Revolutionary fitness machine vibrates at Arab Health

Power-Plate, already an acclaimed beauty and fitness machine used by professionals and sports enthusiasts across the world, has been shown to yield significant benefits in the treatment of various medical conditions.

The biomechanical aspects of Power-Plate are widely used for the prevention and treatment of different types of illnesses and injuries. "Power-Plate allows people with debilitating conditions such as Osteoporosis, Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Rheumatism, RSI, stroke victims and others to yield the benefit of exercise while working within their personal limitations," explained Philippe van Wassenhoven, physiotherapist, Wellness Medical Center, Dubai.

Power-Plate has also proven extremely effective in the fight against Obesity, which is directly influenced through advanced vibration training. The training develops leaner muscle tissue, and increases the metabolic rate, resulting in higher fat burn. Vibration training also increases the blood circulation enormously, enabling the body to get rid of the superficial fluids and improving lymphatic drainage. As a result of the increasing circulation the collagen in the skin is tightened and firmed.

"There is considerably more fat reduction in people who train for 10 minutes three times a week with the Power-Plate than in those who do aerobic activity for one to three times a week," said Nelke van Aspert, CEO, Power-Plate Middle East.

Studies have also shown that advanced vibration technology has a positive effect on bone density and muscle strength, thus providing a unique and innovative weapon for preventing or combating Osteoporosis. Although Osteoporosis can occur in men, it is most common in women. While several treatment options are available, they focus on slowing down or stopping bone loss, rather than regenerating bone density.

Vibration technology works by transferring the energy from the platform to the body, which then triggers rapid muscle contractions. Simple or advanced exercises are performed in a static or dynamic way on the platform with varying intensity, depending on the patient's fitness level.

Power-Plate has received five international health and fitness awards over the past few years and has become a staple at major medical, rehabilitation, therapeutic and fitness centres worldwide due to its various medical and health benefits.
