How Vibration Plate Therapy started

While the technology behind machines like the Power Plate may seem like a recent discovery, but it started decades back by the Russian Space Program and evolved into an effective workout program for everyday people. Russian scientists discovered that cosmonauts that spent extended amounts of time in space experienced significant loss in bone density and muscle tissue due to the lack of gravity. Vibration therapy helps increase bone density strengthened muscle tissue and much more.

Traditional power training growths muscle power because your body reacts to the extra resistance created by the weights or elastic, over and above normal gravity. The Vibration Plate is said to be responsible for the unbelievable shapes. No matter what your physical condition, at the right frequency setting the subconscious stretch reflexes will tighten almost all your muscles at once. That compares with just 45 per cent of muscle fibres used by an average sportsman during conventional training. And one repeated 30 or 50 times a second. Your body has to adapt even more to overcome this greater load, and so achieve your training targets faster.

Vibration plate therapy creates instability in the user's body. With each vibration, the muscles in the body are forced to perform reflexive. Besides, the vibrations increase the production of regenerative and repair hormones, improve blood circulation in skin and muscles, strengthen bone tissue, improve lymph drainage and increase the basal metabolic rate. All this results in more strength, more speed, and more stamina, rapid recovery of muscles and tissue, increased flexibility, mobility and coordination in this way vibration therapy is helpful us in many ways.
