| The science behind Whole Body Vibration |
The technology behind omega health equipment was originally developed in the Soviet Union to treat Cosmonauts who experience bone and muscle wasting as a result of living in zero gravity and has since been refined to enhance the performance of Olympic athletes. This innovative and ground breaking technology has been subjected to extensive research and studies
in over 30 Universities world wide and the European Space Agency.
The effects of the vibrations can be targeted to specific areas-back, quads, calf, hamstrings, pelvic floor etc. An intense workout is performed in a brief time, without muscle soreness following exercise. You will be assessed by one of our qualified physiotherapists and an individual program will be devised for you to achieve your goals with maximum training effects.
Do you suffer from?
Back or neck pain
Arm or leg pain
poor balance
Difficulties with walking
Muscular weakness
Osteoporosis
Diabetes-Poor Circulation of the legs & feet
Poor muscle control
Incontinence
You can use whole body vibration therapy to:
Reduce/Eliminate Pain
Improve muscle strength
Increase joint motion
Increase muscle tone & muscle mass
Increase bone density associated with osteoporosis
Increase flexibility & co-ordination
Improve circulation associated with Diabetes
Strengthen pelvic floor muscles and improve pelvic floor function
Improve balance & decrease risk of falling
Rehabilitate with CP, Parkinsons
Improve core stability
Decrease diastolic blood pressure
Conditions not suitable for use of whole body vibration or for which programs need to be modified:
Pregnancy
Pacemaker
Acute Thrombosis (blood clots)
Malignant tumours
Recent fractures
Gallbladder or kidney stones
Metal implants
Acute inflammation/Pain
Epilepsy
