Vibration Plate Therapy (WBV)

Whole Body Vibration (WBV) Plates in Portland OR

Whole body vibration (WBV) plates are fitness devices that generate vibrations to stimulate muscle contractions. These are often used for rehabilitation, strength training, and fitness.

Benefits of WBV plates offered by our Medical Clinic in Portland OR:

• Muscle Strength and Conditioning: Regular use of vibration plates has been shown to improve muscle strength, especially in the lower body, by enhancing neuromuscular activation.
• Bone Density Improvement: WBV is beneficial in increasing bone mineral density, particularly in populations at risk for osteoporosis (like postmenopausal women and older adults).
• Improved Balance and Coordination: Studies indicate that WBV training can improve balance and reduce the risk of falls, particularly in older adults or people undergoing rehabilitation.

These outcomes are generally supported by evidence from studies:

• Study on WBV Benefits (Nature)
• Research on Bone Density (PMC)
• Study on Balance and Coordination (PMC)
