Vibration Therapy

Vibration therapy is quickly becoming more and more popular among personal trainers, doctors, and the public. Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center in San Rafael, CA wants our patients to know what vibration therapy is, why it is becoming so popular, and who it can help.

Vibration therapy is a form of muscle strengthening that involves using a platform that vibrates. The specific frequencies the platform vibrates at are set depending on factors that involve each specific person. The person stands on the platform or performs dynamic movements and the vibrating intensifies the activation of the muscle fibers. A person can benefit from staying still or performing almost any type of exercise. The exercise is drastically increased, as some research shows that a twelve minute workout will reap the benefits of a ninety minute workout.

Vibration therapy has been shown to increase muscle strength, flexibility, and balance. It has also shown to increase bone density, provide weight loss, and provide pain relief. Vibration therapy decreases cortisol, increases serotonin, and can prevent injury. These are only some of the benefits vibration therapy can offer. Vibration therapy is great for those who need to cut down the length of their workouts, those with osteoporosis, and those who are unable to lift heavy weights.
