If you select the manual usage you can choose from different amounts of times by selecting the number keys (1-9) displayed on the left side of the display (as shown, 1=30sec, 2=60sec…). Press start and the Vibration machine will than accordingly run for that amount of time.

2. Program usage option

If you select the Program usage and press one of keys (1-9) and press start you will select the specific program that you see in the manual. If you want to stop the program at anytime throughout the exercise, just press the stop button.

To start off with we would recommend a maximum Hz of 35.

If you have any medical contitions and have the clearance from your GP to use the Vibration machine We would recommend to start with sitting on a chair with the legs on the vibration machine, than standing, just one leg on the machine. Ensure that you always bends your knees and turn the machines just than on when you already stands on the machine with the knees bend!

Due to the nature of the machine, the elderly can activate their muscles in a simple, safe way without extra strain on the joints and ligaments. However, it is best to do so with trained supervision until you are familiar with the platform.

The oscillating action is considered to be more therapeutic as it may increase mobility in the pelvis, and encourage skeletal realignment.

It is known that oscillating platforms prevent bone loss in sheep and chickens and preliminary trials on postmenopausal women have had positive results in bone growth.

The Vitality 600 and the Vibrodisc from Vitality 4 Life have been independently tested to show improvements in circulation.

Lineal platforms are measured in Hertz (Hz) and oscillating platforms are measured by amplitude.
In the discussion of vibration, we refer to the speed of vibration as a measurement called Hz and the force of the vibration as amplitude.

Research has found that low amplitude vibrations may be better for humans; however, the human response to Hz is said to differ from person to person.

Research suggests that vibrations from lineal platforms in the 12 to 60 Hz range have many beneficial effects although the above 40 Hz range is more suitable for serious athletes.

This miraculous machine has got me up off the couch & walking again after all this time.

I am no longer so incredibly cold or tired, it has made my life bearable. People need to know about this – there is no “cure” for what I have. Doctors need to know about this, my cramps are nearly gone and the pain is tolerable.

This is only after 6 days use, imagine how good the future will be!

Thank you
