Whole Body Vibration
Support balance, mobility, and muscle activation with Whole Body Vibration Therapy. This therapy uses a vibrating platform to create gentle muscle contractions throughout the body, helping improve circulation, stability, and overall physical function.
What Is Whole Body Vibration?
Whole Body Vibration (WBV) is a therapy that uses a vibrating platform to create rapid, gentle muscle contractions throughout the body. During treatment, you stand, sit, or perform simple exercises on the platform while it delivers controlled vibrations.
The therapy is commonly used in rehabilitation, fitness, and wellness settings to support balance, muscle activation, circulation, and overall physical function.
How Does Whole Body Vibration Work?
When the platform vibrates, your muscles respond with small, rapid contractions. These contractions occur automatically as your body works to maintain balance and stability.
Whole Body Vibration may be incorporated into a treatment or exercise program to complement other therapies and rehabilitation techniques.
