Articles in Magazines, TV Shows

The following articles were on TV, in Magazines, Trade Journals, Presentations and Thesis presentations on the Whole Body Vibration exercises and therapy treatments. The pages listed here are provided for general information only. They are typically easier to read than the scientific studies. Here are examples of published science, supporting some of Whole Body Vibration technology and claims, including enhanced muscle strength, bone density, hormonal release/circulation and pain reduction. This list while being large is not exhaustive of the subject. All exercise carries with it some element of risk. To reduce the risk, everyone, particularly those over 35 or who have known back, heart or blood pressure problems or any other medical illness or problem should be cleared by a physician before beginning any exercise program. !
