Whole Body Vibration (WBV) Technology

Whole Body Vibration, or WBV, is not a new technology. In fact WBV has been around for the past 40 years. Russian scientists worked with and fine-tuned this technology for years. They used this technology for many years to help rehabilitate their cosmonauts after they returned from space to help repair muscles from atrophy and bone density due to the weightlessness of space. They also used this technology to prevent injury to their Olympic athletes. In the event one of their athletes did injure themselves, they were put on the WBV plate to rehabilitate the injury.

After the fall of Communism in Russia, Whole Body Vibration technology made its way into Europe. This technology continued to be enhanced and has taken Europe by storm.

Whole Body Vibration has not been in the United States for very long. Historically, only wealthy, sports and Olympic teams, or doctors offices were the only places you could find a WBV unit. These units usually cost $10,000 or more.

My Whole Body Vibration is proud to offer the Power Vibe™, a commercial grade Whole Body Vibration unit for personal use, at a fraction of the cost of it's predecessors. The Power Vibe™ will help your overall lifestyle. For just 10 minutes a day you can workout, rehabilitate, relax, and detoxify your body.

Here is how the Power Vibe™ and Whole Body Vibration can help you:

· Accelerates Weight Loss
WBV stimulates all cells in the body to function at a higher rate, which in turn increases the metabolism causing more fuel to be burnt which helps to accelerate weight loss.

· Reduces Cellulite
WBV causes increased local circulation to targeted areas, in turn giving the visible cellulite area a "smoother" look.

· Reduces Varicose Veins
WBV causes increased lymph drainage, which lowers the pressure in varicose veins so the valves of the veins can close off.

· Increases Energy
WBV stimulates all cells in the body, increases blood flow, and oxygen intake and stimulates metabolism to help flushes out toxins.

· Increases Bone Density
There are two types of bone cells. Ostioblast (bone maker) and Ostioclast (bone shaper) Bone loss is due to more Ostioclast than Ostioblast cells. WBV stimulates more weight bearing exercise and gravity stimulates ostioblast cells.

· Improves Muscle Strength
WBV improves muscle strength the same way as regular exercise does. Vibrations lengthen and shorten the fibers how ever many times per second that you have the frequency set at, which is more efficient and increases strength.

· Enhances Wellness
WBV increases blood flow, lymph drainage, oxygenation of cells, the release of endorphins, and detoxification of the body.

· Enhances Detoxification
WBV works from the inside out. Waste products are expelled at a cellular, lymphatic and excretion level.

· Improves Circulation
WBV improves circulation through increased blood flow by stimulating the exercise heart rate.

· Improves Relaxation
WBV increases circulation, blood flow and oxygen intake. WBV also reduces cortisol (the stress hormone) and creates and releases endorphins. It also detoxifies the system, enhancing relaxation.

· Increases Libido
WBV increase circulation and blood flow and increases HGH and Testosterone levels. On another level WBV also helps to release endorphins, detoxify the system and reduce cortisol.

· Enhances Rehabilitation
WBV assists by allowing new tissues to build and grow, increases circulation, allows the oxygenation of cells, increases metabolism and flushes the toxins out of the body at a higher and faster rate.

· Increases Flexibility
The direct effect of WBV stimulates blood flow to ligaments and tendons and enhances the stretch reflex.

· Cardio Effects
Since the muscles are working at almost100% through the use of WBV, they are burning more glucose and oxygen, therefore pushing the heart to pump harder and get more oxygen to the muscles.

Contraindications
There are a few contraindications and this list of contraindications is not absolute. If one of the conditions listed below applies to a customer, we advise them to consult their physician before using the Power Vibe™

The Future of WBV
Research is still being conducted on the effects of vibration on certain medical conditions. This list of contraindications may soon be reduced as more research is being conducted. Practical experience indicates that there are a number of cases where it is beneficial to integrate Whole Body Vibration training into ones treatment. This should always be done under the supervision of a doctor, physician or trained professional
