Impossible is the Degree of Difficulty

Advanced Frequency Treatment (AFT) is a new method using Vibrotraining Device in rehabilitation, physical therapy, and sport. It has been reported that low-frequency and short period muscle vibration may induce rehabilitation after injuries, pain relief, improvements in strength, power, and/or flexibility similar to those observed after several weeks of heavy training. Vibration treatment and training is currently a regular topic of debates at scientific conferences and coaches’ clinics and many articles have been published in scientific magazines about the effects of vibration on pain reduction, fibromyalgia, arthritis, osteoporosis, strength and power, flexibility, balance, rehabilitation after injuries, recovery after high-intensity training, and other areas. Find out more on AFT at our clinics.

Research demonstrates that only 10-20 minutes per day of exposure to low-frequency vibration results in doubling of muscle blood flow and energy metabolism; quadrupling of Human Growth hormone production; increasing of testosterone and reduction of cortisol (the stress hormone) production; as well as increasing bone density comparably to, hours of high impact, strenuous physical activity.

AFT reduces stress and muscles’ stiffness. As result, body is more relaxed. Studies show that electrical activity of muscles is significantly reduced. AFT affects flexibility as well. Studies report significant increase in flexibility after low-frequency vibration exercise.

Studies report faster rehabilitation from injuries after low-frequency vibration. It stimulates growth of bones and other body tissues. It has been demonstrated quick recovery from joint and muscles injuries using AFT.

Areas of Use of AFT

• Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation

• Recovery from Strenuous and High-Intensity Work

• Improvement in Muscle Strength

• Improvement in Flexibility

Potential Benefits of Vibration Treatment on:

• Pain Reduction

• Rehabilitation after Injuries

• Strength and Power

• Flexibility

• Recovery from High-Intensity Training

Acute Effects from Vibration Treatment

After just several minutes of vibration:

• Strength increase up to 10%

• Flexibility increase up to 20%

• Reduced pain effect

• Reduced production of stress hormone cortisol up to 32%

• Increasing of growth hormone production up to 400%
