Whole Body Vibration Exercise Therapy
Berton Physiotherapy & Chiropractic is pleased to provide patients in the Windsor area with the therapeutic results of vibration exercise therapy. Also referred to as whole-body vibration therapy, this safe form of physical therapy offers valuable benefits in far less time than with conventional exercise therapy.
The Benefits of Vibration Exercise Therapy
The gentle nature of vibration therapy makes it suitable for a wide range of patients. These benefits have been experienced by athletes, the elderly, the young, the disabled, the obese and the physically fit. At Berton Physiotherapy & Chiropractic, we integrate this treatment modality. This is to help patients experience the benefits.
Vibration Therapy: An Emerging Phenomenon
Vibration therapy is an emerging phenomenon in North America that Dr. Roger Berton and Lana Berton extensively reviewed. Relatively new to North America, whole-body vibration exercise therapy has been in research for over 40 years. It was originally designed to treat Russian astronauts suffering from bone and lean muscle mass loss after spending extended time in weightless environments. Shortly after, Russian Olympic athletes took advantage of whole-body vibration exercise to improve recovery times and to boost power and strength.
Whole Body Vibration Benefits include:
- Quicker recovery from surgery
- Faster recovery from work and sport-related injuries
- Improved circulation and lymphatic drainage
- Improvement in bone density
- Improved strength and coordination
- Better balance
- Higher levels of fitness
- Decreased edema and swelling.
- Nervous system function improvement
- Improved flexibility
- Better metabolism
- Reduced pain perception
Further Research
After whole-body vibration exercise was introduced in Europe during the early 1990s, further research validated the positive effects. The technology quickly gained acceptance in North America. Now, universities, professional sports teams, and health professionals in the rehabilitation and medical fields use it.
Our Research
During their objective research, Dr. Roger Berton and Lana Berton discovered an extremely wide variety of whole-body vibration therapy machines. They discovered not all whole-body vibration machines are created equally based on several factors including vibration motions, quality, and performance.
To ensure Berton Physiotherapy & Chiropractic patients receive maximized therapeutic results, the clinic is equipped with a new cutting-edge vibration therapy machine that is gentle on the body joints.
Progression Fitness PV2690 Vibration Trainer
The Progression Fitness PV2690 Vibration Trainer is one of the most effective machines. It uses tri-planar technology with up to 50HZ of intensity. In addition, Progression Fitness, the machine’s manufacturer, is a big believer in the benefits of vibration training. It was among the first companies to bring the machines and new technologies mainstream.
Berton Physiotherapy & Chiropractic Windsor, Ontario is passionate about helping their patients achieve the therapeutic results that whole-body vibration exercise can bring.
