Circulation

Proper circulation is important to maintain health and well-being. Exercise has shown to have a positive effect on circulation and lymph drainage. This is particularly important in recovery from strenuous exercise, or in various medical conditions such as diabetes, where circulation is of utmost importance.

Gentle rapid contractions, repeated at a high rate, allow the muscle to work as a pump, resulting in increased blood flow within the peripheral circulatory system.

Whole body vibration has demonstrated positive effects on blood flow. Gentle rapid contractions, repeated at a high rate, allow the muscle to work as a pump, resulting in increased blood flow within the peripheral circulatory system. This results in the body carrying off waste products much faster, thereby enhancing recovery.

Vibration exercise effects:

• Enhanced peripheral and systemic blood flow
• Enhanced peripheral lymphatic flow
• Increased venous drainage
