VERY
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT WHOLE BODY
VIBRATION:
There are two
types of technology available: The difference is
substantial between the “piston” vibration equipment and
the Triangle Oscillation System (T.O.S.). Our physicians
have found that while the T.O.S. technology used in Whole
Body Vibration (WBV) has surprising and astonishing results
for health, exercise and body toning, there are questions
raised about the advisability of using equipment based on
“piston” style technology. Vibration and “G” force may have
an undesirable a long term impact. Anyone who has used a
jack hammer, truck or other device with the “up and down”
piston movement and vibration knows the problems that can
develop from backs (truck drivers and others) and various
physical areas (known to cause carpal tunnel).
The Triangle Oscillation System (T.O.S.) vibrates at the
correct megahertz(s) from a medical and body toning
standpoint, using a lift mechanism along with vibration.
The T.O.S. system used by the Nobel K-1 Platinum generates
systematic involuntary muscle contraction with less G force
than the “piston” systems. This stimulates receptors in the
Achilles tendon called golgi bodies that stimulate nerve
receptors which track up to the cerebellum (the part of the
brain that is responsible for balance). This pleasant
rocking and rolling action causes the brain to tell the
muscles of your body to actively contract to maintain its
equilibrium, thus creating a therapeutic and muscle toning
workout.
RECENT INFORMATION AND HISTORY ABOUT
T.O.S.:
The physicians
in our medical facility became interested last year in the
reports we had received about Whole Body Vibration and the
scientific papers being published on WBV. We were
interested to learn if WBV lived up to its “hype” and to
evaluate the potential for use in treatments such as
physician supervised diet, cellulite, etc.
The WBV equipment being offered in Canada and the US at
that time were being sold for as much as $9,500.00 and
$15,000.00. This would exclude the individuals who might
most benefit from WBV. The next and most important thing we
wanted to consider was the safety and effectiveness of WBV.
Was it a scam or did it really work as reported? What was
the mechanism used and how did it achieve desired results
for not only muscle and body toning, but exercise?
In the last ten months, we have purchased eight different
machines for evaluation. What we have learned is that for
best results both in body toning and strength the T.O.S.
system appears to achieve the same or better results than
the “piston” equipment (which can cost from $400.00 to
$10,000.00). We have found one other T.O.S., but we are
concerned about its durability and are studying it to see
if it is worth using from a quality of construction
standpoint.
We have tested and tried most of the equipment available.
Some of the cheaper equipment seems to only vibrate up to
the knees (using a piston vibration) and would not be
recommended medically or even from a body strengthening
standpoint. One is has such a poor motor that it does
nothing. While expensive, some of the popular machines are
not recommended for the reasons cited above and use the
piston style technology.
With the K-1 Platinum, we have had many patients report no
more back problems after years of medical and chiropractic
treatments (all have reported strengthening and toning).
There is a television segment where a paraplegic patient
talks about the strengthening of his upper torso. Fitness
buffs have claimed that the K2 has toned their body better
than they have ever been able to achieve at the Health
Clubs.
The results of use in conjunction with physician supervised
weight loss far exceeded our expectations and there are TV
segments already on our web site and more to add from
patients who have experienced the benefits of using the K-1
Platinum2 first hand.
If you live in
the Sonoma area, you may come experience the K-1 Platinum
at our office.
