What is Whole Body
Vibration Therapy and what is it good for?
Excess Body Fat: WBV Therapy
works several ways to dissolve excess body fat; it increases
metabolism which burns calories more rapidly; increases blood
circulation and lymphatic drainage thereby removing toxins faster.
Human Growth Hormone secretion increases dramatically (460%). Excess
body fat melts away effortlessly. People who use WBV Therapy for 10
minutes, three times a week, lose significantly more fat than those
who engage in aerobic activity for one hour three times a week!
Cellulite: Those lumpy fatty
deposits that form an unattractive dimpling effect around the
thighs and other parts simply melt away under WBV
Therapy.
Stress: Modern life is
stressful, causing the release of toxic stress hormones such as
cortisol and epinephrine, which throw the immune system out of
balance and destroy brain cells by the millions. WBV Therapy
increases human growth hormone and serotonin (the "happiness,
relaxation and well-being hormone") secretion, lowers cortisol and
epinephrine secretion 31%, and enhances circulation, all of which
counteract the effects of stress on the body and
spirit.
Clinical studies have shown that whole
body vibration or WBV substantially improves muscle
strength, performance and flexibility. It has also been proven to
enhance blood and lymph circulation, which is critical in
regenerating damaged tissues. WBV is also being utilized to assist
the circulatory system's ability to deliver vital nutrients and
hormones throughout the body.
WBV provides the same or even
better effect of exercising while just standing on the machine doing
nothing but listening to your favorite music. It can be used by
anyone regardless of age, sex, physical or neurological condition.
This is especially good news for office workers, overweight people
and recovering patients, who experience difficulty exercising over
extended periods of time.
Used alone, or as a pre or post
workout complement to traditional strength training and
cardiovascular exercise, WBV provides its conditioning benefits in a
fraction of the time, compared to traditional strength training and
cardiovascular exercise. Full-body workouts, consisting of movements
and positions designed to train the entire body, can be done with
WBV. Since it can train without the physical rigors of traditional
exercise, individuals with debilitating conditions can enhance their
quality of life and potentially extend it through improved overall
fitness. For avid fitness enthusiasts, WBV enhances traditional
exercise regimens.
When was Whole Body Vibration Therapy
developed?
Whole Body Vibration Therapy was first
developed in the Soviet Union to condition Soviet cosmonauts to
withstand the effects of weightlessness in outer space for months at
a time.
- The Soviets conducted rigorous
scientific studies spanning several decades that confirmed the
remarkable restorative powers and safety of Whole Body Vibration
Therapy.
- Soviet cosmonauts have lived in space
for more a year (420 days) without suffering the serious health
effects of weightlessness. American astronauts who did not use
Whole Body Vibration Therapy conditioning were able to live in
space for only 120 days due to muscle weakness and lowered bone
density.
