Innovative Therapy for Strength, Mobility & Wellbeing

Whole Body Vibration (WBV) Training is a cutting-edge therapy supported by scientific research and used worldwide to enhance fitness, rehabilitation, and overall wellbeing. At PhysiMed Health, WBV is incorporated into targeted training programs designed to support mobility, strength, bone health, and rehabilitation, with additional whole-body benefits as a welcome bonus.

What Is Whole Body Vibration Training?

Whole Body Vibration Training involves standing, sitting, lying, or performing specific exercises on a specially designed vibration platform. The platform oscillates at controlled frequencies, causing the body’s muscles to contract and relax multiple times per second.

These rapid, involuntary muscle contractions activate muscles more efficiently than traditional exercise—without placing excessive strain on joints.

How WBV Works

The vibration platform generates mechanical signals that travel through the body’s muscles, tendons, and connective tissues. This stimulation:

  • Activates deep and superficial muscle fibres
  • Improves muscle strength and coordination
  • Enhances balance and postural control
  • Promotes circulation and neuromuscular engagement


The gentle side-to-side rocking action stimulates muscle activation without the use of electrical impulses, making it comfortable and safe compared to many circulation devices.

Benefits of Whole Body Vibration Training

Research has shown that WBV can deliver a wide range of benefits, including:

  • Improved blood circulation
  • Enhanced collagen production for firmer skin
  • Reduced cellulite appearance
  • Emotional balance and wellbeing
  • Support for healthy blood pressure and cholesterol
  • Reduction in visceral fat and overall weight


While these benefits are supported by growing research, our clinical focus remains on functional health and performance.

Our Focus Areas at PhysiMed Health

At PhysiMed Health, WBV training is specifically programmed to support:

  • Fitness & Wellbeing – boosting overall physical function
  • Flexibility, Speed & Power – improving movement efficiency
  • Rehabilitation & Mobility – assisting recovery from injury or surgery
  • Bone Health – supporting bone density and strength


These core outcomes form the foundation of our WBV programs.

WBV for Rehabilitation & Performance

Originally developed for athletes, Whole Body Vibration Therapy (WBVT) is now widely used in rehabilitation and injury management. It allows muscles to work harder in less time, making it ideal for individuals who may be limited by pain, weakness, or reduced mobility.

Because the muscle contractions are involuntary, WBV enables effective training with minimal effort—perfect for rehabilitation, ageing populations, or those returning to exercise after injury.

Frequently asked questions

The Russians moved Vibration Technology forward in leaps and bounds during the Space Race period. It was used to counter the significant muscle loss experienced by Astronauts during their missions which was causing the rapid decline of their bone density. Since before the fall of the Berlin Wall they also used the technology to strengthen their athletes. Today it is recognised by fitness professionals worldwide for achieving excellent toning and strength results from short workout sessions and is widely used in gyms, by sporting teams and Personal Trainers.
There are literally hundreds of thousands of Vibration Plate users across the world, who have been exercising on the device for many years. Such widespread use with no reported negative effects over an extended period demonstrates the safety of training on Vibration Plate. As with any form of exercise, there are certain preexisting medical conditions, which may make Vibration Plate an unsuitable option. The Physical Therapy trainer has been trained extensively on this specialised equipment and will ask all the necessary questions at your first session to ensure the safest most beneficial way forward in your training and/or rehabiliation.
As with most forms of training, Vibration Plate Training will generate fatigue in the body. This fatigue is what stimulates the body to adapt and develop, but too much training results in excessive fatigue and over–training. As a very general guide we would suggest two to three training sessions per week, each lasting between 15 and 30 minutes and leaving 48 to 72 hours for recovery between sessions. At your first training session you will be assessed on what is the best schedule for you, depending on your needs.
Many people who use Vibration Plate with no other exercise are happy with their results. We do advise users to also engage in some form of cardiovascular exercise. It is important to remember that Vibration Plate can be used in conjunction with many other forms of training and pieces of exercise equipment.

When you stand on the vibrating machine, the platform moves upward and during this repetitive movement, it sends pulses of energy through your body. The intensity and frequency of these vibrations depends on the machine’s technical parameters, and are controlled by you, via the platform’s control panel. The energy sent by the platform is absorbed by your tissues and converted to heat.

Besides this effect, the vibration waves mobilize the joints and activate the muscles reflexes, causing the tissues to stretch and vibrate. The contractions of muscle fibers are similar to those caused by conventional strength exercises, and this is why WBV is considered a good alternative to regular strength training.

Given that the oscillating vibrating frequencies are applied to the entire body – skeleton, muscles, internal organs – and affect all systems, this form of physical activity has different effects at different vibration intensities.

Significant weight loss is often reported by those who use Vibration Plate regularly in conjunction with a healthy, calorie-controlled diet. One of the reasons for this is increased lymphatic flow and associated removal of biological waste, and retained fluid. Research shows, when used as part of an active lifestyle, Vibration Plate may have a significant impact upon the reduction of body fat. This may occur due to increases in metabolism both during and following exercise.
Yes, Vibration Plate training provides many of the effects of strength training, so you can replace regular workouts with vibrating machine exercises if you prefer. Your muscles, including the heart muscle, will get stronger, your bone density will increase, and your flexibility and balance will improve as well. And the best part is that you can perform a wide range of exercises, from lunges, triceps dips and push-ups to planks, mountain climbers and step-ups.

Yes, and I would say exactly because you don’t have very much time for workouts, you should try whole body vibration. Vibrating plate workouts can be intense, and you can get the same benefits you would obtain from a longer strength training session in a shorter time, because your muscles work harder, your heart rate is accelerated, your metabolic rate is enhanced.

Vibration Plate training is ideal for the busy lifestyle, as you can practice 10-15 minutes of vibration exercises in the morning before going to work, and do another short session in the afternoon, to relax your muscles, invigorate your body and mind and improve circulation after a tiring day at work. You can even fit a Vibration workout in the lunch break, but keep in mind that if you choose a high frequency and intensity, you will sweat and may feel tired after the workout.

To date, there are no indications that whole body vibration exercise performed on a high quality pivotal platform does or does not present a risk of harm to pregnant women however as a precaution, we do not recommend that this type of training be used during pregnancy.

Additionally the following conditions are contraindicated for Vibration Plate workouts:

  • Epilepsy
  • Some metal implants
  • Gall or kidney stones
  • Recent fractures
  • Acute inflammatory conditions

If other concerns exist we recommend you braing them up with your health professional before using the machine.

No, vibrating exercises won’t harm your joints, on the contrary, research suggests that this form of training is beneficial for warming the joints, mobilizing them and improving the range of motion, while reducing the pain caused by arthritis.
