ADVANCED THERAPY & FITNESS FOR SENIOR POPULATIONS

Optimal Vertical Vibration Advanced Non-Weight Bearing Muscle

Conditioning Advanced Passive Rehabilitation

WHOLE BODY VIBRATION/OSCILLATION TRAINING creates a fast twitch muscle response to the involuntary muscle contractions created by the vibration, and another simultaneous muscle response to the continuous instability that is being forced upon the body by the vertically shifting plane. This muscle response is called Tonic Reflex Vibration (TVR). While it is virtually impossible to produce a vibration machine with 100 % ‘Lineal Motion’, the patented design of the Health Mark units is as close as achievable. This design allows the body to work more directly against gravity, essentially allowing you to use your own body weight to work out with, while limiting side-ways stresses to the joints. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as ‘Hyper Gravity’ or ‘Increased Gravity’. The movement exerted onto and into your body by the vertical oscillation will help to optimize muscle performance in regards to strength, power, flexibility, and tone while improving reflex strength and balance. This same technology can also be used to relax and rehabilitate tired muscles, temporarily improve blood, lactic acid and lymphatic fluid circulation, and research has indicated that these techniques can also help increase bone mass density.

Training and therapy programs utilizing these advanced techniques allow muscle conditioning in a passive environment, thereby limiting the possibility of muscle, ligament and tendon strain that may otherwise become prevalent in senior populations.

The muscle strength, conditioning and balance gained through this type of advanced training is required to improve balance and gate in senior populations; and the agility that is enhanced is what is required in many instances to prevent near fall situations. The concept of improved mobility is not only a fitness concern for our senior populations, it more importantly an issue of independence and quality of life. This can be seen by the yearly statistics regarding injuries and convalescence resulting from falls amongst older populations.

Optimal Vertical Vibration is of primary importance in this arena of fitness and treatment, as by limiting tri-planar or sideways vibration stress will not be applied to the joints from and unnatural angle.

FREQUENCY Impulses or cycles per second delivered into the body By adjusting the frequency the user has the ability to alter the

rate of the involuntary reactive contractions that the body exhibits in response to the external stimuli.

Higher frequencies will effect fast twitch muscle fibers to a higher degree; and are therefore beneficial for agility, balance, strength, muscle endurance, and all of the associated health benefits

Lower frequencies will effect fast twitch muscle fibers at a slower rate, and incorporate more of the slow twitch muscle fibers; and are therefore beneficial for muscle strength, tone, power, and all of the associated health benefits.

AMPLITUDE The measurable amount of vertical lift, travel or vibration By adjusting the amplitude the user has the ability to alter the

effect of ‘Hyper Gravity’, or force being exerted onto the body through a combination of gravity and the user’s own body weight.

Higher amplitudes will exert increased forces; and are therefore beneficial for power, strength, muscle endurance, and all of the associated health benefits

Lower amplitudes will exert a reduced amount of force; and are therefore beneficial for muscle tone, massage & relaxation, limiting external force on damaged ligaments/tendons/joints during rehab, and all of the associated health benefits.

Allows for upper body muscle training in a non-weight bearing application

Allows for increased force to be applied to the lower body in a non-weight bearing application without increasing the frequency or amplitude

Allows for the strengthening and rehabilitation of joints, ligaments and tendons safely, without risking further injury due over exertion or rotation when performing similar movements with free weights or hydraulic units
