We can hardly watch television, listen to the radio or open a magazine without being bombarded by literally dozens of systems touted to be the perfect answer for fitness, weight loss, and muscle and bone health. The media is packed with “new discoveries” to help us get more fit. That’s all well and good, but have you consider that sometimes systems that have been around for a long time, which have been well-researched and tested, and shown to have actual positive results over thousands of cases and studies might actually be the real answer to your fitness and health needs.
You should understand that there is no magic formula, no pill, no single therapy that will bring you health and fitness. Health and fitness are obtained and maintained through proper exercise, proper eating, and proper vitamin intake for your body type, your age, and your physical needs. But there are therapies and techniques that are proven to be more effective than others, and those therapies, if valid, have empirical evidence to support their claims. Whole Body Vibration (WBV) is one of those therapies.
Using specifically designed and therapy-focused vibrations, WBV systems can help restore muscle tone and bone density. Bone density, of course, is a function of having the proper elements in the body for its use to build strong structures, but it is also a function of the muscles around it. Weaker muscles cause weaker bones.
WBV systems uses a simple technique to keep muscles strong. As anyone who has been to a doctor knows, if the doctor taps in the right place below the knee cap, there is an involuntary kicking response as the muscles and nerves respond to the tapping stimulus. It is this involuntary response that WBV uses to strengthen muscles and tissues.
As vibrations are sent through the body, tiny involuntary muscle contractions and expansions take place at the frequency of the WBV plate. Though the movements are microscopic, they provide the same type of stimulus one would get from lifting weights or using gym equipment. And this is done without the danger of working out in a gym, or the ensuing fatigue. Whole Body Vibration is a real solution to America’s health issues and has been proven to be an effective form of exercise to improve health and wellness.
