In: Whole Body Vibration

26 Mar 2010

As WBV continues to evolve, more interesting uses and positive benefits are regularly being discovered.

Effects of WBV on the central nervous system have become a very hot topic recently.

Research studies have already shown positive results in patients with incomplete spinal cord injuries.  These subjects showed improvement in walking speed, cadence, step length and consistency of intra-limb coordination after only one month of WBV therapy.

It is believed that further research in these areas could lead to relevance in using WBV for:

  • Pain management
  • Neuroendocrine function
  • Mood alteration
  • Memory
  • Improvement of efficiency and strength of the neurophysical pathways through the body. 

The benefits and applications of WBV are almost limitless.
