The patented vibration technology used by the Relaxology Weight Loss Board was originally developed from NASA in correspondence to the loss of bone and muscle tissue that most astronauts experienced after spending time in zero-gravity domains. It has been researched that whole body vibration increases not only muscle mass, but as well as bone density too. When a person is engaged in any activity involving repetitive motions, much like running or swimming, the muscle fibers are forced to contract and relax as they alternate, which simulates a gravitational pull causing the muscle to work with and against the vibration. This process improves muscle strength, stimulates bone growth, and increases circulation of blood to the entire body.Shake It Up! Fat and Waste are gone. No Pain, Bone Gain! Relaxology Weight Loss Board can also be used by those who have a difficult time standing or are unable to stand. As we age, our bones can lose density due to lack of physical activity, genetic factors, or both, often lead to osteoporosis, which is a condition in which bones become brittle and weak. Many times, health or certain disabilities, make it difficult for the elderly to engage in regular exercise. The Relaxology Weight Loss Board provides an easy workout that can develop muscle mass and bone density without exerting oneself. Just stand on the vibration plate for only 10 minutes at a time, up to 2 or 3 times per day and let the whole body vibration do all the work for you. Those who find it difficult to stand can sit on the plate and still receive whole body vibration workout as well.
