Whole Body Vibration Plate Exercise Risks
Whole Body Vibration Plate Machines are scientifically calibrated exercise machines designed to force your muscles to stretch and contract rapidly in small increments, replicating the same action which occurs during traditional exercising. Vibration exercises use your body weight and gravity to its fullest potential. Please do not use a whole body vibration plate or any other exercise device without getting approval from your doctor.
The device is not recommended if you are: pregnant, diabetic with complications such as neuropathy or retinal damage, have a pacemaker, recently underwent surgery, suffer from epilepsy or migraines, have herniated disks, spondylolisthesis, spondylolysis, have cancer or tumors, have recent joint replacements, have metal pins or plates, or have any other concerns about your physical health. These contra-indications do not mean that you are not able to use a vibration or other exercise device, but it is recommended that you consult your physician first. You understand that using a whole body vibration machine workout is a strictly voluntary physical activity. If at any time you experience pain or discomfort of any kind, you agree to inform the staff immediately and/or terminate the exercise.
