Neuromuscular Reflexes<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>When you stand or exercise on a Vibration Platform, the vibration causes your muscles to contract involuntarily.<\/p>\n<p>This is called Ia-afferent activation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The vibration wakes up small nerve endings (spindles) in your muscles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The plate&#8217;s stimulation lowers a protective reflex called co-contraction, which occurs when muscles on both sides of a joint contract simultaneously.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Vibration Therapy helps ease that extra muscle tension, allowing your joints to move more freely and comfortably, thereby taking some of the pressure off arthritic joints.<\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Micro-Circulation Boost<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Quick question: what actually makes <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/body\/23173-cartilage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cartilage<\/a> healthy?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Well, an important factor is good nutrient delivery, which comes through the surrounding joint fluid and blood flow, since it has no blood vessels of its own.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Vibration Therapy enhances local blood flow, stimulating the release of nitric oxide\u2014a molecule that helps widen blood vessels.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Better circulation enables your joints to get more of the nutrients and oxygen they need. That&#8217;s key to keeping tissues healthy and helping them repair.<\/p>\n<h3><b>3.
