How Vibration Exercise Technology Works

If you are asking: do vibration machines work? You need to know that Whole Body Vibration exercise is backed by worldwide university research!

Developed by the Russian Aerospace program in the 1960s Whole Body Vibration exercise is now used in Europe, the USA and Australia by physiotherapists, health clubs, professional sports teams, health and wellness centres and health spas.

When you stand on the VT-12 Vibration machine platform it produces vertical vibrations. The energy of the Vibration plate is safely and effectively transferred to your body. Our body reacts to the natural stimulus with an involuntary reflex muscle contraction. Depending on the speed, muscles will contract up to 15 times per second. There are many vibration exercises that can give you many different benefits, but what's most important is...

The Vibration Machine provides a unique way to exercise your body with minimum exertion. Exercise is designed to increase circulation. Increased circulation increases blood flow to joints and muscles, feeding your body with natural endorphins which is nature's way of helping your body cope with niggling aches and pains, and stiffness. Regular exercise increases bone density which is a major factor in osteoporosis. By maintaining bone density at healthy levels, osteoporosis and other arthritic conditions may be reduced.

Because with Whole Body Vibration you can achieve a gentle form of exercise for your body, if you have any minor injuries, the vibration machine is a good way to start getting back into an exercise regime. The sooner you can start exercising the quicker your injuries will mend and the sooner you will be back to your healthy fit self. But remember, always check your exercise plan with your health professional.

People suffering with back or joint pain and stiffness, find exercise a daunting step to take. The Vibration machine makes exercise possible as there is no physical exertion required. The vibration gently stimulates the body, helps increase blood flow to muscles, joints and peripheral areas of the body. Increased blood flow, can help reduce pain, increase mobility and give new life to those aching stiff bones.

Exercise does not need to be strenuous. Exercise is a means of getting your heart rate up, increasing blood flow, increasing muscle and joint movement. The benefits of exercise are well known. They include:

• Improved muscle strength
• Improved blood circulation
• Enhanced lymph drainage
• Increased oxygen to your body
• Building bone density (a major factor in osteoporosis)
• Increased metabolism, resulting in fat burning & raised energy levels
• Toning and tightening of skin
• Decreased cellulite
• Maintaining healthy blood pressure
• Reduced stress (exercise naturally releases cortisol which is called the "stress hormone")
• increased flexibility
• Improved balance and coordination
• Improved mood (exercise releases serotonin which is a major factor in maintaining healthy and happy emotional wellbeing)
• Decrease in general aches, pains, and stiffness
