Whole Body Vibration Training

​

Whole body vibration (WBV) technology is grounded in cutting edge scientific research. A growing awareness of whole body vibration and its effects are the focus of research by many scientists from around the world. Research has demonstrated that WBV may have similar effects to a treadmill in reducing weight and that just 20 minutes a day on vibrating platform over the course of three months reduced fat. 

Some of the benefits linked to WBV include:
 

• Decreased cellulite (dimpled, lumpy skin),

• Blood circulation,

• Increases in collagen for firm skin and wrinkle reduction,

• Emotional balance (combats depression & anxiety),

• Lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and

• Loss of visceral fat and weight.

• Fitness and Well-being

• Flexibility, Speed and Power

• Rehabilitation and Mobility

• Bone Health

​

The last four benefits are the focus of our specific training but the other benefits are a welcome bonus! 

​

Whole body vibration achieves its training goals by standing, sitting, lying or doing exercises on equipment specifically designed to oscillate, usually on a horizontal plane, at frequencies that force your body’s muscles to contract and relax repeatedly each second.

Initially, whole body vibration therapy (WBVT) was developed for use by athletes to improve the effectiveness of their training.

The vibration platform generates signals that are transferred into the body’s tissues, tendons and muscles. The increase in muscle contractions contributes to improved muscle strength, co-ordination and balance.

The side to side rocking action engages rapid-fire involuntary muscle contractions without any effort from you. This helps stimulate your muscles without using unpleasant electric shocks – unlike many circulation machines! ​
