Degenerative disease conditions, accelerated aging and all diminished capacities
ultimately can be attributed to insufficient cellular stimulation. As the living cell
struggles with poor nutrition, low oxygen levels, environmental toxins and
stagnation of lymphatic fluids, disease conditions develop that can accelerate aging
and shorten lifespan.

Health is a Choice
TurboSonic whole-body vibration therapy provides the first safe, effective way to
excite human cells. This new patented technology accelerates the body's natural
uptake, stimulates cellular fluid movement and facilitates cellular waste removal. As
a result, the new cells are more resilient, vibrant, and function together more
cohesively as a healthier, longer lasting body.
TurboSonic Vibration Therapy for Muscles
The effect of vibration results in what scientific literature calls 'Tonic Vibration
Reflex' or 'TVR'. That is a repeated mitotic reflex or stretch reflex. This means that
the vibrated muscle has to work very hard, while the subject or player using
TurboSonic does nothing other than balance on the platform. The effect per
pulsation is like that of the knee jerk reflex. This muscle activity can be measured
by use of electromyography (EMG). For example, in a one repetition maximum
effort, the muscle(s) involved are activated 100% voluntarily. However with
vibration training on TurboSonic the muscles work at 200 to 300% of this IRM
activation. This is an ideal way to train, especially when the muscle does not
function properly, for example with weakened muscles in the elderly, or after
injuries.
Vibration Training and Hormones
Research shows that after vibration training (just one session!), there is a high
excretion of Testosterone and Growth Hormone. There is also a drop in the stress
hormone cortisol. This combination has favorable effects on muscle protein
synthesis. Effects of vibration training on Hormones:
•Testosterone: + 7%
•Human Growth Hormone: + 460%
•Cortisol: - 32% (Source: Bosco et al 2000)
Increases in Testosterone and Growth Hormone become important in the
functioning of both body and mind. Many complaints of the elderly can be traced to
a decrease in these hormones. It is essentially these hormones, together with the
female hormone estrogen, used to combat geriatric complaints so that it is possible
to still enjoy life and vitality even when one has reached old age.
Bones Decalcification - Vibration Therapy
Bone decalcification (osteoporosis) is one of the biggest health problems especially
in the elderly and women population. Many elderly people break their bones more
easily when they fall because of bone decalcification; the hip is the most notorious
in this respect. The onset of osteoporosis is partly due to a lack of movement,
causing muscles to gradually weaken, the circulation to diminish and the bones to
be inadequately used. In addition, as a result of the ageing process, the body
produces less hormones such as testosterone, estrogen and growth hormone. Yet
it is exactly these hormones which play such an important role in the maintenance
of strong bones.
The advice usually given to sufferers of this disease is to take more exercise, but
that is difficult when muscles are weak, particularly in the legs. TurboSonic offers a
good alternative to vigorous impact exercise: through vibration the muscles
automatically become stronger and regain their tone. The circulation improves
because the blood vessels in the legs are wide open due to the vibration therapy.
At the same time, the pulsation gives a direct stimulus to bone tissue, and in turn
stimulates the production of new bone tissue.
Scientific research shows that vibration training can help against osteoporosis.
Recent findings show that even after only one vibration treatment, there is an
increase in the hormone testosterone and growth hormone, essential for strong
bones.
Vibration Training the Neurotransmitters
Parkinson's disease is an example of a deficiency in dopamine, the reason that L-
Dopa is given as medicine. It is also recognized that serotonin plays a role in our
mood, or frame of mind. A shortage of serotonin in the brain can lead to
depression, a reason that Prozac is given as a medicine in order to increase the
serotonin content in the brain. From research, it appears that vibration training
also influences the neurotransmitters and the way in which they work. Vibration
training increases the serotonin content in the brain, which could possibly explain
why one feels so well after vibration training.
Blood Vessels
The effect of vibration training on the blood vessels is clear to see and to feel. After
training, one often sees that the skin of the lower leg is colored pink. This is a sign
that the blood vessels in that area are wide open. It also explains the feeling
which many describe as: coming home after a snowball fight with your bare hands,
and then putting your hands in a bucket of warm water creating a tingling feeling
indicating that your blood vessels are wide open. In Germany, the effect of
vibration training is used as therapy for a disturbed peripheral circulation,
particularly in the lower legs, such as in chronic venous insufficiency.
Nervous System - Vibration Therapy
The effect on the muscles is reflexively activated via the nervous system. With
vibration training, it seems as if pulsations awaken the nerve tract, that could
explain the positive effects of vibration training in partial paralysis. In fact, good
results have been reported in the experimental treatment of, for example, MS
patients.
Cartilage - Vibration Training
It is already recognized that intermittent pressure stimulates optimal functioning of
the cartilage. This causes the synovial fluid, or synovial, to be repeatedly pumped
between the cartilage, just like a sponge that is constantly squeezed under water.
This intermittent pressure maintains and improves cartilage function.
