Whole Body Vibration (WBV)
Is a revolutionary new method of training that incorporates the natural forces of gravity to stimulate the body in a pure up and down motion which is delivered to the spine. Our bones are constantly changing. Special cells are eating up old bone and other cells are building up new strong bone. Specific frequencies are utilized that stimulate the cells of the bone to grow. Most medications inhibit the cells that break down old cells without any stimulus to building up new bone. After many years of taking medication a sense of false security occurs because on xrays the bones look strong but they are not resiliant and become brittle. Like the difference between an alive branch or dead branch. Vertical vibration training can stimulate the bone building cells.
In my office I have demonstrated a 12% increase in femoral neck density after 6 months of Turbosonic training.(Read article) This is dramatically better than any medication or whole body vibration done at higher frequencies such as 30 hertz. Based on published data in an international study of patients taking FOSAMAX they experienced significantly greater increases in Bome mineral density at 24 months compared with Actonel at the following sites: lumbar spine 6.0% vs 4.2% ; hip 5.2% vs 3.7% , ; total hip 3.7% vs 2.4% and femoral neck 3.2% vs 2.3%.These numbers are substatially lower than using Turbosonic training.
With the majority of frequencies of stimulation between 6 hertz and 20 hertz ( no other machine or device in the world can deliver these very low frequencies) the bone growth is 2 to 4 times the amount in one forth of the time without risk of side effects.
Not only is the bone stonger but many other aspects of health improve at the same time.
