VibePlate

VibePlate is designed, using vertical vibration, that enhances the gravity that is already there in order to create the clinical and training compression that we need to excite our nerves, mobilize joints, improve balance and strengthen muscles to enhance our function. 

The entire body vibrates due to the frequency of the platform (ranging from 10-60 hertz), which causes the muscles to contract and stretch in order to sustain balance. Even the most basic exercises will be intensified. Depending on your level of fitness, the duration and frequency of use and body position, results will vary. Low levels of frequency have been proven to help with increasing lymphatic drainage, mid range have helped issues such as osteoporosis, higher ranges can reduce joint pain and enhance muscle strength
