Description
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. The text is further supported by online access
to over 35 video clips demonstrating the possible treatment exercises.
Audience:
Physiotherapists, sports and exercise medics, manual and massage therapists
