History

During the space race in the 1960s, the Russians moved vibration technology forward to how we know it today. Exposure to zero gravity conditions caused deterioration of bone density and muscle tissue for early space travelers. To combat this, the Soviets used the concept of “weight bearing load” exercise to develop the first WBV machines. They found that when a person performs various positions on top of a rapidly vibrating platform, the body experiences benefits associated with weight-bearing load exercise and increased muscle contractions. This helped reverse the negative effects of bone loss and muscle atrophy.

  • Improves balance, stability & coordination
  • Increases metabolism to aid in weight loss
  • Builds stronger bones


How WBV Works



WBV machines use a controlled motion (the vibrating platform) to induce muscular activation and other physiological responses throughout the body. Compared to conventional exercise, WBV yields more results because the body is exposed to rapid stimuli that force physiological and neuromuscular responses. The rapid motion of the machine’s platform causes body tissues to respond in several positive ways, including:

Blood flow increases significantly, pumping more health-building oxygen throughout the body to support vital physiological processes.

Lymphatic drainage improves, promoting tissue and organ system detoxification.

The skeletal system receives a vigorous workout that contributes to increased bone mineral density – often bringing more dramatic bone-strengthening results than conventional weight-bearing exercise.

When a WBV machine is in use, the body part that makes contact with the vibrating platform and the position of that body part on the platform determines which body tissues will be affected by the therapy. This makes it easy to target the specific body part that needs a workout and to control just how challenging the workout will be.
