Are the contra-indications absolute?
The contra-indications given for the VibroGym are all conditions that we would advise against using the machine. However, if you are suffering from any of those listed it does not mean you can never use the VibroGym. Vibration training has been shown to be beneficial when integrated into a treatment plan in some cases. Obviously you would have to agree this with your medical specialist prior to use and always train under strict supervision from a trained VibroGym instructor. There is currently a wealth of research being conducted into the effects of vibration training on different medical conditions so the contra-indications may change in the future.

The list of contra-indications is a list of all medical conditions that would be a reason to advice against using the Power Plate machine. This doesn’t mean that if you are suffering from any of the conditions on the list, you could never user the Power Plate device at all. Rather, in a number of cases it would be highly recommendable to integrate Acceleration Training in a rehabilitation program. Of course, this would have to be with consent of a doctor, specialist or physiotherapist, and under strict supervision of a trained Power Plate instructor. Because there are several studies being conducted at this time on the effects of Acceleration Training on several physical problems, the list of contra-indications may be adjusted in the future. Some empirical studies have shown that there is an entire range of debilitating conditions where Acceleration Training may play an important part, such as C.V.A. (Cerebro Vascular Accidents, also known as stroke) and Parkinson’s disease.
