How It Works
Oscillating motion is now thought to be the safest and most effective vibration technique by doctors and physiotherapists. Vibration Machines are used by many of the worlds top Medical Centers, Universities, Elite Training Facilities, Sports Teams and Health Clubs. ”Muscle and Fitness Magazine” proclaims Vibrating Exercise Technology to be “one of the fastest growing fitness trends since spinning”. It is safe, easy and effective for anyone to use.
When you stand on your Total Body Shaper, the vibration energy is transferred to your entire body. This first stimulates receptors in the Achilles tendons that stimulate Nerve Receptors, which track up to the Cerebellum (the part of the brain that is responsible for balance). This pleasant vibrating action, causes the brain to tell the muscles of your body to actively contract to maintain their equilibrium, thus creating a therapeutic and muscle-toning workout. With oscillation vibration, the impact on the spine is greatly reduced because the compression from the upward pulse through one leg, is balanced against the decompression from the downward pulse through the other leg. Unlike Piston vibration, which may cause problems and discomfort, the oscillating vibration motion is multi-dimensional. Independent Research has shown that an oscillating motion is the safest and most effective for the human body. The Total Body Shaper is designed to produce therapeutic vibrations from the feet up through your entire body. The vibration platform causes very rapid muscle contractions that work your muscles continuously. These contractions not only build muscle and bone density, but improve flexibility, burn fat, increase metabolism, improve circulation, improve cellular oxygen and nutrient delivery, which slows the degenerative/ageing process.
Whole Body Vibration utilizes a very specific frequency range, that is proven in research to be safe and effective. Every object has a resonance frequency. For example, internal organs and the spine have a resonance frequency between 5 and 10 Hz. Research reveals that longer term exposure to vibration at frequencies lower than 5 HZ is not recommended due to resonate vibration of the organs.
Total Body Shaper features:
- “Oscillating Vibration” on several models
- “Triplaner and Oscillating” motion in our newest model as illustrated below
