Most people think balance is a matter of strength.

If your legs are strong enough, the logic goes, you’ll stay steady. If they aren’t, you won’t.

But researchers who study mobility and fall prevention have discovered that strength is only part of the story. In many cases, the real issue has less to do with muscle and more to do with how quickly the nervous system coordinates the body.

Balance, it turns out, is not primarily a muscular skill. It’s a neurological one.

Every time you move, an enormous amount of information flows between your body and your brain.

Sensors in your muscles, joints, and tendons constantly report back about pressure, position, and motion. The brain processes these signals almost instantly and sends instructions back to stabilizing muscles throughout the legs, hips, and core.

This loop happens continuously and mostly without conscious thought.

When the system is working well, balance feels effortless. You step off a curb, adjust on uneven ground, or recover from a small stumble without even noticing that anything happened.

But when the communication between the nervous system and the body begins to slow, something subtle starts to change.

Movements become more cautious.

People begin looking down when they walk. They hesitate on stairs. They feel less certain stepping onto uneven surfaces.

The muscles themselves may still be strong, but the coordination between the brain and those muscles has become less responsive.

This is one reason researchers increasingly focus on what they call neuromuscular responsiveness when studying mobility and aging. The body’s ability to react quickly and coordinate stabilizing muscles often determines whether someone moves confidently or cautiously.

And like many systems in the body, this responsiveness depends on stimulation.

When movement challenges the body’s balance systems — when stabilizing muscles activate reflexively and the nervous system has to coordinate those adjustments — the system stays sharp.

But when those signals become less frequent, the feedback loop grows quieter.

This is where certain forms of mechanical stimulation become interesting.

The sensory receptors responsible for balance respond directly to physical forces such as pressure, stretch, and vibration. When these receptors are stimulated, they send rapid signals to the nervous system that activate stabilizing muscles and reinforce the body’s awareness of position and movement.

Power Plate’s precision 3-dimensional vibration technology was originally developed to stimulate exactly this kind of neuromuscular activity. In Olympic and professional athletes. The same stimulus that makes a speed skater win a gold medal, can help keep someone on their feet when a movement challenge happens. (Which is does to ALL of us!)

The platform produces small, rapid mechanical signals that trigger reflexive muscle contractions throughout the body, engaging the stabilizing muscles that help control posture and balance.

Unlike simple linear or “teeter-totter” vibration devices that push the body in exaggerated directions, Power Plate’s controlled multi-directional movement produces tiny micro-adjustments that the nervous system interprets as balance challenges.

The body responds the way it was designed to respond: by activating stabilizing muscles and coordinating movement through the nervous system.

Over time, research on whole-body vibration has shown improvements in several factors closely related to mobility and fall prevention, including balance, postural control, and neuromuscular coordination.

Which brings us back to a point most people never think about.

Balance isn’t simply about strong legs.

It’s about a fast and responsive conversation between the brain and the body.

And maintaining that conversation may be one of the most important factors in how confidently we move through the world.

Power Plate helps to quickly reconnect the brain and the body. Keeping you on your feet. This is why access to a Power Plate is a MUST have for us as we get older.

A treamill, stairclimber or exercise bike is not going to help us here.

Most people think balance is a matter of strength. If your legs are strong enough, the logic goes, you’ll stay steady. If they aren’t, you won’t. But researchers who study mobility and fall prevention have discovered that strength is only part of the story. In many cases, the real issue has le...

The ability to move confidently through the world — stepping off curbs, walking on uneven ground, catching yourself when you stumble — depends on a quiet sensory system working in the background.

Researchers call that system proprioception.

But most people experience it more simply.

It’s the sense that keeps you steady on your feet.

Professional athletes understand this system very well, even if they don’t always use the scientific word for it.

Elite training programs spend enormous amounts of time improving reflexes, coordination, and the body’s ability to react instantly to changes in balance and position.

A tennis player adjusting to a sudden change of direction, a skier stabilizing on uneven terrain, or a basketball player landing after a jump are all relying on the same proprioceptive system that keeps people from falling on a sidewalk.

In fact, improving these reflexive stabilization systems was one of the original reasons vibration platforms like Power Plate were developed—to help Olympic and professional athletes train the neuromuscular responsiveness that makes fast, controlled movement possible. (!!)

What began as a performance tool for elite athletes turns out to have a much broader application: the exact same systems that allow athletes to move faster and react more quickly are the ones that help the rest of us stay steady and confident on our feet as we get older.

