Whole Body Vibration

Whole Body Vibration (WBV) is delivered via a mechanical vibrating platform.

As the machine vibrates, it transmits energy and awaken proprioceptors in muscles , tendon and joints to the individual standing, sitting, lying or kneeling on the plate causing the muscles to contract and relax many times each second.

We use the Galileo plate which provides a side alternating motion based on the natural movement of human gait, creating a tilting movement of the pelvis.

With frequencies ranging from 5 – 30 Hz depending upon the platform, therapists are able to use the Galileo to address a variety of therapeutic goals including balance training, mobilization and stretching of tight muscles, spasticity reduction, and strength and coordination building.
