Successful response to vibration therapy is not limited to the human body. This innovative treatment has also been successful for animal fitness and rehabilitation. Significant research has confirmed the positive effects of vibration technology for equine rehabilitation, as well as for felines and canines.
The use of vibration is an effective form of equine therapy, especially for racehorses. These horses normally experience significant physical wear and tear due to their training and competitions. They may also develop complications due to their confinement in stalls. Due to this confinement, it is beneficial for them to receive muscle stimulation in a way alternate to exercise. Using the VibePlate causes involuntary muscle contractions, resulting in improved blood and lymph circulation. Increased blood flow improves oxygenation of the tissues, removal of toxins and metabolic waste and enhances the body's ability to heal itself.

Equine Vibration Therapy
August 17, 2010
By Heather Smith Thomas
A new method to help promote bone strength and density in horses utilizes whole body vibration, with the horse standing with all four feet on a frequency-controlled vibration platform. This type of therapy (bio-mechanical stimulation of body tissues) is new to horses, but has been in use for human medicine for more than 40 years. Currently it is used for human athletes, stroke victims, patients suffering from multiple sclerosis, arthritis, rheumatism, cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease and numerous other problems. It has proven helpful in elderly people to prevent osteoporosis.
