3 Types of WBV
There are 3 different types of Whole Body Vibration technology. | |

| Vertical vibration is best for accelerated training, muscle toning, and osteoporosis. | Oscillating vibration is best for fat loss and core strengthening. | Elliptical vibration is best for balance, stability, and rehabilitation. | ||
The platform moves straight up and down with minimal horizontal movement. | One side of the platform elevates up, while the other side lowers down, alternating like a “teeter-totter”. | Elliptical platforms move similarly to vertical units but with more horizontal and less vertical movement. | ||
You can feel vibrations through the top of your head when standing straight. Imagine jumping on a trampoline 20-50 times a second. | You feel a “back and forth” movement focused on your hips and pelvic region. It feels like you are taking 25 steps a second. | You feel the vibration massage mostly in your legs and feet. It's comprable to a foot massager that's made for your whole body. | ||
