Wellness

You don’t have to be an athlete or in need of physical therapy to benefit from using Power Plate® machines. There are health benefits possible for everyone, such as enhanced metabolism, increased bone mineral density, reduction of the stress hormone cortisol, elevation of Human Growth Hormone and improved lymphatic flow. Power Plate® machines help the body in all these ways with little impact on joints and ligaments, and without always feeling like traditional “exercise.”

 


 Spa / Beauty

 

More than just an exercise and rehabilitation machine, Power Plate® machines offer the capacity for whole body massage and relaxation. Not only can Power Plate® machines passively work all the muscle groups in the body, but they can reduce stress by decreasing cortisol levels while raising levels of serotonin. Using Power Plate® machines helps increase circulation and oxygenate blood flow, leading to a decrease in toxins in the body, which causes a reduction in the appearance of cellulite. It also helps the body by increasing bone mineral density to fight osteoporosis, and increasing the production of collagen to encourage firmer, smoother skin. These benefits contribute significantly to the complete spa experience.

"After only 13 sessions I have lost 11 pounds in weight.
More importantly, I have a better quality of life because of the decrease in my chronic sciatica condition that I have had for years."

-- Dorothy McCullen, Power Plate user

 Anti / Active Aging

Power Plate® machines provide a simple solution to preventing age-related muscle loss, bone density loss and skin wrinkles. Firstly, Acceleration Training™ exercise using Power Plate® machines contributes to a more youthful feeling due to an increase in the secretion of serotonin, the “feel good” neurotransmitter. Secondly, not only can Power Plate® machines improve muscle strength, but they also help increase flexibility and range of motion while stimulating the production of collagen, creating tighter, more beautiful skin. And finally, Power Plate® machines help fight the effects of osteoporosis through aiding the body in increasing bone mineral density. Power Plate® machines help play a vital role in enhancing wellness and overall quality of life.
 

My hips quit hurting almost instantly. I'm in much better shape and I don't hurt anywhere. At my yearly physical the bone density test showed more bone growth than the physician could account for with the medications I was taking. The only new event in my life was the Power Plate. She is researching the machine for herself and I bought one."

 Fitness : Sports Performance

Top athletes and everyday sports enthusiasts are always looking for better ways to train their body and gain a competitive edge. For serious athletes, workouts on the Power Plate® machines enhance the results of conventional training and explosive strength training, as well as serve athletes and trainers alike to speed recovery and regeneration times. Because of the extensive academic and independent scientific research, professional sports teams throughout the world use Power Plate® machines as part of their strength, conditioning and rehabilitation programs.

Acceleration Training™ exercise is designed to dramatically enhance sports training as both a supplement to and an alternative form of training. In just minutes, range of motion and stability can increase, providing a perfect warm-up before training or competing. In addition to being an ideal pre-event tool, Power Plate® machines are an excellent means of continuously maximizing performance. As the vibrations stimulate fast-twitch muscle fibers, athletes who use Power Plate® machines over time experience a dramatic increase in explosive strength, motor learning, muscular endurance and overall agility.

   "We have been successfully using Power Plate as part of our strength and conditioning training program for some time.

We have been so pleased with the results that we now use it pitch-side at home matches and have incorporated it into our pre-match warm-ups and post-match warm-downs, relaxation and massage to aid in the recovery process."


-- Mark Taylor, Head of Sports Medicine & Science at Bolton Wanderers FC

 Medical : Rehabilitation


Not only can Acceleration Training™ exercise using Power Plate® machines prevent injuries, it can help rehabilitate them as well. Many professional sports teams have found Power Plate® machines to be indispensable for rehabilitation. The ability to strengthen muscles without strain on joints and ligaments can be extremely valuable for patients with rehabilitation needs. Increased blood circulation helps bring oxygen to inflamed areas to promote healing, while improved lymphatic flow helps drain fluid build-up from injured tissue. Physical therapists around the world have found the benefits of Power Plate® machines invaluable in their practices. "In our patient population, we are noticing an increase in strength, balance, endurance,

ability to stand and walk better and quicker by using the Power Plate."

 Golf

Golfers are often advised to get to the course 45 minutes before they play in order to warm up, but that’s easier said than done. Warming up for just five minutes using a Power Plate® machine before hitting the tee will help provide that needed stretch to put more of you in the game. These efforts can translate into improved range of motion, greater flexibility, better posture, increased power and faster recovery after the game. That’s why so many strength and swing coaches use Power Plate® machines with their clients, including a range of PGA players. "I have found that The Power Plate has increased my strength, stamina, mobility and overall coordination – all critical elements to success on the golf course."

 

-- Rocco Mediate, professional golfer
