Body Wrap:

Body wrapping is a proven technique for detoxification, inch loss, toning, and weight loss. Body wrapping draws out waste and excess toxins through the skin and therefore the benefits depend on good circulation in the skin. General guidelines for body wrapping require the client to remain active while wrapped in order to stimulate circulation. Whole body vibration has been shown to almost double blood circulation, especially in the upper layers of the skin, making it a perfect fit for a body wrap treatment. It does not require the large range of motion that would loosen the body wraps.

Improved fluid balance:

Although WBV does not burn major calories, it substantially improves fluid distribution and balance throughout the body. It is quite common to have immediate loss of weight which is very motivating.

Laser Lipo treatments:

Low power laser lipo is a body sculpting / weight loss technology that reduces fat by causing fat cells to release their contents into the surrounding tissue. The essential accompaniment to laser lipo treatment is stimulation of lymphatic circulation to help the body process the unwanted residue from the fat cells. Whole body vibration provides the perfect alternative to a manual lymphatic massage, and performs with consistency and precision so it is much more efficient than a manual massage.

Whole Body Vibration can supercharge every cell in your body with energy you never knew you had. Increased blood circulation sending oxygen throughout your body means healthier looking skin, less wrinkles, reduced swelling, and stronger joints.

Exercise can reduce pain and disability by decreasing muscle inhibition and by improving local circulation.  Unfortunately, most osteoarthritis sufferers tend to not adhere to an exercise regimen due to the discomfort associated with working out.  The more difficult the exercise, the less likely they will do it.  Whole Body Vibration (WBV) is particularly suited for these people because it exercises the postural system. 

WBV is easy to use, the exercise sessions are short and best of all it is safe.

Certain types of exercises are especially beneficial when it comes to your back.

• Strengthening exercises including core strengthening and resistance training, build up the muscles that provide support for your body. 
• Stretching may improve the extension of muscles and other soft tissues, which can reduce stiffness.

In addition to exercise, it’s important to remember these tips to help prevent back injuries:

• Practice good posture
• Maintain a healthy weight
• Avoid lifting heavy items when you can.  If you must lift something heavy, be sure to keep your back straight and lift by putting the stress on your legs and hips.  Don’t bend over the item. 

What if you have already hurt your back?  Exercise isn’t just for strengthening and preventing injury.  In many cases it may help relieve certain types of back pain.  Going about your usual activities, as tolerated, may help relieve stiffness and pain.  Moving your body not only keeps blood and nutrients flowing, it helps reduce inflammation and muscle tension.  It’s always a good idea to check with your doctor before you begin an exercise program for a sore back.  They may be able to help you with determining which exercises would be most beneficial.

Whole Body Vibration(WBV) makes normal strength and flexibility training more effective.   The direct effect of whole body vibration stimulates blood flow to ligaments and tendons and enhances the stretch reflex.  WBV also increases circulation.  This allows new tissues to build and grow, allows the oxygenation of cells, increases metabolism and flushes the toxins out of the body at a higher and faster rate.      

Whole body vibration is a sensible choice for combating and preventing back pain because it is safe, fast, and effective.

It has been documented for thousands of years in Chinese culture that stimulating specific parts of the body affects well being. Acupuncture, focused breathing, massage and meditation are used to alleviate stress responses that adversely impact all the bodies systems. Through Whole Body Vibration (wbv) people can release stress, calming the spirit and balancing the body, heart and mind.  A long-term academic study found that meditation exercises combined with the benefits of vibration training and fitness could substantially improve the quality of life by relieving symptoms caused by high stress environments, overwork and lack of rest.

With a proper training program, it can enhance the flexibility of the body, hand strength, control, flexibility and the sense of balance, releasing the deep healthy energy of the human body creating wellness and a strong, healthy mind.

Training on a whole body vibration device causes an enormous activation of the lymphatic system that will result in a loss of body fluids. WBV training does more than just build strength or increase metabolism. It also detoxifies your internal organs and cells. As your metabolism increases, cells begin to function better again and they start to expel accumulated wastes and toxins. This waste gets deposited into the blood stream and then gets processed by the liver, kidneys, large intestines, skin and lungs. This kind of detoxification can cause feelings of fatigue, exhaustion, headaches, nausea, and flu‐like symptoms. If you experience these symptoms, you now know that this is actually a good sign. It’s a sign that the body is releasing toxins and is on its way to recovery.

You can help this process of detoxification by making sure that you are sufficiently hydrated before and after your whole body vibration work‐outs. I recommend drinking ½ of your body weight in ounces of water per day. For example, if you weigh 160 pounds, drink 80 ounces of water every day.

