Whole Body Vibration was first developed in the Soviet Union!
To allow Soviet cosmonauts to withstand the effects of weightlessness in outer space for months at a time.
• The Soviets conducted rigorous scientific studies spanning several decades that confirmed the re markable restorative powers and safety of whole body vibration
• Soviet and Russian cosmonauts have lived in space for more a year (420 days) without suffering serious health effects of weightlessness. American astronauts who did not use whole body vibration conditioning were able to live in space for only 120 days due to muscle weakness and lowered bone density
• Researchers in Germany developed the first commercial whole body vibrational device, driven by electrical motors based on simple mechanical principles
• Scientists in South Korea have developed a more sophisticated patented technology that eliminates many of the limitations of earlier vibrational devices
• The remarkable increase in effectiveness of this new TurbSonic approach has been demonstrated in
