Osteoporosis

Whole-body vibration was first developed to treat bone density loss and muscle atrophy among cosmonauts and astronauts after been exposed to zero-gravity conditions. Gravity on earth applies a constant load on the skeletal system that’s why bones maintain a certain density. Power Plate elevates this load and helps to increase bone density. Whole body vibration enhances blood circulation and metabolism, allowing fragile bone tissue to receive more nutrients through better blood circulation. The vibration also affects the hormonal balance, which leads to efficient bone remodeling. Regular training with the Power Plate has been shown to improve osteoporosis For that Power Plate has been awarded the MDD (CE) Medical Device Certification in the EU. According to studies Power Plate increases bone density and improves both muscular strength and posture especially among middle-aged women.

Do you want to know the condition of your bones? Bindex bone density measurement offers a quick and painless way to assess the health of your bones – in just a few minutes. Early detection helps you avoid fractures and issues caused by bone fragility.

Lower Back Pain and Neck-Shoulder Pain

These are one of the most common conditions we see at our studio. Massage treatments on or with the Power Plate increase blood flow and lymphatic circulation. A well hydrated soft tissue flushes inflammatory markers and stress hormones away and reduces pain. The body is able to relax.  

Knee Pain 

Many knee problems are caused by too tight and shortened muscles and tendons in the thighs and buttocks. The joints are pulled into wrong positions. Even difficult knee pain can disappear when the natural movement of the leg and the metabolism in the knee area is safely restored. A very important part of knee rehabilitation is also getting mental support and finding the courage to make the most of your knee.

Other causes of knee pain such as wrong positions of the foot, ankle, and hip, osteoarthritis and the IT tendon (especially the runners and other physically active people) can also all be effectively treated with the Power Plate.  

A ruptured anterior crucial ligament (ACL) is a very common trauma in the knee. Post-operative rehabilitation plays an essential role in the treatment. Pain control, mobilisation in a safe manner and affective training of supportive muscles speed up the recovery process. Read more:

Joint disorders

Power Plate is an excellent solution for treating osteoarthritis, the most common cause of chronic pain in Finland. Osteoarthritis and many post-traumatic conditions can be treated effectively and safely with vibration training. Even small, static exercises are often enough to enhance muscle strength and provide support for the joints. The increased metabolism treats the affected area naturally and supports and shortens the healing process.

Chronic Pain Conditions

Numerous studies show that exercise is highly effective in managing chronic pain conditions. The harmonic, three-dimensional vibration directly influences the nervous system, enhancing its regeneration and balancing its functions. The effects of vibration on muscle tissue boost metabolism and blood circulation, enabling the body to repair itself naturally from the inside out.
The relaxing effect of vibration can reduce pain during and after the training with the Power Plate. Additionally, hormonal activity, particularly the elevated hormone levels triggered by exercise (e.g., endorphins, adrenaline, dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin), play a crucial role in exercise-based pain management. Whether the issue is migraine, trigeminal neuralgia, sciatica, disc herniation or other disc problems, fibromyalgia, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, or lower back pain – we are here to help! 

Metabolic Disorders

In adulthood, the changes in hormonal function radically affect our metabolism. Many of us forget to adjust our sleeping, eating and exercise habits to the new requirements of our body. In middle age it is common to experience fatigue, powerlessness, weight gain and general reluctance. Finding the right diet for your bodies needs is crucial to manage weight problems.

The vibration training can help you to get more power and motivation back into your daily life. Power Plate training activates the muscle pump and supports the venous blood return and boosts the lymphatic system. This high level of accelerating the circulation, balancing the hormones and regulating the metabolism consumes a lot of energy in the body - even up to 72 hours after training!

Frozen Shoulder and Rotator Cuff Syndrom

These are nasty conditions which can take years to heal. Swelling and inflammation around the shoulder joint, pain during movement, reduced mobility and blood flow in the tissue worsen the situation. Adding Power Plate training to the functional rehabilitation significantly reduces pain and shortens recovery time.

Our customer says: "I am a tennis player and got diagnosed with a frozen shoulder. After only 10 Power Plate sessions my mobility improved so much that I was able to play tennis again. I warmly recommend Power Body Helsinki; my whole body feels so much better now."  

Diastasis Recti

Abdominal muscle separation does not occur only after a pregnancy but can also be a disposition. In men, the most common form is a hernia in the stomach area from the navel upwards. The abdominal muscles, together with the pelvic floor, diaphragm and spine, form an important package of muscles and fascia to support and protect the inner organs and the spine. If this framework is out of balance urological problems, gynecological problems and back pain appear. Choosing the right exercises is crucial for getting the balance back. With whole body vibration you can target all these important muscles at the same time and elevate your core recovery very fast. It is important to have an experienced trainer when treating a diastasis recti with a Power Plate. At Power Body Helsinki our team has the expertise and skills to take care of you. In addition to qualifications in healthcare and further trainings, Elina, for example, has now four years of personal experience in treating a diastasis recti.

Vibration training is also an affective way to enhance post-partum recovery and strengthening the muscles in lower pelvis area.

Neurological conditions

Three-dimensional, harmonic vibration affects the body through the nervous system. Therefore, Power Plate may help control symptoms of Parkinsons disease and MS. However, the response of the body is always individual and depends on many other factors. In these cases, well-trained, experienced nurses will help you if you decide to try the Power Plate

Fibromyalgia

According to a study even a six-week treatment period may help with pain and fatigue caused by fibromyalgia. In addition, it has been studiedthat three-dimensional vibration as the main form of rehabilitation or as an addition to other exercise methods relieves pain, increases balance, reduces fatigue and increases the healthy quality of life. A pilot study with the same results has been conducted on the topic.. 

Rehabilitation from various other nervous diseases, such as, e.g. paralysis syndromes, is greatly enhanced with the help of vibration. Using static movements in training facilitates performance, as do the support pillars of the equipment with handles. Studies show the effects of three-dimensional training on balance, posture and mobility:

the affects of vibration training on balance and muscle endurance

three-dimensional vibration training reducing the risk of falling among elderly

yindividual three-dimensional vibration training increasing mobility and muscle strength

For a busy schedule, a quick and effective Power Plate workout is even more valuable and likely the best investment for your future golden years. A healthy mind lives in a healthy body.
