Whole Body Vibration

With whole-body vibration (WBV), a passive and highly-effective form of exercise, you stand or sit on our machines that have a vibrating platform.

With each vibration, the machine delivers energy to your body, which forces your muscles to contract and relax dozens of times each second. WBV is an intense exercise that stimulates both our muscles and our neurons to fire twenty to fifty times per second. This powerful stimulation of the nervous system causes a surge in electromagnetic energy to shoot through our body and into our brain. Whole body vibration can be life-changing in its effects on the nervous system and brain.

Immediate effects include rapidly rising levels of two neurotransmitters, serotonin and nor-epinephrine, that have positive effects on mood and energy levels. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter in your brain that contributes to sounder sleep and feelings of mastery, pleasure, and relaxation. This is the same neurotransmitter that is targeted by prescription antidepressant drugs such as Prozac and Wellbutrin, as well as many street drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, and Ecstasy.
