Vibeplate™, now available at BCPT

“More results in half the time.” “Increase muscle strength twice as fast.” “Cut recovery time in half.” These claims sound to good to be true.  But when it comes to Whole Body Vibration (WBV), more strength, more speed, rapid recovery, increased flexibility, and coordination are all possible.  This revolutionary form of training is sweeping the country, and BCPT is excited to offer it to its patients.  WBV is the transmission of mechanical vibrations to the body through a vibration plate, stimulating fast twitch muscle fibers.  One of the safest and most reliable modes of WBV transmission is the VibePlateTM, developed in Lincoln, Nebraska, and offered exclusively in Rhode Island by BCPT.  By standing on the VibeplateTM, your body automatically adjusts to the vibrations and produces a stretch reflex, causing the repeated contraction of postural and stabilization muscles up to 3,600 TIMES PER MINUTE.  When you participate in a training program on the VibeplateTM, tremendous results are possible.

These reactions have been shown to increase the production of energy (ATP) available to the cell.  This increase in energy improves cellular metabolism, enhances blood flow, increases protein synthesis, reduces inflammation and expedites soft tissue healing rates.