Most people think balance is something you either have or you don’t. Some people are naturally steady on their feet. Others are a little clumsy. And as people get older, the common assumption is that balance simply fades with time. But researchers who study movement and fall prevention see somethi...

If you had to prioritise just one strength movement, the deadlift would be a strong contender. 💪

It underpins so many everyday actions, teaching the body how to hinge effectively at the hips while building strength through the glutes, hamstrings and posterior chain. A well executed deadlift supports posture, coordination and long term resilience.

In this session, Master Trainer Laura Wilson explores multiple deadlift variations on Power Plate, including kickstand, floating, sumo, single leg and wide stance Romanian options. Using a kettlebell keeps the movement accessible, whilst whole body vibration can help increase muscle engagement and challenge balance throughout each repetition.

One fundamental pattern. Countless ways to build strength. 🔥

Most people assume that when someone falls, it’s because they lost their balance.

That’s the visible part, the part you can narrate in real time—heel catches, torso pitches, gravity does what it always does. But if you watch the mechanics of an actual fall closely—if you slow it down to the human scale at which bodies make decisions—another story starts to emerge.

The moment that matters isn’t the moment balance is lost.

The moment that matters is the split second after.

It’s the interval so brief it barely registers as an interval at all: the instant in which the body either finds a way to reorganize itself, or fails to do so in time. The body doesn’t negotiate with the curb. It doesn’t debate the stair. It doesn’t convene a committee. It either reacts quickly enough to stabilize, or it doesn’t—and then the fall, which looked inevitable a second earlier, becomes either a non-event or a trip to the urgent care.

Everyone has seen that hinge of time, even if they’ve never named it.

Someone catches the edge of a curb. Someone misjudges a stair. Someone steps onto uneven pavement that wasn’t uneven in the way their eyes predicted. For a fraction of a second the body tilts forward, and then one of two things happens. Either the body reacts instantly—a foot shoots out, the hips tighten, the trunk stiffens, the arms counterbalance, the system finds its center again—or the reaction arrives a beat too late, as if the message got lost on the way to the muscles.

Researchers who study mobility and fall prevention pay obsessive attention to this sliver of time because it reveals something about how the body actually stays upright. Most falls aren’t simply about weakness. They are about timing. They are about the speed and coordination with which the nervous system and the muscles respond to an unexpected change in stability—how quickly the body can mount a correction before momentum becomes a verdict.

The human organism is built for this. It carries, everywhere, a kind of surveillance network: sensors embedded in muscles and tendons, feedback loops running through joints, tiny biological instruments that monitor position, pressure, and stretch with more fidelity than conscious awareness ever could.

When something shifts—when the ankle rolls a degree too far or the foot lands where it didn’t expect to land—those sensors send a burst of information upward. The nervous system answers with reflexive contractions in the stabilizing muscles of the legs, hips, and core. This is not willpower. It’s not even “trying.” It’s something older than intention, a fast, automatic choreography designed to prevent a stumble from becoming a fall.

When it works, it works with a kind of quiet elegance. The recovery happens before the mind fully registers what almost happened.

But like every system in the body, this one can degrade—not dramatically, not with a single, cinematic turning point, but subtly, as a matter of responsiveness. Researchers studying aging often see the same pattern: people don’t suddenly become unable to move. Instead, the body gradually becomes less reactive. Reaction times lengthen. Stabilizing muscles activate a little more slowly. Movements grow careful and deliberate, not because the person has suddenly become timid, but because the system underneath has started to lag.

And then something else appears—not as a diagnosis but as a behavior.

People begin to move through the world differently. They shorten their stride. They slow down. They look for railings where they never looked before. They hesitate before stepping off a curb. They take stairs as if negotiating with them. They carry their body in a way that signals caution long before any fall occurs.

In other words, they begin to protect themselves from a problem they can’t quite articulate: the possibility that their body might not answer quickly enough when it needs to.

This is one reason researchers measure things like gait speed, balance recovery, and reaction time when they study mobility and independence. These aren’t just tests of “strength,” in the gym sense of the word. They’re tests of the body’s readiness—its ability to stabilize itself under surprise, to manage the small shocks of real life. Strength matters, of course. But responsiveness is what turns strength into safety.

Which brings us to an idea that is both mundane and, in its implications, slightly unsettling: movement is not just a behavior. Movement is a signal.

