Vibration therapy (also referred to as vibration training or mechano-stimulation) uses mechanical oscillations to stimulate the body, potentially helping improve posture, strength and reduce physical restrictions.
Vibration therapy may also aid individuals living with osteoporosis when combined with standard medical regimens that include alendronate sodium, calcium and vitamin D supplements.
Improved Posture
Vibration training (also referred to as vibration exercise or WBV therapy) uses a device that creates high-frequency vibration on the body to stimulate muscle contraction and relaxation for overall wellness and improved posture. Fitness clubs use it to increase performance as well as recover faster from injuries or surgeries. Localized vibration therapy addresses specific joints or muscles to relieve pain while improving flexibility, blood circulation, or both.
Studies on vibration therapy‘s effect on osteoporosis have demonstrated its ability to increase bone density. One such study followed two groups: group 1 received whole-body vibration training twice weekly for four months in conjunction with standard pharmaceutical treatment; group 2 only underwent standard medication, yet both groups showed significant increases in their lumbar spine and head of femur bone density relative to control group participants.
Vibrations trigger proprioceptive sensors in the brain to activate, activating alpha-motoneurons in muscles and recruiting previously inactive fibers to recruit as muscle. They also increase secretion of growth hormones which may increase bone mass and density in postmenopausal women.
Stable and lightweight, the medic therapeutics vibrating fitness platform is easy to use with its convenient remote and LED display that displays speed, calories burned, time, speed range (from 1 to 99), 9 automatic programs and removable handlebars which can be set at various angles to target specific muscles more effectively. You’ll feel rejuvenated after every workout session!
Reduced Pain
The Medic Therapeutics Vibrating Fitness Platform with Magnetic Therapy offers an immersive full body vibration training experience. Increase flexibility, strength and overall well-being. Vibrations also stimulate muscle activity for fast workouts at home or quickly while the remote control lets you customize speed and calories burned for a custom experience.
Vibration therapy is becoming an increasingly popular treatment option for musculoskeletal conditions like osteoporosis and fibromyalgia. A recent systematic review confirmed this trend; researchers discovered that whole-body vibration exercise reduced pain associated with these conditions. As part of traditional therapies like physical therapy or medication, vibration therapy should be combined for maximum effect.
One reason for vibration training’s ability to decrease pain may be its effects on inflammation, with decreased levels of cortisol biomarker contributing to lower levels of pain (Cardinale 2010; Elmantaser 2012). Another possible mechanism may be enhanced endogenous inhibition of nociception, neurogenesis and cortical reorganization during rehabilitation (Gay 2007).
Shanb et al conducted a study that demonstrated how whole-body vibration therapy and magnetic therapy are both beneficial in increasing bone density when used alongside standard pharmaceutical regimens. 85 participants were randomly divided into three groups for four months of vibratory exposure for 25 minutes weekly standing position vibration therapy; group 2 received magnetic therapy training; while group 3 received standard pharmaceutical regimen. Bone density measurements in lumbar spine and head of femur regions were collected using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry while serum calcium and vitamin D levels were collected from participants.
Increased Energy
Whole-body vibration therapy (WBV) increases energy levels by stimulating endorphin release – the body’s natural feel-good chemicals – releasing tension and nervousness while helping alleviate depression by increasing blood flow to the brain, increasing serotonin production and helping balance moods. Research indicates regular WBV sessions may contribute to greater mental wellbeing as well as overall well-being for individuals.
Vibration therapy (also known as vibrotherapy) is an exercise form which exposes the entire body to vibrations at a rate which mimics one-third of Earth’s gravitational force, activating proprioceptive sensors and stimulating muscle contractions which increases strength, flexibility, as well as circulation.
Magnetic therapy enhances vibration effects by creating a healthy electromagnetic field for overall wellness and relaxation, including relieving muscle ache pains and improving circulation to lessen fatigue. Its positive outcomes include relieving minor muscle strains as well as relieving tension-related headaches.
Medic Therapeutics’ vibrating fitness platform with magnetic therapy can benefit individuals of all ages and fitness levels in improving overall flexibility and strength, supporting muscular activity, supporting muscle recovery, and contributing to greater overall wellness. However, it should not be used by those with pacemakers or similar devices installed or pregnant women as its use should always be discussed with a healthcare provider prior to using.
