The power of vibration toning has been harnessed by many major medical, rehabilitation and therapeutic centers across the world. Vibration Technology allows users with debilitating conditions such as osteoporosis, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and stroke victims to yield the advantage of exercise.

vibration toning is a easy solution to preventing age-related muscle loss. Not only does it improve muscle strength, but also increases flexibility and range of motion, enhances critical blood flow throughout the body, expedites the recovery and regeneration of damaged tissue and ultimately enhances the general wellness and quality of life for Individuals .

Balance is also improved as vibration confuses the brain into automatically trying to subconsciously control balance. One study testing the chair rising time of the elderly using a control group, a placebo group and a group that did vibration toning , showed that the vibration training group had 18% gains in chair raising time.

People with Multiple Sclerosis are often unable to exercise normally because the brain is no longer capable of controlling the muscles properly. However, muscles are activated in an entirely different way while using vibration toning because it causes a stretch reflex without conscious effort.

These reflexes are possible because the actual disease affects the nervous system rather than the muscle tissue. vibration trainingwill not cure People with these conditions, but will allow them to activate the muscles, thus greatly enhancing ones quality of life.

Practical experience has shown that these patients get stronger and less dependent on others, and experience less pain. This could be because vibration training stimulates new neuromuscular pathways, which means there will be more nerve endings to fire more muscle fibbers. Individuals tend to feel better and have more energy to cope with their everyday activities.

Can I lose weight using the Power Plate?

Power Plates will help to improve posture and will increase muscle mass. As muscle mass is expanded , the basal metabolic rate is increased and so more calories are used, even whilst you rest!
