The biomechanical applications of Acceleration Training™ exercise using Power Plate® machines are becoming accepted in the medical field for the prevention and treatment of different types of illnesses and injuries.
Power Plate® machines allow people with osteoporosis, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's Disease to exercise while working within their personal physical limitations, while also aiding in the treatment of the symptoms from these debilitating conditions.
We feel fortunate to be able to provide a device that has helped so many people face the many conditions of life. However, as with all medical applications, and to ensure your safety, you should consult your physician and address any contraindications before using any Power Plate® machine.
"We are still excited about the response we are getting from our clients. One of our MS patients is walking so much better with improved balance and gait. Another client with osteoporosis just had a bone scan and despite just working out sporadically for three months she experienced her first increase in bone density after being on Actonel and Fosamax for several years."

Rehabilitation
Not only can Acceleration Training™ exercise using Power Plate® machines prevent injuries, it can help rehabilitate them as well. Many professional sports teams have found Power Plate® machines to be indispensable for rehabilitation.
The ability to strengthen muscles without strain on joints and ligaments can be extremely valuable for patients with rehabilitation needs. Increased blood circulation helps bring oxygen to inflamed areas to promote healing, while improved lymphatic flow helps drain fluid build-up from injured tissue.
Physical therapists around the world have found the benefits of Power Plate® machines invaluable in their practices.
"In our patient population, we are noticing an increase in strength, balance, endurance, ability to stand and walk better and quicker by using the Power Plate."
