What whole-body vibration therapy is
Whole-body vibration therapy has you stand, sit, or perform simple movements on a vibrating plate. The vibration causes rapid, low-impact muscle contractions, which can help engage muscles, support circulation, and serve as a warm-up before other activity. It's low-impact and generally well-tolerated. We use it as a supportive add-on within a broader plan, not as a standalone treatment for any specific condition.
Who it may help
Vibration therapy is typically included as a supportive add-on for:
- Patients warming up before other treatment or exercise
- General circulation and movement support as part of a broader recovery plan
What to expect
A session is straightforward: you stand or perform simple, guided movements on the vibration plate for a set period, typically a few minutes at a time. It's low-impact and generally comfortable. It's usually included alongside other services during your visit rather than scheduled as a standalone appointment.
