Would you like to improve your peripheral blood circulation, improve your bone density, and suppress your chronic pain? Would you like to increase your metabolic rate, and improve your quality of life? Dr. Janis Guthy, Family Chiropractor, has opened Campbell Rivers' first WAVESTRENGTH VIBRATION FITNESS STUDIO!
Vibration exercise is based on 40 years of research and utilizes a frequency range that has been proven both safe and effective. The technology was originally designed to treat bone and lean muscle mass loss in cosmonauts while in space in addition to enhancing power and strength in Russian Olympic Athletes. Due to these benefits, this technology has gained acceptance across North America. Current research is being published in peer-reviewed journals such as Spine and the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research.
The exercise platform drops 2-4mm creating a vibration frequency between 20-50Hz. Using 'Plyometrics' the person stands or sits holding certain positions on the vibration platform. This simulates the body's natural stretch reflexes and causes muscles to involuntarily fire at approximately 2,400 to 3,000 contractions per minute. Fifteen minutes on the vibration plate allows similar strength gains to conventional physical training of one hour. Gentle, rapid contractions allow muscle to work as a pump, resulting in increased blood flow; enhanced metabolic rate, increased strength, balance and flexibility, positive effect on bone density, and suppression of chronic pain.
Just about anyone can benefit from vibration exercise. People with multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, chronic pain, fibromyalgia and the obese individual can now enjoy a comfortable and less-stress exercise in a non threatening environment. They key common factor that separates vibration exercise from conventional training is that all these individuals are either not able to attend a regular club to exercise or are unable to initiate regular exercise. Likewise, vibration exercise is also beneficial for athletes and teams who want to increase their sports performance.
Flexible monthly, yearly, or pay as you go memberships to the WaveStrength Vibration Studio are now available. Please call Dr. Janis Guthy at 250-287-3113. Located at Suite 103-250 Dogwood Street, Campbell River, BC.
