How does Whole Body Vibration (WBV) therapy work?
WBV therapy works by using a vibration plate to generate vibrations that stimulate muscle contractions throughout the body. As you stand or perform exercises on the vibration plate, the vibrations cause your muscles to contract rapidly, which enhances muscle strength, improves bone density, and helps with balance and coordination.
Is WBV therapy safe for everyone?
WBV therapy is generally safe for most people, including those recovering from injury or looking to improve fitness. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with certain health conditions, such as pregnancy, heart disease, or severe joint issues. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting WBV therapy to ensure it is safe for your specific condition.
