Applications

Power Plate is a suitable treatment for various ailments afflicting the aging population, and the whole body vibration technology behind Power Plate produces measurable results. Healthcare professionals have reported benefits in conditions ranging from debilitating chronic conditions to obesity concerns.

MUSCULOSKETAL

WBV has been clinically proven to speed up recovery of musculoskeletal injuries, reduce pain, improve neuromuscular strength, and improve flexibility.

Increased blood flow caused by the distal circulatory effects of WBV, reduces soft tissue inflammation, increases blood flow, and aids in the displacement of acids and waste products from damaged muscle groups1.

Stimulation of mechanoreceptors, reduces pain by disrupting the pain-feedback loop; allowing patients to go further in their physical rehabilitation exercises without suffering further injury and aiding in quicker recovery2.

WBV has been proven to reduce pain intensity, increase strength and dynamic balance performance in patients with chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis3.

WBV's cumulative ability to speed up recovery for a wide range of acute and chronic conditions, makes it an ideal tool for physiotherapeutic practices such as skilled nursing, PT, Chiropractic, and active aging interventions.
