Vibration Therapy
Discover the transformative effects of whole body vibration therapy for health and wellness enhancement.
Health Benefits
Numerous health benefits are achieved through whole body vibration in a short, effective session.
Reduced Muscle Soreness
WBV boosts blood flow to clear waste and relax muscles, while also calming inflammation related to exercise.
Increased Circulation in Blood and Lymphatics
Standing on a WBV platform causes your muscles to flex and relax dozens of times per second, squeezing vessels and pushing blood and lymph fluid through your body more efficiently.
Improved Balance
When you stand on a vibrating platform, the rapid oscillations cause your muscles to contract and relax repeatedly, engaging the neuromuscular system enhancing stability and coordination.
Burn More Calories
Increased Flexibility
Decreased Pain
Decreased Inflammation
Rapid muscle contractions boost blood and lymphatic flow, flushing out pro-inflammatory molecules like cytokines from tissues.
Triggered rapid muscle contractions increase energy expenditure, mimicking the metabolic demand of light exercise
In addition to enhancing blood flow to reduce inflammation and relaxing tight muscles to ease tension, WBV alters pain signals through nervous system stimulation.
Whole body vibration delivers more oxygen and nutrients to muscle tissues through blood flow while activating nerves and muscle spindles to allow muscles to become more pliable.
How It Works
Whole body vibration (WBV) uses a platform that vibrates rapidly, sending tiny shakes through your body to make your muscles contract and relax many times per second. This feels like a gentle buzz and tricks your muscles into working harder, boosting strength and circulation without heavy exercise. It’s like standing on a wobbly board that does the effort for you, originally developed to help astronauts stay fit in space. You just stand, sit, or move on it for a few minutes to feel the benefits!

Frequently asked questions
Who should not use WBV?
Pregnant women, anyone with a recent fracture or surgery, severe osteoporosis, epilepsy or seizure disorders, severe heart conditions, acute injuries, and inner ear disorders/ severe dizziness.
Should I do the full 10 minutes?
If it is your first time using this type of therapy or if you feel deconditioned, it is advisable to start with less time. 5 minutes is a good starting point for most people.
What does it feel like?
It’s a buzzing or tingling sensation almost like your muscles are humming.
Can children use this therapy?
There is not enough research to say 100% yes or no. Studies have shown success with building muscle tone, balance, and motor function in children with conditions like spastic cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and Down syndrome. However, children's bodies are still developing with open growth plates and a developing nervous system. It is best to ask your pediatrician before using WBV.
Can WBV increase bone density?
In some studies this has been shown- specially in elderly and post menopausal subjects. This therapy could increase bone density by mechanically stimulating bone cells and mimicking the stress that triggers bone growth, much like weight-bearing exercise does.
Are there issues with metal implants/ joint replacements?
Vibrations might loosen new implants (hip or knee replacements, etc.) or cause discomfort if they’re not fully settled. Older, stable implants are usually fine, but it’s case-by-case. Surgeons often say wait 6–12 months but it is best to double check with your orthopedic surgeon.
How long before I start seeing benefits?
Depends—soreness relief and flexibility might kick in after a session, but strength and bone benefits take weeks to months of regular use.
