PNEU-WEIGHT: An offloading device with one, two or three stations that allow the patient to perform low-impact kinetic exercises in an upright functional position. |  |
|
PNEU-VEST: Comes in three versions each designed for a specific use, but, all sharing the same capabilities for gait correction and worry free unweighted activities. Unisex design fits both male and female equally well and elastic gait straps can be attached to the legs to assigs in gait correction. |  |

The Benefits of Vibration: The following is a list of the physiological and neuromuscular benefits that are unique to vibration. If you analyze the research you will understand why vibration training is being accepted by major medical, rehabilitation and therapeutic centers across the country. You do not have to change your exercise routine; you simply can adjust it and do less with better results. Involuntary muscle contraction causes a chain reaction of positive events to our bodies.
- Increase in resting metabolic rate
- Improved bone density
- Improved balance
- Improve muscle strength and performance
- Increase flexibility and range of motion
- Enhance critical blood flow throughout the body (oxygenation and lymph drainage)
- Increase of the “happiness” hormone serotonin and neurotrophine, a substance that supports our thinking process
- Increase production of HIGH (Human Growth Hormone) by up to 360%
- Increase production of testosterone by up to 7%
- Decrease cortisol levels by up to 32%
- Rehabilitate injuries and ailments
- Enhance explosive strength
- Enhance conventional training results
- Speed training recovery
- Accelerate weight loss
- Enhance pain reduction
- Improve collagen production
- Reduce appearance of cellulite
- Eliminate the effects of stress
- General toning
How Vibration Works
We already know that the body adapts to the stress we put on it, and vibration adds more variables for our bodies to adapt to. Because of involuntary muscle contractions, we are actually exercising without doing anything when placing part of our body on a vibration platform. If we exercise while on that platform, our result will increase tremendously. When you place any part of your body on a vibration platform, the muscles, which are vibrating, react to this stimulus and produce an involuntary muscle contraction. These contractions set into play a series of events.This mechanical stimulus produces a stretch reflex which, depending on the selected frequency, results in muscles contracting 10 to 60 times per second or 1000 to 3600 times per minute.Vibration training increases the production of regenerative and repair hormones, improves blood circulation, strengthens bone tissue, improves lymph drainage and increases basal metabolic rate. This results in more strength, more speed, more stamina, rapid recovery of muscles and tissue, increased flexibility, mobility and coordination, improved collagen production, and fat reduction. Many of the leading experts in the health and fitness industry feel that vibration training is going to change everything we do in rehabilitation and performance training.
