Whole Body Vibration

Whole Body Vibration (WBV) benefits!

Whole Body Vibration was developed over 40 years ago in Russia to train their Olympic athletes and rehabilitate cosmonauts returning from space that suffered muscle atrophy and loss of bone. Weight bearing exercises done with  Whole Body Vibration increases muscle strength and bone density over static exercise.  Our system of rehabilitation involves isometric exercise with head, shoulder and hip weights,  while performed standing on a Whole Body Vibration platform in order to maximize posture and spine correction.  WBV introduces a significant additional stimulus to the nerve system in order to challenge the postural reflexes leading to improvements in balance and postural awareness on a subconscious level.  With the right vibratory frequency, WBV has been shown to increase endocrine activity.  Growth hormone increased by 361%, testosterone increased by 7%, cortisol, the fat producing stress hormone, decreased by 32%, blood flow increased by 100%, and back pain reduced by 66%.

The Pettibon Spinal Rejuvenation Therapy (SRT) Table utilizes Whole Body Vibration (WBV) for several key benefits.  With higher contractility of the muscles with WBV, the muscles will fatigue 50% faster allowing spasm and splinted muscles to relax, enabling quicker spinal decompression and pain relief.  This essentially reduces the decompression time from the standard 30 minutes of traditional methods, to 15 minutes or less with WBV. In addition, oxygen is utilized during SRT (decompression) to help our patients heal faster with the best results.  Your brain and nervous system need two things to survive: fuel and activation.  Fuel comes in the form of glucose and oxygen.  You get glucose from the food you eat but as you age your ability to utilize oxygen decreases.  Giving you oxygen during your SRT (decompression) will help you get the best results in the quickest time possible.

Whole Body Vibration is also utilized during active rehabilitation with head, shoulder, and hip weighting, dramatically increasing the isometric excercise effect for maximum postural improvement and  spinal core strength.  The end result is predictable posture and spinal curve correction with pain free, happy and healthy patients.  Spread the word!

What are the main benefits of using oxygen?

Stimulate brain activity, increases memory capacity, boost concentration, develop stronger alertness, raise energy levels, improve strength, build endurance, detox your blood, reduce stress, calm anxiety, alleviate tension headaches, remedy irregular sleeping patterns, helps cardiovascular activity, prevent lactic acid build up, and strengthens the immune system.