When muscles contract rapidly, when stabilizing muscles fire reflexively, when the body is asked—repeatedly—to adapt to small changes in balance, the nervous system is not simply “getting exercise.” It is rehearsing. It is updating. It is keeping the circuitry awake. But when those signals become infrequent—when we spend long periods sitting, moving slowly, or avoiding situations that challenge balance—the reflex systems can quiet down. Not disappear, exactly. But soften. Become less crisp. Less immediate.

This is one reason some researchers have shown interest in forms of mechanical stimulation that activate reflex systems directly—methods that, in effect, force the body to practice responding without requiring the person to go chase instability out in the world.

Whole-body vibration platforms are one of these interventions. The basic mechanism is straightforward: rapid mechanical signals stimulate receptors in muscle and tendon, provoking reflexive contractions—what physiologists often describe as a vibration-induced reflex response. The effect, at least in theory, is that the body has to keep adjusting. Small shifts in vibration produce small, repeated demands for stabilization. Muscles engage. Postural systems wake up. The nervous system is made to practice the act of maintaining order in the face of tiny disturbances.

But here is where the details start to matter, because “vibration” is one of those words that sounds simple until you ask what it actually means in the body.

Not all vibration platforms are built on the same physics. Some of the cheaper devices on the market produce what is essentially a linear teeter-totter motion—an up-and-down rocking that pivots around a central axis. It can feel dramatic, the way a shaky bridge feels dramatic, but the drama isn’t the point. The point is whether the signal being delivered is controlled, distributed, and aligned with how the body naturally stabilizes.

A teeter-totter plate often creates an uneven, see-saw loading pattern. One side rises as the other falls, repeatedly, which can drive compensations through the pelvis and lumbar spine—especially if someone already has tight hips, limited ankle mobility, or any history of low-back sensitivity. Instead of the body being asked to stabilize in a coherent way, it can be forced into a repetitive asymmetry: a subtle twisting through the trunk, an alternating shear that the lower back has to absorb. For some people it’s merely uncomfortable. For others, especially when the amplitude is high and the body is not well positioned, it can be aggravating.

Power Plate’s approach is different in a way that matters mechanically.

The platform is built around what you’ve described as tri-planar, three-dimensional technology: a controlled multi-directional micro-oscillation rather than a single-axis rocking. The practical implication is that the stimulus is designed to be more evenly distributed through the body, asking stabilizing muscles to respond in a way that resembles real balance correction—small, rapid, multi-vector adjustments—rather than forcing the skeleton into a repetitive left-right lever.

It’s the difference between training the body to handle the real world, where instability rarely arrives along a neat single line, and training the body on a mechanical trick that produces a lot of motion without much intelligence.

This is why you’ll hear the phrase “controlled” come up again and again when people talk about high-quality whole-body vibration. The objective isn’t to shake the body for the sake of shaking it. The objective is to deliver a signal that the neuromuscular system can interpret and respond to—cleanly, safely, repeatably—so that the reflex circuitry becomes sharper rather than more guarded.

When the signal is coherent, the body learns. Stabilizers wake up. Postural reflexes get rehearsed. Reaction timing improves, not because you consciously practice “reacting faster,” but because the circuitry beneath consciousness has been forced to fire again and again in a tight, controlled loop.

And that returns us to the moment that determines whether someone catches themselves or falls.

The body doesn’t have minutes to respond. It has fractions of a second. The outcome is decided not by what we wish the body could do, but by what it has been practicing—by whether the muscles, nerves, and stabilizing reflexes are still responsive enough to mount a correction before gravity finishes the sentence.

Because the difference between losing your balance and falling isn’t simply strength.

Very often, it’s how quickly your body reacts when balance shifts—and whether the signal you’ve been feeding your body is actually teaching it to stabilize, or simply teaching it to brace.

Most people assume that when someone falls, it’s because they lost their balance. That’s the visible part, the part you can narrate in real time—heel catches, torso pitches, gravity does what it always does. But if you watch the mechanics of an actual fall closely—if you slow it down to the ...

Most people tend to associate aging with visible markers: wrinkles, graying hair, or the morning stiffness that makes rising from a chair a deliberate act.

Yet researchers who study longevity, functional independence, and the biology of aging often focus on a far simpler measure: how quickly someone walks.

Known in clinical studies as gait speed, this metric has emerged over the past two decades as one of the strongest predictors of future health outcomes. Repeatedly, investigations have shown that the pace at which a person covers even a short distance—sometimes just a few meters—can forecast risks years in advance.

