How WBV Works

Although there are 2 popular types of WBV technology, they both work on the same principle:

On a WBV machine, the platform you stand on moves very rapidly. This controlled motion is transferred up through your body.  All of your body tissues are forced to react to the stimulus of the vibrating platform.  Bllood flow increases considerably and more oxygen gets circulated throughout your body.  Lymphatic drainage improves which aids in detoxification and increased bone mineral density.

The way you position your body on the vibrating platform determines what tissues are affected.  You have complete control over the body part you want to target and how challenging the workout is.

Vertical technologies tend to be more versatile as compared to machines that use Pivotal technology.  Because the platform on Pivotal machines moves like a teetor-totter, you are unable to perform many unilateral (1-legged) positions or exercises where you sit directly on the platform.
