Mobility and whole body vibration
Health Condition
As people age, they often develop joint pain and reduce their activity level. This reduced activity leads to muscle deterioration. As muscles become weak and people have poor circulation, it becomes increasingly difficult to exercise or take up any activity which will help improve the condition.
Whole Body Vibration and Mobility
LifetimeVibe vibration plate provides a comfortable workout. Unlike other machines, the rotary knob and oscillating vibration allows users to adjust movement to reduce pain. The machine also accelerates gradually and smoothly, unlike other machines that jump to a start with a sudden jolt. This provides nice pain relief for stiff joints.
The vibrations also build strong muscle tissue without putting stress on the joints. This smooth, small movement provides much needed movement without causing pain.
