Vibration Training - History & Evolution

We advise taking a look at our paper prior to listening to this discussion. "Whole-Body Vibration Training Protocols for People with Cerebral Palsy: a Systematic Review of Randomised Controlled Trials" has been published online in Advances in Neurodevelopmental Disorders, https://rdcu.be/c9AxJ to understand the context behind the comments and feedback in our discussion

Over nearly two years I have seen how much the Lineal machines have helped people, and personally experienced how much Vibra-Train has helped improve my quality of life and physical wellbeing. If the well-known companies had succeeded none of this would be possible, and Lloyd has documents to prove the playbook exists.. If you think I am being overly dramatic; think again, because

Lloyd answers the question he gets asked frequently. He deliberately set up his business in this way to counter trends he could see eventuating, and to stand up against practices he is aware of in the industry.

Outlining the different reasons for their design and keeping that in mind gives the key to their most effective use. To easily remember the difference between Pivotal and Lineal machines go back to their beginning. It is not about which is 'best', as particularly for CP it is important to use both types - provided the machines are appropriate for people who are not able-bodied.

Middlemore is central to the story of how Vibra-Train came to be.

What is possible when using a machine designed for authentic full body vibration even with disability and impairment, when safety and forward-thinking are at the forefront of design.... and not listening to those who insist it cannot be done.....
