While the use of vibration therapy is considered a new idea to most health, fitness and medical professionals, it does not suffer from a lack of supportive research. The overwhelming consistency of findings from the scientific research that exists, is a compelling prelude to our machines future applications, and their impact as a method of fitness training and personal wellness care.

These studies are examples of published science, supporting whole body vibration technology as used for building muscle strength, increasing bone density, hormonal balance, blood and lymph circulation, and pain reduction. This list is not complete as Research and findings are being added every day.
