About this ebook
This innovative new manual demonstrates the application of vibration technology to the treatment of pathologies such as osteoporosis, osteopenia, stroke and different musculoskeletal disorders. It covers pathology on the upper and lower extremities as well as the whole spine. New treatment strategies are practically and logically presented with recommended exercises and accompanying instructions that can be applied using the vibration platforms. Rationale is given for selected vibration frequencies, amplitudes and modes for the duration and frequency of the exercise session. The manual is grounded in evidence underpinned by a thorough literature review (including a balanced view of both pros and cons) and clinical cases. The authors present clinical treatment parameters that are evidence-based and have supportive physiological rationale that is consistent with the nature of the pathology being treated.
First book of its kind applying evidence-based vibration technology to physical (physiotherapy) and sport therapy practice
Exercise recommendations accompanied by over 70 four-colour illustrations
Indications and contra-indications in clinical practice
Comprehensive literature review of evidence base and principles
Written and supported by experts actively applying this technology to their practice
