The benefits of whole-body vibration

Whole body vibration is a treatment in which you stand, sit or lie on a machine with a vibrating platform. As the machine vibrates, it forces your muscles to contract and relax dozens of times each second. Some of the reported benefits include improved muscle tone and increased strength, less inflammation, increased bone mass, and more.

Research has shown that whole-body vibration can be beneficial for several conditions - increased strength in the muscles around the knee, reduced pain and improved function in knee osteoarthritis, better healing of fractures caused by osteoporosis, and less delayed-onset muscle soreness after workouts.
