Making Use Of Whole Body Vibration To Recover From An Injury

By Laironda M. Eilerman


A calming massage is not the only advantage of the body when using whole body vibration. People can recover from injuries and surgeries at a quicker rate when this type of motion is applied to the body. Even if a person is not recuperating from an injury or surgery, the vibrations can still improve their health and well-being. People on all fitness levels and with different physical capabilities can use machines with this kind of movement because they are versatile.

A person might have difficulty standing after they have suffered from an injury or had an operation. This can be distressing because movement and exercise both promote a speedy recovery. Without having to do a tough workout or put a lot of strain on the body, people are able to see many of the benefits of cardiovascular exercise through whole body vibration. There is a lot of pain when working out when a person has had knee or hip surgeries. Even if a person rests in a chair and places his or her feet on the vibrating platform they will be able to experience the benefits of the vibrations. As their condition improves they are able to stand completely on the platform to receive maximum benefits.

One of the many benefits that people can get from machines with whole body vibration is low impact exercise. This type of exercise can reduce the risk of being injured because it is gentle on the joints. A broad range of people can take part in low impact exercise including people that are not in the best physical shape. When a person has an injury or undergoes surgery to the knees and hips, their movement can be severely limited because of pain and stiffness. People can recover from these injuries and finish their rehab by carrying out low impact exercises.

One other important factor for recovery from a trauma or operation is the circulation of the patient. If a person has poor circulation then the time it takes for them to completely recover could be longer than for other people. A vibration exercise machine functions by rapidly contracting the muscles which then act as a pump on the blood vessels to get the blood moving. This can accelerate the recovery process by causing the blood to remove the waste products and bring in healthy cells at a faster rate.

Whole body vibration is becoming increasingly popular among health professionals for getting patients to recover from their injuries and surgeries much faster. Patients are able to get back on their feet in a smaller period of time because this kind of exercise is gently on the joints and can increase circulation.