In the last 10 years a whole new science has come about of the effects of the hormone known as vitamin D-3 on the body.  D-3 is has been referred to as a hormone rather than a vitamin.  D-3 impacts your heart, organs and most every tissue and cell in your body.  D3 targets more than 2,000 genes in the body. That’s 10 percent of the total number of genes in the human body.  Deficiencies have been implicated in at least 17 different cancer types, cardiovascular disease, birth defects, and more. 

Further research has found additional medicinal benefits of vitamin D in the prevention or treatment of serious diseases. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic found that deficiencies were linked to autoimmune conditions (such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetes). Vitamin D doesn’t just play a role in specific diseases and disorders; it affects the body in many ways.  People suffering from vitamin D deficiency have a more difficult time with pain management.  Plus deficiencies have been linked to Cancer, Parkinson’s disease, Depression, and other health issues.

Vitamin D-3 is thought to be the most impactful and wide reaching nutrient for your body. The sun’s rays are UVA and UVB ultraviolet rays.  But only the UVB rays are vitamin D producing when they hit your skin.  The fear of skin cancer has stopped many individuals from obtaining beneficial amounts of sunlight.

Did you know that everyone living north of 35° latitude will get no UVB rays between the months of November through March because of the angle of the sun?  Two/thirds of the U.S and all of Canada are above the 35° latitude mark.  The equator is at 0° latitude and gets the benefit of the highest level of the sun’s UVB rays, whereas the North Pole is at 90° latitude and gets the least benefit.

We do not get the same amount of UVB rays year round. As the seasons change, so does the angle of the sun’s rays.  In the summer, with the sun directly overhead, we get the maximum number of UVB rays.  As the season moves toward winter, we get fewer and fewer rays and in the winter, if you live in 35° latitude and above, you will get no UVB rays at all.

Have you had your dose of vitamin D-3 today?  Get out and enjoy that summer sun!

Whole Body Vibration exercise provides many health and fitness benefits, and is simple and convenient. The mercury may be rising, but the numbers on the scale don’t have to. Think about doing WBV exercise in the comfort of your air conditioned house!

To make it even more convenient, let me ask you this: do you ever watch TV? If you answered yes, which I assume you did, then consider how easy it would be to do your daily exercise while watching your favorite TV show. What could be easier or more convenient?!

However, the amount of mechanical vibrations we are exposed to has increased enormously over the last few centuries. Truck drivers, forklift drivers, construction workers and helicopter pilots absorb a lot of vibration on a daily basis. The complaints they suffer, mainly in joints and spine, cause tremendous problems. 

There are some fundamental differences between vibration exposures in the work place compared to vibration from the Whole Body Vibration (WBV) platform. While training on the platform you are actively using the vibrations, which are being absorbed in the muscles instead of the joints. The duration is also much less. The total amount of time of a training session is not even close to the time that people are exposed to vibrations in a working environment.

 A WBV platform complies with the I.S.O. standards for industrial use, provided that training does not exceed 2 hours a day. For that matter, it is useless to train longer than 20 minutes or more often than 3 or 4 times a week. If you use the WBV machine according to the instructions and under certified supervision, vibration training is many times safer than any other sports or training activity.

With age, or when muscles aren’t used enough, they lose their size and strength. Regular exercise and weight-training require discipline, considerable time, and many repetitions.  Also, there’s a growing concern about the effect of lifting heavy weights on the joints, ligaments, and tendons of the body as we could be doing damage to them in the process.  Whole body vibration training is an effective, proven method of strength training that addresses these concerns.  Whole body Vibration exercise has been found to boost muscle strength by 50% in just a few weeks!  You can focus on your core, lower body, or upper body and build a toned, strong body. 

Whole Body Vibration can improve your speed, agility, grace and flexibility by strengthening joints, tendons, and ligaments.  It also increases your ability to stretch the muscles.  Whole Body Vibration can help you raise your athletic ability and fitness to the next level in weeks, not months.  And if you’re involved in sports such as swimming, gymnastics, football, track, martial arts, and golf, you’ll soon experience increased speed, flexibility, and muscle control.

All of the movements basic to the human body can be performed on the whole body vibration platform.  By performing some of the exercises in a dynamic manner the effect will increase greatly.  All of these effects can be integrated in daily life.  If vibration training is part of a sport specific training schedule you will obviously have to make certain adaptations to the movements inherent to that particular sport in order to counter a loss of coordination.  You will improve your ability to cycle by riding a bike, not just by standing on the WBV platform.
