What is Vibration Therapy?
Vibration therapy, can mean different things to different people. The term itself refers to both whole-body vibration therapy (WBVT) and targeted vibration therapy (TVT). An interesting way to treat some challenging health conditions. This type of therapy sends gentle vibrations throughout the whole body or targeted area that stimulates the muscle. This causes the muscle to contract and relax. Moreover, certain types of vibrations may cause your body to produce more osteoblasts. These are cells that produce bone.
What is the Difference between Targeted and Whole-Body Vibration Therapy?
Targeted vibration therapy usually focuses on a specific part of the body. In other words, one can use it to focus it on the head, back, neck, or legs. This type of therapy often uses a handheld or worn vibrating device.
Whole-body vibration therapy is the opposite of targeted therapy. This therapy, on the other hand, sends the vibrations into the whole body using a machine with a large platform that vibrates.
Both forms of therapy can relieve temporary or chronic conditions. The direction and intensity of vibrations is the factor of how well the therapy works.
