WHAT IS WHOLE BODY VIBRATION
Whole body vibration (WBV) is NOT new or untested technology, It is now widely used by Physiotherapists, Chiropractors and Occupational Therapists thought Australia & the world. You may also notice that it is now being used in many of the leading weight loss clinics throughout Australia. WBV technology is also being used by many elite sports teams and Olympic athletes. A list of these elite teams and practitioners are available here. There are also a growing number of gymnasiums that are replacing traditional resistance training equipment & installing WBV technology.
Until now WBV technology has only been for the rich

it affordable for people to use WBV technology in
the privacy and convenience of their own home with
the release of the new WBV-3000!