Those who sustain a brisk, steady walking speed are more likely to remain independent longer, suffer fewer falls, preserve muscle and bone strength, and maintain sharper nervous system responses. In population-level studies, they also tend to live longer.

At first glance, the connection can seem improbable. How could something as mundane as walking pace reveal so much about the body’s inner workings?

The explanation lies in what gait speed actually represents: an integrated snapshot of multiple physiological systems operating in concert.

It reflects the health not only of the legs but of the muscles, nervous system, vestibular balance mechanisms, reaction times, cardiovascular circulation, and overall coordination.

When these systems function effectively, the result is what observers intuitively recognize as a confident stride: rising swiftly from a seat, crossing a street without hesitation, ascending stairs fluidly, and recovering quickly from a misstep.

But when even subtle declines begin—perhaps in neural signaling, muscle responsiveness, or circulatory efficiency—the changes manifest first in movement. Strides shorten. Caution increases. A subtle fragility emerges.

Studies of aging now indicate that this slowdown often precedes more overt signs of decline, such as chronic disease or disability. Movement, in essence, serves as an early barometer of systemic health.

This is why gait speed has become a key marker in gerontology and clinical research.

It also underscores a fundamental aspect of human physiology: the body is as much a mechanical system as a chemical one. Every adjustment to balance, every rapid neural command to stabilize posture, every muscular contraction to maintain uprightness constitutes an ongoing dialogue between brain, nerves, and muscles.

As long as that dialogue remains vigorous, speed, stability, and confidence persist. When it quiets, vitality erodes.

Increasingly, researchers are exploring interventions that directly stimulate these mechanical pathways. One leading approach involves controlled mechanical vibration, as delivered by precision platforms from Power Plate.

Unlike simpler devices that rely on basic piston-driven up-and-down motion, Power Plate’s patented technology produces true three-dimensional (tri-planar) whole-body vibration—oscillating in multiple directions (up/down, side-to-side, and front/back) simultaneously.

This measurable 3D movement elicits a complete reflexive neuromuscular response, engaging stabilizing muscles, the nervous system, and postural control mechanisms across the body more effectively than conventional exercises or linear vibration systems.

Widely regarded as the gold standard in clinical rehabilitation, physical therapy settings, and professional sports—where it is used by a majority of top teams in football, baseball, basketball, and beyond—Power Plate platforms deliver targeted activation that goes beyond traditional training.

Vogue magazine recently described it as the Rolls-Royce of vibration plates, underscoring its precision and efficacy.

The outcome extends beyond traditional strength training: it amounts to heightened activation of the very systems that underpin balance, coordination, and swift reaction—factors central to gait speed and fall prevention.

Research on whole-body vibration has documented gains in related domains, including postural stability, muscle activation, functional mobility, and reaction time—elements that collectively influence how confidently and safely a person navigates daily life.

This returns us to the deceptively straightforward metric that continues to draw scientific attention: walking speed.

Most assume that slowing with age is inevitable. Yet evidence increasingly suggests otherwise. The pace of one’s gait offers a direct reflection of whether the body’s integrated mechanical systems remain responsive and resilient.

Clinicians may term it gait speed. To the rest of us, it appears more plainly: the contrast between a fragile step and one that conveys energy, steadiness, and assurance.

Preserving that quality may rank among the most telling indicators of enduring health.

In the end, the clearest evidence of how well the body endures is rarely confined to laboratory results or bloodwork. It reveals itself daily in something far more elemental: the confidence with which one walks through the world.

A big idea with Power Plate is that the energy produced by the platform flows evenly (measurably so) throughout your body.

Not only does this turn on your biology- it also turns your entire body into a delivery mechanism for nutrients.

All nutrients, and the flow is in all directions.

"Down" into cellular structures and then "up" into your different skin layers.

When it comes to skin health itself-- and even how your skin looks-- Power Plate changes the equation entirely.

If you've been around the skin care discussion at a high level, you are familiar with the basic structure of modern "advanced" formulation.

Botanicals.. Peptides. Vitamin C (which we all know supports collagen formation.)

Retinoids (vitamin A derivatives) accelerate cell turnover. Vitamin E defends against oxidation.

Even the most expensive skin care follows this basic structure. High levels of the right nutrients in the diet also matter tremendously.

==>> However, none of this matters unless these Ingredients reach the living cells that use them.

