Full Body Vibration Therapy
What is it?
​
Full Body Vibration (FBV) is a therapy that uses a vibrating platform (plate) to stimulate muscle contractions and circulation throughout the body. At Revive, FBV is offered as an add-on service to complement infrared sauna and red light therapy. Each 10-minute session helps reduce inflammation, support lymphatic movement, and enhance recovery.
What’s a Vibration Plate?
​
Imagine standing on a platform that vibrates so rapidly your muscles contract up to 30 times per second—without you having to move. That’s a vibration plate, also known as whole-body vibration (WBV). It was originally developed for astronauts to combat bone density loss in space and has since become a popular tool for wellness and recovery.
How It Works
​
The vibration plate sends gentle mechanical vibrations through the body, causing muscles to contract up to 30 times per second. These rapid contractions help activate deep stabilizing muscles, boost circulation, support your body’s natural drainage system, and may even strengthen bones. It’s a simple, low-impact way to get big benefits in a short time.
Key Benefits​
​​
Lymphatic System Support
The lymphatic system has no natural pump like the heart—it relies on movement to function. Vibration plates provide passive motion that mimics walking and muscle contractions, helping lymph fluid flow more effectively.
​
Bone Density Support
Research suggests vibration therapy may help preserve bone mineral density, particularly in postmenopausal women.
​
Improved Balance and Mobility
Gentle yet effective, FBV can improve stability and gait for older adults or those recovering from injury.​​
​
Vibration sessions may help:
-
Reduce fluid retention
-
Ease inflammation
-
Support immune function
-
Accelerate recovery after surgery or injury
​​
Think of it as a jumpstart for your body’s drainage system.
How to Use a Vibration Plate Safely​
-
Begin with 1–2 minutes at a low frequency
-
Gradually build up to 10–15 minutes per session
-
Try different positions: stand, squat, stretch, or place your feet while seated
-
Stay hydrated to help flush out toxins released during the session
-
Use 3–5 times per week for best results
​​
Caution: Avoid use if you are pregnant, have deep vein thrombosis, or a pacemaker. Always check with your healthcare provider if you have health concerns.
