Vibration therapy:
healing from within

In vibration therapy, mechanical vibrations are transmitted to the body in a targeted manner, either locally via handheld devices and massage sticks, or to the whole body via vibration plates. Depending on the intended application, the frequencies range from 5 to 50 hertz. The vibrations trigger involuntary muscle contractions – a reflex activated by the nervous system in response to the rapid changes in position. This stimulates the muscles, tendons, and fasciae without any active effort. Furthermore, the vibration improves blood circulation and stimulates the lymphatic system. A session typically lasts 10 to 20 minutes and is supervised by qualified therapists or incorporated into guided wellness programmes.

Studies show that regular vibration therapy helps maintain muscle mass and bone density – which is particularly important in older age and during rehabilitation. It relieves muscle tension, speeds up recovery after physical exertion, and improves coordination and balance. It also has a relaxing effect on the nervous system: the increased blood flow reduces the release of stress hormones and noticeably promotes a sense of well-being. In a wellness context, users particularly appreciate the deep tissue relaxation and the feeling of lightness following a session – an effective way to regenerate body and mind in a short space of time.