Power Plate is THE MISSING LINK in any elite level skin care routine:

When you stand on a Power Plate.Blood flow surges.

Studies show whole-body vibration markedly increases skin blood flow and nitric oxide production, dilating vessels and enhancing microcirculation.

==>> This mechanical stimulus propagates outward through connective tissue to the dermis and basal layer, where new skin cells form.

Your skin never stops renewing, and this requires a steady source of all the right nutrients.

In the basal layer, new keratinocytes emerge every 10–30 days (slower with age, but ongoing even past 80).

All of this is connected. A properly nourished WHOLE body that also has the right flow of energy is going to be healthy.

Skin that looks good at any age is healthy skin. Power Plate is an essential part of this equation.

This is why every home, every office needs a Power Plate. The key to the benefit is that it be harmonic and whole body. ONLY Power Plate delivers this.

How To Teach a Friend, Patient Or Client About Power Plate:

Over 20,000 research studies have been published on Whole Body Vibration. In recent years most of the research is conducted on Power Plates. Studies are being conducted on Power Plates because we've become the global standard in Whole Body Vibration.

So there's a lot that can be written, literally a large book, on all the ins and outs of how Power Plate benefits people.

One of the primary ways that Power Plate helps people, is that it helps people experience the benefits of exercise, even intense exercise, especially when they are not able to move well.

Because each Power Plate vibrates on average 30 times a second (comfortably) this creates a reflex response in the muscles. 30 vibrations per second equal 30 muscle contractions. Each muscle contraction pulls on connected bone-- enough to generate new bone building cells and proteins!

For athletes and active people, Power Plate helps people warm up, perform and recover. Power Plate began as a tool to help elite athletes perform better than other elite athletes.

The 30 vibrations per second move through the muscles, through the tendons and ligaments. Into the central nervous system. Eye- hand coordination improves, flexibility improves, ability to perform without injury improves.

The same technology is now used to help people of all ages recover their ability to move, be flexible and regain their athletic nature.

The people who most need the health benefits of exercise are not able to exercise. There's no exercise pill.

Power Plate is the closest thing that exists to an exercise pill and it quite literally solves the problem of people who need exercise, but are unable to do it.

The unique power of Power Plate comes from the engine itself. There are cheaper whole body vibration machines out there that work with teeter totter technology.

How this works: two pistons move up and down and shake a board. This shakes a person.

This can be somewhat effective, but it's incredibly uncomfortable. It's the difference between riding in a motorboat on choppy water vs smooth early morning water.

What made Power Plate the gold global standard, was a unique and multi-patented engine that moves in three dimensions at once. The engine is advanced, and is expensive and time consuming to manufacture.

How this works: If you can visualize a machine that when in motion moves almost in a sphere, pushing out in all directions simultaneously at once. The key to this multi-dimensional movement is that it creates harmonic vibration.

These harmonic waves are very comfortable for people to absorb and use. The different wave intensities from a Power Plate are powerful and a person can only comfortably absorb this power if it's comfortable.

Power Plate became Power Plate because of this ability to deliver very consistent, harmonic vibration.

These waves are so consistent that when you measure them, they appear as sine waves that you can actually see on an ultrasound machine.

When you have somebody step on a Power Plate, and you turn it on at 30 Hz, 30 vibrations per second, that's going to trigger a reflex response in the body.

That's going to trigger the muscles to contract at 30 times per second. That energy is going to flow through the tendons, helping them to loosen up and muscle is connected to bone, so bones are going to get stimulated at the exact ratio that muscle is.

And this is the key to the whole thing, when muscle is activated 30 times a second, that starts to really work the muscle, and bring it to life. Even the best athlete can't do that themselves.

Then those 30 vibrations per second are going to flow through the tendons, which help to loosen them up. Remember that it's easy to massage a muscle, but you can't easily or comfortably massage a tendon.

1. So, there's an immediate metabolic benefit from using a Power Plate. Just by standing on it you stimulate the muscle and you open up the cells to absorb insulin for example.

When cells are able to use more sugar for energy, you almost instantly solve metabolic problems. Sugar gets used as energy instead of being stored as fat.

There is new research out from Japan, showing how even the simplest movements on a Power Plate, consistently used for six weeks, can almost permanently alter somebody's metabolic health.

The metabolic benefit is a huge motivating factor for people to start the Power Plate habit. With these really destructive alternatives out there, Power Plate becomes the most humane way of helping somebody lose weight, by meeting them where they are. Power Plate combined with resistance training and smart nutrition is likely the best long term metabolic fitness strategy for many people.

