T-Zone Vibratory Therapy

Bodies in Motion

Comparable to weight repetitions at the gym, WBV can improve muscle strength and work tolerance with less effort and time for the same movement.  In some cases, WBV can boost muscle strength more than ordinary weight training in a shorter time period.

WBV can also be a therapeutic  adjunct for people with paraplegia, cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy.  By stimulating muscles that the brain can’t control, WBV helps minimize lower body atrophy and, in some cases reconnect the signal from the brain with previously atrophied muscles.  Patients with postural problems often report new awareness and control over lower abdominal  muscles after WBV sessions.

In Addition…

To whole body strengthening and improved endurance, WBV provides other key advantages:
* Balance and coordination—excites  stretch receptors and tendon reflexes in joints promoting increased receptor activity and challenging balance and coordination

  • Bone density– quell the effects of osteoporosis by balancing hormones and increasing mechanical stressors on bones via involuntary muscle contractions.
  • Join Pain—the vertical movement stretches joints, thereby increasing space and replacing fluid between the bones, while raising critical blood flow to an area.
  • Cardiovascular system—By stimulating muscle contractions.  Current research continues to demonstrate that blood cells individualize and resist clumping as a result of WBV.
  • Nervous system—SBV stimulates proprioceptors to trigger muscle and joint contractions.
  • Lymph drainage  and detoxification—The lymphatic system connects every organ to partly the body and strengthen immunity.  The system works via the pumping action of movement and exercise, which is often limited by a sedentary lifestyle and poor nutrition.
  • Hormonal Balance—WBV increases the release of human growth hormone, serotonin, neruotrophin, testosterone and IFG-1, which factor into regeneration and repair.—helpful during  menopause.
  • Aesthetic benefits.  Regular use of WBV can result in trimmer, shapelier body. By increasing metabolism, blood flow  and  lymph drainage .   WBV can dissolve excess body fat.  Stagnant fat deposits are stimulated and metabolized and HGH is elevated.

Moving ahead  – Vibratory Therapy

Vibration training has historically been a tool applied in the fitness industry.  But it’s expanding quickly into all areas of physical medicine and rehabilitation.

Whole body Vibration was explored as a therapy by a Russian scientist, Vladimir Nazarov, who tested vibration on astronauts to evaluate its impact on the loss of muscle and bone mass that occurs during extended space missions.

When stimulated by vibration, mechanoreceptors send impulses to the brain and cause muscles to contract and relax at the rate of vibration, a phenomenon called tonic vibration reflex.  This response recruits nearly 100 % of the muscle  fibers stimulated and enhances  neuromuscular efficiency.  Skeletal muscles contract and relax at the same frequency of the vibration.  For example,  in a standing and squat position on a vibration platform set at 30Hz, muscles contract and release 900 times in a 30-second session—a level of stimulation that’s impossible during normal exercise.
