Whole Body Vibration offers whole body vibration on a personal level. Many professional basketball, football and baseball teams are using the WBV as an additional strength training method.
While standing on the vibrating platform, your whole body vibrates, causing your muscle fibers to contract like they do when lifting weights, but at a much higher frequency. The straighter you stand the higher and stronger you feel the vibrations, but it is better to bend your knees slightly to keep the vibrations in your lower half, where they are more beneficial.
More than 20 years of research indicates this form of therapy is beneficial in the following areas:
- improved muscular strength
- rapid recovery time from sports injuries; torn muscles, sprains, swelling, etc
- increased in flexibility and range of motion
- enhanced critical blood flow throughout the body
- an increase in bone density
- acceleration of weight loss and reduction in the appearance of cellulite
- decrease cortisol levels and a increase of the ‘happiness hormone’ serotonin and neurothrophine
