Whole Body Vibration (WBV) technology has been around since the late 1800’s
in its loosest form and the technology as we are now beginning to understand and
use, surfaced in 1960.
Whole Body Vibration (WBV) Technology was developed in Germany and used a technique
called rhythmic neuromuscular stimulation. Russian scientists began to study the
use of Whole Body Vibration Technology and how it could be used to rehabilitate
their cosmonauts after returning from space.
The two main issues cosmonauts faced when returning home were muscles atrophy and
the loss of bone density due to the weightlessness and lack of resistance in a zero
gravity atmosphere.
Whole Body Vibration Technology (WBV) provided safe and effective treatment for
these conditions. General resistance training uses only 30 to 40% of muscles; where
to date through continual studies on Whole Body Vibration, it uses approximately
90% of the muscle fibers!
Whole Body Vibrations is also used to prevent injury or in the event of injury reduce
rehabilitation time.
Whole Body Vibration Technology is relatively new to the Canada and the United
States.
When WBV was first introduced the units were extremely expensive and there were
no backing studies yet done, they stayed relatively unknown. It has only been since
adapted by NASA and many major sports teams that our health clubs have now embraced
them.
