Benefits of Pivotal Vibration
5 Jan 2012The PowerVibe Motion 1 is an example of a quality, pivotal (or oscillating) whole body vibration product. There are 2 main types of WBV – vertical (also called vertical tri-planar or lineal), and pivotal (also called oscillating or teeter-totter). While both offer a number of the same general benefits, such as increased circulation and muscle [...]
PowerVibe Testimonial
30 Aug 2011My Chiropractor recommended I try the Power Vibe Zen Pro machine in his office when I was having muscle aches, especially in the upper back. After a couple of months using the Power Vibe (two times a week), my back, as well as, legs and upper body felt strengthened and I felt increased energy. At [...]
Whole Body Vibration can be used to increase range of motion through stimulation of the Golgi Tendon Organ (GTO). The GTO monitors tension in the muscular system. Trainers manipulate the GTO during static stretching by creating increased tension that the GTO picks up then signals the muscle to relax. The GTO also creates relaxation in [...]
Improve Body Alignment with Whole Body Vibration
27 May 2011As we age, our posture deteriorates. The legs and lower back are not just responsible for bearing most of the body’s weight anymore, but now also have to keep the torso from tipping over the hips. The hips and lower back become stronger initially, but in time the lower abdominals become weaker from lack of use. But [...]

Integrating vibration therapy into the rehabilitation phase of care is an efficient and effective way to accelerate recovery. Various research suggests positive benefits for fibromyalgia, chronic back pain, Multiple Sclerosis, osteoporosis and post-surgical rehabilitation.

A study was completed to determine if stretching the hamstrings during whole-body-vibration (WBV) is more effective than static stretching alone and to monitor retention of flexibility changes.
Thirty-four recreationally active college-age subjects completed this study. Subjects were assigned to a control group, a static stretch group, or a vibration and static stretch group. Subjects stretched 5 [...]

Beyond the statistics, the toll in terms of diminished quality of life is immeasurable for many people. [...]
Help Knee Pain with Whole Body Vibration
16 Sep 2010Each year, Americans record roughly 19 million visits to orthopedic surgeons due to knee discomfort. That weight-bearing joint is the source of so many problems because it is the one most frequently affected by degenerative diseases including osteoarthritis—the painful condition that occurs when the cartilage in the knee wears away and the bones scrape against [...]
Whole Body Vibration helpful for Osteoarthritis
27 Aug 2010Whole body vibration has been shown to reduce the pain and disability associated with Osteoarthritis.
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 [...]
Whole Body Vibration (WBV) can help you improve your flexibility very quickly! All muscles and joints that are stretched during WBV training are fully mobilized. The vibration also loosens adhesions, which positively influences flexibility even more. Research has shown that stretch exercises with vibration gave a greater increase in flexibility than stretch exercises alone. By [...]
