Whole body vibration truly appears to be a ‘miracle’ therapy that enhances quality of life and brings wellness to almost anyone of almost any age in almost any physical condition. As a general rule, anyone over the age of 12 years should be able to benefit from whole body vibration.
Whole body vibration is especially beneficial to people over 60 who can now ‘reverse’ common symptoms of aging such as stiffness, osteoporosis and osteo arthritis, incontinence, decreased mobility, lack of flexibility and other symptoms that make life very difficult. - Having said that, it’s our belief that EVERYONE should use whole body vibration therapy. Whatever your age, physical well being is extremely important. Some of us are fitness buffs and will very much appreciate the benefits of whole body vibration in speeding up our results, enhancing our performance and increasing our physical power when used as a warm up to prepare our muscles for intense physical activity such as sports or gym work outs.
Others of us are busy all day, almost every day, in sedentary occupations. For us, our days consist of rushing to get ready for work, rushing at work to do our daily assignments, then rushing home to spend our precious ‘home’ time with family and friends. For us, exercise is often a luxury. Some of us don’t even enjoy exercise because we have so little time for it that it generally results in a lot of pain, sweat and general discomfort. For us, whole body vibration is an absolute blessing because it is sweat and pain free, quick and easy.
Just 10 minutes of WBV and we enjoy the benefits of a vigorous 60 minute workout. What could be better? No time - no problem. We can all find at least 10 minutes 3 or more times a week.
For those of us who are older and perhaps suffering the consequence of lack of exercise, we can now enjoy freedom from incontinence, increased mobility and much more flexibility in as little as 4 - 6 weeks. Beats surgery and pharmaceuticals hands down if you ask us!
When you consider the physical and financial consequences of not exercising and staying active, whole body vibration presents an affordable and even enjoyable alternative. One of the most pleasing things we’ve discovered about whole body vibration is that not only does it provide amazing benefits, but it is also very easy, relaxing and enjoyable.
Simply stand on the platform and experiment with speed and posture. Different speeds target different muscle groups. Lower speeds target higher in the body while higher speeds target lower on the body. Adjusting your foot position and posture you’ll find that you feel the vibration in different areas of the body. It’s like having your own personal masseuse at your beck and call.
If that’s too tame for you, don’t worry, you can do a vigorous work out incorporating stretches, push ups, weights and all your other exercise routines - all of which will have a much more powerful effect when combined with whole body vibration. Whole body vibration actually accelerates your work out exponentially!
