Vibration platforms represent a global fitness revolution. In just over 30 minutes a week, you can keep in shape without leaving home. The effects of whole body vibration have already been scientifically tested, with early Vibration technology dating back to 1859.But it was the early days of the space race between USA and USSR that the Soviet Space Program found that vibration technology was a great way to combat decreased bone density in the astronauts.
In the 1990’s the technology made its way to Europe, and began to make its way into the fitness market. Thanks to Whole Body Vibration (WBV) you can work all muscle groups, not only those aligned longitudinally. WBV works like a wake up call to the body, by stimulating the musculoskeletal structure, the vibration starts exciting the tissue cells via the “Stretch Reflex”. This creates an overall increase of blood circulation throughout the entire body, even in places that struggle to get blood. The immediate effect can be felt as the muscles are able to work faster and more efficiently, therefore creating a more productive workout.
