Cellulite is a common problem for women of all ages. Here too, vibrational training has been shown to be effective. In a German six-month long research project into the effects of Acceleration Training on cellulite, 55 subjects were divided into two groups:
 
One group did Whole Body Vibrational Training for 8-13 minutes, two to three times a week
The second group performed the identical vibrational exercise, plus another 24-48 minutes of cardio training, two to three times a week
Baseline measurements were collected at the beginning of the study, and repeated six months later. The data collected included:
 
Skin condition (the measure of cellulite or evaluation of the deposits of dimpled fat under the skin).
Circumference of calf muscles, buttocks, and upper thigh.
Body composition: body fat percentage, lean mass percentage.
After six months, the Whole Body Vibrational training group only had a cellulite reduction of just below 26 percent, while the WBV plus cardio group had a cellulite reduction of just over 32 percent. The authors concluded:
 
"This study proves that easy, simple and efficient whole body vibration training can defeat cellulite; it can accelerate and enhance collagen remodeling, improve circulation, increase lean tissue, help people to lose fat and reduce the size of buttocks, thighs and calves."
 
Our trainers are all certified by Power Plate International and all sessions are private.

Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos began their offseason training program to prepare for the season’s kickoff. They’re making some new changes to their strength and conditioning program, including implementing Power Plate Acceleration Training.
In a recent interview, Denver Broncos coach John Fox said there would be changes to “a lot of equipment.”
“There’s a little more body-weight-type training instead of real heavy weights,” Fox said. “It’s a little more new-science oriented.”
The Denver Broncos currently have 12 Power Plate machines in their training facility.

Don’t be fooled by imitators! New franchises advertising "whole body vibration" are springing up in many areas.

There is a reason that most hospitals and professional athletic teams use the genuine POWER PLATE as part of their training and rehabilitation programs.

At KAIZEN TOTAL WELLNESS, we do not think most people can achieve maximum benefits by working on these kinds of equipment without the proper supervision.

We believe that there are very few primary care practices in the country that offer these kinds of services and that we are the ONLY office in FLORIDA offering both POWER PLATE AND bioDENSITY technology
 
Instead of just treating diseases we have made a conscious effort to bring health and wellness to our patients seamlessly in our office. And the GREAT news is this is available to anyone in the community. We will even send progress notes to your physician!
Not only do we offer nutritional counseling but we also have our own low impact state of the art gym right in the office.
We are not only able to train our younger athletic patients but also our older patients who either want to get in better shape or have certain medical conditions that may improve with exercise therapy.
Most insurance plans cover our physical therapy programs and Medicare will pay for face to face private ongoing obesity counseling by our nurse practitioner.
Our programs, which have been very successful are safe and supervised by both Dr. Mishner and Dr. Rose (physical therapist).
Our exercise trainers are certified by Power Plate International and are experienced in working with older patients.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — There’s a new machine popping up in gyms across the Twin Cities that’s doing the workout for you.
Sounds like a dream come true, right? Well, there’s a little more to it than that.
At a glance, the Power Plate looks like it’s at a standstill, but the machine vibrates up to 50 times per second.
Steele Fitness personal trainer Josh Hetterick explains how the Power Plate works.

“What’s happening is you’re not moving, but your muscles are getting that vibration,” he said. “So it feels like you’re doing a ton of squats. But you’re not. You’re holding that muscle in place and it’s actually being used. But what the vibration is doing is rapidly going back and forth; back and forth contractions.”
Here’s why it’s great – not only are muscles getting a more intense workout by having to stabilize and react to the vibrations, but you’re holding one movement. And that can really help your joints.
“The joints are going to feel a lot better because they aren’t going up and down,” Hetterick said. “You’re not grinding. But the muscles are still getting the effect, if not a greater effect.”
Think of it as getting the results of 40 to 60 squats in 30 seconds, while only bending your knees once. Same goes for push-ups, triceps dips and beyond.
According to Hetterick, the Power Plate is also useful post-workout.
“With this, you’re actually massaging the muscles so that more oxygen can get into the muscle,” he said. “And when more oxygen gets into the muscle, you have a better chance of recovery. That lactic acid that causes that soreness is flushed out.”

Hetterick does warn of the dangers of using this machine. He said it’s important to have proper positioning to ensure you don’t jar your head or any joints. It’s also not good for pregnant women, or people who have brain injuries.***
***This is why the Power Plate at Kaizen Total Wellness is used ONLY under the supervision of our certified trainers, who are under the supervision of our Physical Therapist.

A recent journal article from Japan showed the benefits of exercise in combating Alzheimer’s Disease.
Alzheimer’s occurs most commonly over the age of 65 and the lack of exercise may play a large role in its development.
It appears that a protein called AMYLOID builds up in the brain and can be decreased with regular exercise. It is interesting that different diets showed no benefits when compared to exercise (unless you were a mouse!).
Please note that medications do not work well and the best treatment is prevention.
 
At KAIZEN TOTAL WELLNESS, we offer exercise programs in private with our certified trainers in a safe, low-impact environment (utilizing Power Plate and bioDensity technologies) that is safe for all ages and supervised by both our physician and physical therapist.
Call for more information or schedule your free demo.
