Whole Body
Advanced Vibration Exercise (WAVE)
This
breakthrough technology was introduced
in late summer 2007 to Chiropractic &
Nutrition Wellness Center. Whole Body
Advanced Vibration Exercise (WAVE), is
the next generation in physical
conditioning and training, providing
time efficient exercise and a genuine
break-through in medical rehabilitation.
Originating with Russian cosmonauts,
Whole Body Vibration (WBV) was used to
prevent astronauts from developing
severe bone mineral loss and subsequent
crippling osteoporosis after performing
extended space exploration in a
non-gravitational environment.
The vibration plate
works by stimulating the body’s natural
‘stretch reflex’. This is similar to the
knee jerk reaction that occurs when the
knee is tapped by a reflex hammer in a
doctor’s office. Without thinking about
it, your body responds with a strong
involuntary muscle contraction, leading
to your leg ‘kicking out’. The vibration
platform works in a very similar way.
3000 muscle
contractions per minute
The WAVE platform
drops either 2 or 4 mm. This is a very
small and gentle drop. For example,
let’s say that you are standing on the
vibration plate with a gentle knee bend.
Once the platform drops 2 mm, your
muscle is quickly lengthened, or
‘stretched’. The body reacts to this by
quickly contracting the muscle. By the
time it does that, the WAVE platform has
already returned to the first position.
The platform drops again and this is
repeated. Since the WAVE platform has
been designed to do this 20 to 50 times
per second, you can get a maximum of 50
muscle contractions per second! In one
minute, you can actually get 3000 safe
and gentle muscle contractions. This is
the equivalent to doing 3000 knee bends.
You can only imagine how long that would
take without the WAVE.

Training
Finally an exercise
that fits into YOUR schedule! No matter
what your age or activity level, WAVE
vibration exercise is a low impact
exercise that takes only 15 minutes,
three times a week. Backed by over 40
years of clinical research, this safe
and scientifically proven system is
helping everyday people achieve:
- Increased body
metabolism, increased
lymphatic mobilization and
accelerated cellulite
reduction
|
- Increased strength and
ballistic training and
explosive fast-twitch muscle
performance
|
- Improved neurocognition;
neuromuscular stimulation
and neuro-adaptation
(neurological
rehabilitation)
|
- Improved flexibility and
increased range of motion,
mobility and increased
balance
|
- Increased blood
circulation; increased
glucose metabolism at a
cellular level
|
- Increased bone density;
reduced muscle wasting

SUCCESS STORY
I Can Touch My Toes
and Grow My Bones!
I have been a
chiropractic and nutritional patient of
Dr. Johnson’s since 1996. In August of
2007, I had a bone density scan as
recommended by my M.D. The bone density
tests of the spine showed osteoporosis
and the bone density levels of the wrist
were close to osteopoenia. The M.D.
prescribed Fosamax, as well as
recommending nutritional supplements and
exercise. I did not want to take Fosamax
due to its side effects, but I did start
taking Magnesium, Calcium, and Vitamin
D.
After consulting
with Dr. Johnson about my condition, he
informed me of the benefits of Whole
Body Advanced Vibration Exercise (WAVE)
in building bone density. I started WAVE
therapies in November and used the
machine three times a week for 4 months.
My follow-up bone scan showed an
increase of 1.9% bone density in the
spine! This is now just osteopoenia, and
not osteoporosis. The wrist bone scan is
now normal density also!
Other benefits that
I have noticed from using the Wave are:
I have more energy, I can touch my toes
(which I could not even do as a child),
and I have firmed up all over my body. I
will be continuing on with this type of
exercise as I love the results!
