Whole Body Vibration
Whole body vibration (WBV) was first developed over 25 years ago by inventor and movement specialist Gerry Cook. He developed WBV with the idea of maximizing the body’s performance and rehab potential. While the vibration platform vibrates at specific frequencies, the body’s joint and muscle proprioceptors are stimulated, thereby taxing the neuromuscular system in ways that are impossible while exercising without vibration. Whole body vibration maximizes the body’s muscular and connective tissue performance, accelerates rehab time, and decreases pain. The recognized benefits of WBV range from increased muscle strength and flexibility, to better range of motion, better core conditioning and stability, faster recovery and regeneration to increased metabolism, blood circulation and bone mineral density. Due to these recognized benefits, whole body vibration has quickly gained acceptance and is now being utilized by professional and university sports teams, health professionals in the rehabilitation and medical fields, as well as health clubs and private fitness trainers.
