The Benefits Of Whole Body Vibration On The Recovery From An Injury

By Laironda M. Eilerman


A calming massage is not the only benefit of the body when using whole body vibration. The body is able to heal from injuries and operations at a faster rate when it encounters this type of movement. A person's overall health and well-being can be enhanced from vibrations that move throughout the body. People on all fitness levels and with various physical capabilities can use machines with this type of movement because they are versatile.

After a person undergoes surgery or has an injury they may not be able to stand. A person needs exercise and has to move around in order to recover from an injury or surgery quickly. A person can get several of the health benefits of aerobic exercise when using whole body vibration, but they won't have to engage in strenuous activities. People who have had knee or hip injuries or surgeries may find it particularly difficult to exercise due to pain. Even if an individual rests in a chair and places his or her feet on the vibrating platform they will be able to experience the benefits of the vibrations. The person may be able to stand on the platform to see more positive results as their condition improves.

Devices that provide whole body vibration movements are deemed to be low impact. This type of exercise can reduce the risk of being injured because it is gentle on the joints. Being low impact also means that this type of exercise is ideal for a wide range of people especially those that are not in top physical condition. When a person has an injury or goes through surgery to the knees and hips, their motion can be severely limited because of pain and stiffness. People can recover from these injuries and complete their rehab by doing low impact exercises.

The circulation of a person is another thing that can be impacted while they are recovering from an injury. If a person has poor circulation then the time it takes for them to completely recover could be longer than for other people. A vibration exercise machine works by rapidly contracting the muscles which then act as a pump on the blood vessels to get the blood moving. This causes the blood to remove waste products from the system more quickly and bring in healthy cells to speed up the recovery process.

Whole body vibration is getting to be more and more popular among health professionals for getting patients to recover from their injuries and surgeries much faster. Patients are able to get back on their feet in a smaller period of time because this type of exercise is gently on the joints and can increase circulation.
