Vibe Plate Whole Body Vibration Therapy

Whole body vibration therapy is an innovative treatment that uses a specially designed platform to transmit mechanical energy to your body. As you stand or sit on the vibration plate, your body is exposed to vibrations which can lead to muscle contractions and increase in circulation. This approach stimulates your muscles, improves balance, increases strength, and can even aid in weight loss.

Based in Charleston, South Carolina, Axis Chiropractic offers personalized whole body vibration therapy sessions tailored to your specific health goals.

What is Whole Body Vibration Therapy?

Whole body vibration therapy is a leading-edge treatment that harnesses the power of vibrations to stimulate muscle contractions and improve overall physical function. Also known as vibration exercise, the therapy involves standing, sitting, or lying on a platform that emits gentle vibrations, which are transferred to the body. These vibrations cause the muscles to contract and relax rapidly, simulating the effects of exercise without the need for strenuous physical activity.

The mechanism of action behind vibration therapy lies in the rapid-fire vibrations that force the muscles to contract and release. This stimulation enhances blood flow, improves circulation, and promotes tissue growth. Additionally, it activates the body’s natural reflexes, which can help improve balance, coordination, and flexibility.
