Sonic Whole Body Vibration


Turbosonic ® – Sonic Whole Body Vibration 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 1 – 100.

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.

“As a physical therapist, I have utilized whole body vibration treatments for over a decade, primarily to build bone density in the treatment of osteoporosis. I was not aware of the other benefits of WBV and I admit I was skeptical. After using TurboSonic® for 4 weeks, I am impressed. I believe it aids in the elimination of lactic acid, strengthens the intrinsic muscles of the pelvis, face and neck. I use it to strengthen the knees and quads for snowboarding.”
