The TurboSonic® is the only Whole-Body Vibration Training piece of equipment registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as an Approved Medical Exerciser and Vibration Therapy Device (registration number 890.5380). CPT codes cover neuromuscular re-education of movement, balance coordination, kinesthetic sense, posture and proprioception; therapeutic exercises to develop strength and endurance, range of motion, and flexibility.
TurboSonic® - Sonic Whole Body Vibration (SWBV) is an advanced patented technology that is used by major medical, rehabilitation, therapeutic centers, senior centers, spas and gyms across the country and around the world.
The therapy consists of standing upright on a TurboSonic® platform that produces sonic vertical vibrations from 3Hz to 50Hz with variations of amplitude from zero to 100. These sonic vibrations are transferred to your body, stimulating absolutely every part of your body, from your cells to the blood vessels, your organs and muscles.
These muscle contractions stimulate a dramatic increase in critical blood flow to joints and their connective tissues throughout the body. The result is reduced muscle/tendon/joint-related pain with an increase in bone/muscle mass, strength and flexibility.
The vibration emanating from the pedestal and conducted throughout the body stimulates muscle fibers (myocytes) with three times the strength of gravity. This causes the muscle fibers to contract and relax with greater strength and speed. These powerful muscle contractions, when repeated with the frequency seen in WBV exercise, enhance muscle strength over a shorter period of time than is feasible with any other form of muscle training.
In addition, blood vessels throughout the body are stimulated and circulation is improved. Furthermore, tendons and ligaments, (parts of the body not easily trained) become better toned. The function of intra-pelvic muscles and small muscle groups, such as facial muscles, (which cannot be strengthened through conventional weight training exercises) are improved. Exercise involving vibration in the vertical direction also causes greater caloric consumption than does regular aerobic exercise.
Whole Body Vibration exercise, in conjunction with conventional muscle exercise, can increase maximum muscle strength by over 30 percent. It can also reduce the period of training required by 85 percent and time spent exercising by over 50 percent. Moreover, unlike in conventional muscle training methods involving the lifting of weights, little additional load is imposed on joints, ligaments, and tendons in WBV exercise. Consequently, the risk of exercise-induced injury is reduced to a negligible level.
TurboSonic is a revolutionary piece of exercise equipment developed with optimal application of these theories to yield maximum results in minimal time.
Using the TurboSonic stimulates the same effect of regular aerobic exercises and can accomplish a maximum effect of exercise with a minimum amount of time, compared to other exercise methods.
