WBV Increase your Quality of Life
Does whole body vibration increase our quality of life? Research shows it helps to increase our quality of life in numerous ways. Whole body vibration (WBV) training is done on a platform that sends 30-50 vibrations per second through your muscles. It does this through reflexes that contract your muscles subconsciously, without your control. It can reduce pain, increase muscle strength, bone density, and flexibility, as well as increase your mobility and postural control.
On the whole, it helps slow down the aging process and improves your quality of life, just like exercise does. WBV can also be used by those who may have a difficult time exercising due to limited mobility or those with past injuries. But perhaps the most beneficial use might be in pain management and in fighting the common effects of aging, such as stiff, achy joints, loss of mobility, and loss of strength and bone density. Studies have shown that it also increases your natural hormone levels, while decreasing your levels of cortisol.
Whole body vibration exercises improve blood flow and circulation of lymphatic fluid that are essential to good health, your joints receive necessary movement, providing proper nutrition to the cartilage. Joint mobility is naturally increased also. If you combined WBV with joint mobility movements, I'm sure you would get a synergistic effect, where you received results more quickly. It would also go great with massage therapy to reduce pain and increase your ability to move without pain or tension overall the WBV increase the quality of life.
