Exercise rehabilitation helps to improve flexibility and balance

Flexibility is the ability to extend or stretch without breaking. The term is usually used to describe muscles but can also be used to describe a movement involving a number of muscles. In addition to physical therapy building muscle strength and aiding in recovery, these exercises can also improve flexibility. This is a vital part of maintaining a sound body. Balance can be difficult for the body after time regardless if you are injured or not. The body sometimes works to compensate for weak areas, ultimately throwing the body off-balance just from daily activities.

PowerPlate™ Vibration

PowerPlate™ is a rehabilitation phenomena supported by extensive research, and leads the industry in three-dimensional Advanced Vibration Technology™.

PowerPlate™ uses the principles of Acceleration Training™ to stimulate the body’s natural response to vibration while transmitting waves of energy at safe levels throughout the body activating muscle contractions between 25 and 50 times per second. Acceleration Training with PowerPlate™ machines creates instability in the human body, as with each vibration the body is forced to perform reflexive muscle actions, multiple times per second. Furthermore, these contractions must work in multiple dimensions oscillating in all three planes, exactly as the human body is designed to do. The net result is an incredible improvement in force production or strength and power.

Benefits include immediate improvement in blood circulation to measurable outcomes such as increased muscle strength and flexibility, decreased cellulite, reduced pain and faster recovery. It also allows people with conditions such as osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis and arthritis to exercise while working within their physical limitations. Vibrations stimulate the muscle-pump-effect and cause an increase in blood-flow with an improvement of transport capacity for: Oxygen / Carbon Dioxide vitality components (micro nutrients), energy components (macro nutrients), derivates and waste (i.e. lactic acid).
