Therapeutic Benefits of Whole Body Vibration Plates:

Whole body vibration has been shown to benefit children with Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Spinal Cord Injuries, Autism and others by improving muscle tone, strength, postural control, and much more. Using different frequency zones, or speed of vibration, along with different exercises and positions, it can provide different effects to the muscles depending on a child’s needs. It can be a helpful tool for getting faster results when used in conjunction with activities within the clinic as well as with home exercise programs! Come find out how you could start using one within your child’s daily routine!
