Vibration/inversion tHERAPY

What is a vibration plate?

This is a platform you stand on while it lightly or intensely vibrates your body. Some devices have handles while others do not. These devices are used to improve circulation and burn calories in a way that is similar to exercise.

How does the vibration plate work?

Some of the vibration plates are timed with intensity adjustments, low to high, while others simply have an on/off switch. All devices and services are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Five minutes on a low-intensity setting or as little as 30 or 60 seconds might be appropriate at a higher intensity.

Why use a vibration plate?

NASA uses vibration therapy to increase astronauts’ muscles and bone strength in space.  Consistent use provides superior results in improved circulation and released tension.

What is an inversion table?

A platform that helps to decompress your spine by hanging you upside down. Our table is height & degree adjustable.

How does the inversion table work?

The first time using the device, or until you feel comfortable, you can get the help of a team member to help you adjust the height and the degree you want to go upside down. It is really important to secure your ankles tightly. It is also really important to work your way up in the amount of time you spend upside down, as well as, the degree.

Why use an inversion table?

The activities in our modern lifestyles lead us to sit often which is very constricting on the spine. Gravity also compresses us while standing, walking, or running. By hanging upside down, over time, we might decompress and create more flexibility.

  • It is recommended to use the restroom beforehand. We might not be aware that we are holding anything until we feel the movement from vibration. 

  • Depending upon your level of health and comfort on the vibration plate we suggest combining L-squats, calf raises, and tiptoe exercises on the vibration plate. Moving the joints on the vibration plate encourages circulation and healing.

  • Some studies have indicated a reduced need for surgery for patients with Pure Single Level Lumbar Discogenic Disease who used inversion therapy in a 2012 study. Another study suggested that zero-gravity by an inversion table can reduce compression. Their study suggests inversion therapy may prevent disability from back problems and could also reduce the need for surgery. 

    Other claims are that it might help with flexibility, chronic lower back pain, poor circulation, sciatica, and scoliosis. 

    Inversion therapy might help you pass painful kidney stones when combined with diuresis (excess water loss).  

    Inversion may also help to destress by positioning your head below your heart. These positions activate the parasympathetic nervous system(rest-and-digest mode).

  • Certain conditions create more risk with inversion.

    Avoid utilizing the inversion table if you have high blood pressure, glaucoma, osteoporosis, hernia, or an injury that interferes with inversion. 

    Certainly check with your doctor if you have any issues with bones or joints, cardiovascular conditions, or other infections. Other complications can arise utilizing the inversion table during pregnancy or with obesity, retinal detachment, and with the use of blood clotting medicines.

  • It is best to ease your way into inversion therapy. Start off by declining 20-30 degrees for a short amount of time. Once you feel acclimated, increase the intensity by declining further and/or by staying longer.