The key to behavior modification is that the modifications need to be doable.

Power Plate forms an almost essential component to any long-term behavior modification program that leads to lasting fat loss and metabolic health.

Power Plate is easy to use for almost everyone who can stand. This cannot be understated. As long as somebody can stand on a Power Plate for nine minutes at a time, and do some simple, up-and-down movement with their legs and body. they can start to experience the benefit.

2. The second big thing that Power Plate helps people with is whole body chronic pain. From a clinical standpoint, chronic pain is the number one problem in the healthcare system that there is no easily identifiable solution for.

With chronic pain, Power Plate helps to provide both immediate and long-term benefit. This makes people feel better quickly, which enables compliance, and make it easy to build the habit.

As we have mentioned, when somebody steps on a Power Plate those vibrations go through the body 30 times a second. The harmonic vibrations are going into the tendons, and helping to loosen them up.

Tendons are composed of intricate collagen strands. Vibration loosens these up and people can experience some relief quickly, because when the tendons relax, the muscles can often relax. Tendon and muscle work hand-in-hand.

The 30 vibrations every second also help to overwhelm the pain signals in the central nervous system, interrupting them for a period of time. Vibrations will help to interrupt the pain signals from the brain to the body.

Nearly everyone with long-term chronic pain can benefit from regular whole body vibration use, and one of the most basic ways of helping people is having them "put their pain on the plate."

3. The third major benefit of Power Plate is with bone. As muscle gets stronger, bone gets stronger at almost the exact ratio for many people.

The intense harmonic vibrations are enough to stimulate new bone growth. This has been well documented in research studies. Consistent Power Plate use increases bone density, especially over time.

This has been measured with DEXA scans. It's not uncommon for people who have used Power Plate for a couple years to have their bone density return to what it was decades earlier.

The other very powerful side benefit of standing on a Power Plate for nine minutes three to four times a week is that balance improves. If somebody has better balance and stronger bones, their odds of falling down, breaking something, and having a catastrophic outcome are much lower.

When it comes to osteoporosis prevention and recovery, generating impact is at the root of everything. If you look at the medical literature, things like running, jumping, dancing, tennis, these all help to stimulate the bone to stay strong and become stronger.

But what if you can't move your body that quickly to generate the necessary impact?

Again, that's where Power Plate provides a very unique value.

4. The fourth big area that Power Plate helps with is in the area of brain health. There is a lot of new research that keeps coming out that shows the direct link between Power Plate and brain health.

When somebody walks or runs, their foot strikes the ground. This helps to push blood through the arteries up through the body and into the brain.

This delivers oxygen and nutrients and all sorts of great stuff, which keeps our brains healthy and sharp. Additionally, when your muscles are activated, this helps to keep the brain active, helping prevent cognitive decline.

But again, what happens when you can't move so well as you get older, and you're not able to generate the impact to push the blood into your brain?

There's been some very interesting new research out of Japan, conducted on Power Plate Pro5 machines, which actually shows the impact of the brain when somebody is standing on a Power Plate.

Using MRI technology, the Japanese researchers were able to show an immediate increase in blood flow all the way to the prefrontal cortex.

And not only did the benefit happen immediately, but there was also long-term brain benefit with long-term use, because with the 30 vibrations every second, you're going to move a lot more blood throughout your body.

5. The benefits keep extending from there. There's also a lot of research that links whole body vibration use to significantly increased levels of natural growth hormone in the body.

Again, intense exercise and intense physical activity helps generate growth hormone, which in turn generates stem cell activation. This helps to turn on all the key longevity hormones, increases collagen, and tells your body to get back to work. Often the way it did decades esrlier.

Nitric oxide production increases, heart health can increase, skin tightness can increase with increased collagen production.

There is very clear literature linking increases in natural growth hormone to increased internal collagen production.

The benefits of Power Plate are almost endless, because it's simply a delivery mechanism for therapeutic doses of exercise.

Nobody needs to be convinced that exercise is highly therapeutic. Teaching people the Power Plate habit, whether they use it in your clinic, business, gym, or at home, that's going to be a valuable addition to their life.

A big idea with Power Plate is that the energy produced by the platform flows evenly (measurably so) throughout your body. Not only does this turn on your biology- it also turns your entire body into a delivery mechanism for nutrients. All nutrients, and the flow is in all directions.
