Comments on: Whole Body Vibration Therapy and the Central Nervous System http://www.vibrationtraining.net/2009/04/whole-body-vibration-therapy-and-the-central-nervous-system/ All about the vibration machine, vibration plate and power plate industry.

Dr. Pat Jacobs (now dept head at FAU) et al. were the first to look at vibration with the Miami Project as far as I know. I spoke with Jacobs at a conference in 03. He was interested in vibration but still skeptical. Shortly after that, they did a pilot study. I saw him and a colleague of his at the time at a conference in 03 and they both acted excited about vibration. Jacobs, in 03, mentioned to me Galileo had the most good research done on it - and that's what Jacobs et al. ended up using in their first pilot study shortly after that.

These results, even though seemingly applicable to a specific poulation, are the most impressive results yet. I would imagine that they will create quite abit of momentum on the need to research this further. I still want to know what type of platform was used for this study though.

They used vibration 3 x week for a month. So, if people have the ability to move it appears vibration treatments augment their ability to walk and function.

As far as the references to WBV, I am aware of the need to avoid that term as much as possible and am trying hard to do just that in these articles, but sometimes it just flows better vs. "vibration training and therapy". For the purposes of the article, the subtle slips here and there go mostly unnoticed I would imagine...except for John of course :-). Funny Lloyd!

Yes the term WBV is still being used, but I am trying hard to get that changed. I do not believe the academics understand how important that is yet. Gabriel... Regarding the psychic abilities....

Gabriel…

Regarding the psychic abilities….

I see dead people.

At my mortuary, does that count ?

One thing I do believe is the term whole body vibration (wbv) is used erroneously in association with vibration training. For example, a squat pose held on a vibration platform is frequently called wbv - yet the waves are dampened as they move up the body. Perhaps a small insignificant terminology problem, but it seems to confuse people to me. Again, excellent article Gabriel.

I have never felt more organized than the following hours after running through the program. Even though I added some humor to the stories of enhanced psychic abilities, I would have to imagine that it is probably the same mechanism. Definately a reflection of central nervous system activity, but the neurophysiological process, I would imagine, is quite complex. More fuel for future research. I completely agree.

It is almost like the chicken or the egg, you end up asking yourself... "would I have had that thought normally" It is so hard to tell if you imagine it or not, but some thought processes seem to become very clear after I started Vibration Training.

“would I have had that thought normally”
