Whole body vibration (WBV) therapy is an innovative treatment approach which utilises a vibrating plate - sounds fun hey?! Children can sit, kneel, stand (the list goes on!) on the plate whilst it transmits energy through the body, making muscles contract and relax at rates of 25-50 times per second!
So what are the benefits?
Studies have shown that benefits of WBV therapy can include:
Increased muscle strength
Improved proprioception and balance
Reduction in muscle tone
Improved bone density
Improved walking ability
In a nutshell - it's a pretty cool piece of kit that can bring so many benefits! And what's even better is kids LOVE it and find it so much fun!
