Whole Body Vibration Rejuvenation

This technology was originally designed to increase bone density and muscle mass. One of the first things you will notice is how your body automatically adapts to the vibrations. You will have increased flexibility and range of motion. By standing on the plate, the vibration generates systematic involuntary muscle contraction throughout the body, which not only increases your flexibility but also burns fat by increasing your metabolism, while it improves your circulation and provides your cells with ideal oxygen and nutrient delivery to slow the degenerative process.

We have a VibraTrim unit which is designed to create adjustable vibrations from 10-50 Hz by a pivotal type system. The pivotal system vibrates at the correct megahurtz(s) from a medical and body-toning standpoint. The VibraTrim generates systematic involuntary muscle contraction with less G force than the "piston" type systems, the other style of Whole Body Vibration that is on the market. The piston style offers a straight up and down motion, just like a jackhammer. This type of "up and down" piston movement and vibration is known to cause problems that can develop into bad backs (truck drivers and others) and other various physical areas (carpal tunnel).

Science has learned that the human body adapts to various stressors and stimuli. The Whole Body Vibration produces amazing results as a result of that adaptation process. When you stand on the VibraTrim, the vibration energy is transferred to your entire body. This first stimulates receptors in the Achilles tendon that stimulate nerve receptors, which track up to the cerebellum (the part of the brain that is responsible for balance). This pleasant vibrating action causes the brain to tell the muscles of your body to actively contract to maintain its equilibrium, thus creating a therapeutic and muscle-toning workout.

Whole Body Vibration increases the production of the regenerative and repair hormones. It also improves the blood circulation, increases the basal metabolic rate, strengthens bone tissue and improves lymph drainage. The net result is more strength, stamina, speed, increased flexibility, mobility and coordination, rapid recovery of muscles and tissue, improved collagen production and fat reduction. This is achieved with minimal stress on the joints and ligaments. You can perform static or dynamic movements including standing, sitting, kneeling, lying, and placing your hands on it. Almost any exercise from a typical gym workout to passively sitting on a chair and resting your feet can be done on a vibration platform.
