Whole Body Vibration
Ready to Transform Your Child’s Therapy Journey?
Discover a new world of therapeutic benefits with Whole Body Vibration (WBV) at Family First Therapy. The perfect tool to use in combination with our occupation and physical therapy to enhance balance, strength, and overall well-being.
What is Whole Body Vibration?
Whole Body Vibration (WBV) involves standing, sitting, or lying on a platform that vibrates to stimulate sensory receptors. This stimulation promotes neuromuscular activation, providing a complementary boost to conventional therapies.
Our occupational and physical therapists incorporate the use of whole body vibration throughout their sessions and during targeted exercises with clients.
How It Works
- Low Frequencies Facilitate muscle contractions to stabilize and improve balance and proprioception.
- Mid Frequencies Enhance blood flow and lymphatic drainage, aiding circulation and swelling reduction.
- High Frequencies Induce involuntary reflexive muscle contractions, helping to decrease spasticity and regulate muscle tone.
