this strengthens and tones without effort on the person’s part. Since the vibrations get sent through the entire body, all the muscle groups are affected.

Vibration therapy is also very effective in moving lymphatic fluid in the body.  Lymphatic fluid is completely dependent on physical exercise to move, and the up-and-down rhythmic gravitational force caused by vibration therapy machines causes the lymph system’s one-way valves to open and close, increasing lymph flow. The lymphatic system is a major drainage pathway the body uses to detoxify and is an integral part of our immune system.
