The studies referenced below are provided for general information only. These independent studies reference years of research into whole body vibration therapy. These studies have not been evaluated by the FDA. These studies were performed on a range of vibration platforms, independent of TheraVibe™ technology. The use of vibration therapy and training is a still relatively new concept to most health and fitness and medical professionals; however, plenty of supportive research exists. The overwhelming consistency of findings from scientific research that currently exists on the subject is a compelling precursor to Theravibe's potential applications and impact on this revolutionary method of training and treatment. Here are examples of published science, supporting some TWBV claims, including enhanced muscle strength, bone density, hormonal release/circulation and pain reduction.
