The Power Vibe Pro Whole Body Vibration (WBV) Machine is Here at MVHC!

• Accelerates Weight Loss - WBV stimulates all cells in the body to function at a higher rate, which in turn increases the metabolism causing more fuel to be burnt which helps to accelerate weight loss.

• Reduces Varicose Veins - WBV causes increased lymph drainage, which lowers the pressure in varicose veins so the valves of the veins can close off.

• Increases Energy - WBV stimulates all cells in the body, increases blood flow, and oxygen intake and stimulates metabolism to help flushes out toxins.

• Increases Bone Density - There are two types of bone cells. Ostioblast (bone maker) and Ostioclast (bone shaper) Bone loss is due to more Ostioclast than Ostioblast cells. WBV stimulates more weight bearing exercise and gravity stimulates ostioblast cells.

• Improves Muscle Strength the same way as regular exercise does. Vibrations lengthen and shorten the fibers how ever many times per second that you have the frequency set at, which is more efficient and increases strength.

• Enhances Wellness - WBV increases blood flow, lymph drainage, oxygenation of cells, the release of endorphins, and detoxification of the body.

• Improves Circulation through increased blood flow by stimulating the exercise heart rate.

• Improves Relaxation - WBV increases circulation, blood flow and oxygen intake. WBV also reduces cortisol (the stress hormone) and creates and releases endorphins. It also detoxifies the system, enhancing relaxation.
