The Physiological Impact of bioDensity™

Bone Mass Density
bioDensity™ makes possible a safe, self-induced, neuro-musculoskeletal stimulus that provides loading up to multiples of body weight. Such loads are normally associated with impact loading. The U.S. Surgeon General states that activities that involve impact loading are most useful for increasing or maintaining bone mass². User-volunteered, unsolicited patient DXA Scans have shown an average 4.5% bone mass gain (n=7) for individuals in the program for 3 years.

What can exercise on the Power Plate accomplish?
• Immediate improvement in blood circulation
• Increased muscle strength and flexibility
• Improved range of motion
• Decreased cellulite
• Increased bone mineral density
• Improve neuropathy
• Reduced pain and soreness and faster recovery from surgery, cancer treatment

Acceleration Training for Non-Exercisers

A recent study showed that there were 2 major reasons participants did not adhere to an exercise program:
1. Their pre-existing level of physical activity
2. Recommended exercise time (Sedentary women who were asked to exercise 30 minutes/day, 5 days a week were very likely to quit!)

Now suppose you could achieve all your goals by exercising just 15 minutes 2 or 3 times a week!


To help achieve your goals (especially for non-exercisers), Acceleration Training does the following:

1. Just show up. Because of the tonic-vibration reflex, you don’t even have to move. Let the Power Plate machine work on muscle contractions to get your “work-out”!
2. Give us 15 minutes twice a week to increase muscle strength. Most people see results very quickly.

In addition, our exclusive bioDensity machine can build strength in less then 5 minutes per week

At KAIZEN TOTAL WELLNESS, our trainers are certified by Power Plate International to insure that you can expect a work-out that is tailored to your needs.
When used for certain medical conditions, this might even be covered by your insurance.
All programs are low impact and very safe

Ever heard of Power Plate? Look at a small sample of some of the people and institutions who are using it:
We are proud to offer Power Plate (along with bioDensity-muscle strengthening) training in the Sarasota area under direct physician and physical therapy supervision.

We have been using this technology at Kaizen Total Wellness® for the past 1 1/2 years with a great deal of success! We are currently the only facility in Florida offering this combination of technologies. If you have been diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis, this may be used by itself or in conjunction with prescription medications.

BStrong4Life™,  a Chicago-based wellness company has launched a 6-month pilot study to determine the effectiveness of their system on improving bone mineral density without medication. The system is a combination of two technologies: Power Plate, and bioDensity,  as well as a proprietary training system that integrates the two.
Power Plate equipment works on the principles of whole-body vibration. This proprietary system uses warm-up procedures to prepare the user for each bioDensity session and to optimize performance. The Power Plate equipment vibrates almost imperceptibly, causing whole body vibrations that create instability and trigger reflexive contractions in the muscles, as frequently as 25 to 50 times per second.
The equipment also oscillates, so the muscles must contract in multiple dimensions. This technique stimulates the fast-twitch muscle fibers, which can lead to increased muscle strength, endurance and overall agility. The user stands on the equipment while performing either static or dynamic exercises.
The user creates as much muscular force as possible while performing four comprehensive static isometric muscle contractions. The equipment uses a patented load cell/software interface that precisely measures, tabulates and records muscular force output at 30 times per second. All physical efforts are recorded, and compared and contrasted over time. Each user receives a Performance Report at the conclusion of each training session.

Muscle atrophy is a normal part of aging, but we can actually do more ourselves to help this part of the body than almost any other part...we can control the conditioning and reconditioning of our muscles to a significant degree and the results are extremely beneficial.  What are seniors most afraid of? One thing is falling.  Recovering from a broken bone is very slow and sometimes not even possible when our muscles and bones have weakened too much.  By strengthening our bodies, we have better balance, and in the less-likely event of a fall, we have the agility and arm/hand strength to catch ourselves more safely.  Are you concerned about osteoporosis? While I harp on paying attention to our daily nutrition, getting enough protein, calcium and Vitamin D, I also must note that diet is not enough... you must include exercise, specifically weight resistance training in your regular self care. The very best way I've found to do this is by using the BioDensity machine - it only takes a few minutes once a week and it's designed so I can't hurt myself trying to lift weights or use equipment at a typical gym.   You need to experience it for yourself and if you mention this blog when you call the Kaizen Total Wellness Center you can schedule a complimentary session where a certified fitness professional will demonstrate the BioDensity machine with you so you can try it out with no cost or obligation.  The computer-measured results we see are increased bone density and muscle strength.  Please read about it further on our site and also the science of it here: http://www.biodensity.com/Science.html

A recent study in JAMA suggests the long term use of Bisphosphonate drugs may actually increase the risk of thigh fractures, especially use for greater than five- years.
In our practice we see many patients fail to achieve any meaningful bone strengthening even after 10 years of medications! Active weight resistance exercising along with adequate Calcium and Vitamin D seems to work as well and is much healthier.
Our patients, working with our trainers for fifteen- minutes twice a week on our low impact bioDensity and Power Plate machines have shown bone density increases as much a 7% in just one year!

That's right, we're expanding to include on-site balance testing and physical therapy integrated services, unique to the West Coast of Florida. We're very happy to announce the physical therapists  from Neuromuscular Therapy Center have joined Kaizen Total Wellness.

This team will provide physical therapy, occupational therapy, massage therapy and balance therapy services to our patients/clients. We are also pleased to announce that most insurance plans and Medicare are now being accepted. Please call for further information. (Unfortunately we cannot accept insurance for dietary/nutritional services). Kaizen is also pleased to offer state of the art computerized balance evaluations to help prevent falls.

The advantage of having integrated physical therapy, balance testing and fitness training utilizing the combination of Power-Plate® equipment and bioDensity® technology is a tremendous advantage for those wishing to gain or maintain strength throughout the process of aging and recuperation from injury or surgery. 

Statistics show that 30% of all Americans over 65 will have a fall that will cause an injury required medical attention.  At Kaizen Total Wellness, our approach is to prevent the injury through medically supervised balance testing and the risk of falling and prescribe physical therapy and fitness training to address these issues. Medicare and major insurance frequently cover such medically supervised and prescribed programs upon diagnosis.
