Whole-Body Vibration Therapy (WBVT)
This treatment has been tested and researched for over 30 years, dating back to Russian cosmonaut research. This whole body vibration (WBV) technology was instrumental in allowing the Russian cosmonauts to stay healthy for much longer in space compared to the other astronauts from other nations. Its benefit is based on the frequent vibration waves sent through the body, which causes most muscles in your body to rapidly contract, 25-50 times per second. This means that you can get an effective workout in 5-15 minutes of time. Doing this a few times a week is enough to see benefits in a matter of weeks.
It has been studied and developed so much that it is found not only in professional and Olympic fitness facilities, but also in medical-rehabilitation clinics. Our naturopathic office offers whole-body vibration therapy, on its own, or as part of the Weight & Metabolism Program.
