Editorial Reviews

In Whole Body Vibration, Becky Chambers explains the considerable science behind vibrating for health. Testosterone and growth hormones increase and cortisol (stress hormone) decreases significantly! WBV helps reverse osteoporosis, increases leg strength, decreases fat in muscles, and improves bone density of spine and legs. It is equal to resistance training in improving leg strength and performance. And, most of all, it is energizing!

Whole Body Vibration is a compelling and entertaining look at the myriad and amazing benefits of WBV. I, myself, use my vibration plate every day because, simply put, it just makes me feel good.

During more than twenty years of hosting Strategies for Living Radio, I’ve been privileged to talk to many innovators, and Becky Chambers is definitely one of them. Becky’s work has been instrumental in changing the way we look at being “healthy” in the twenty-first century. Pioneers such as Becky are putting healthcare back where it belongs—in our own hands. Pardon the pun, but I get good vibrations from Becky Chambers and Whole Body Vibration: The Future of Good Health; I recommend you read it and consider its important message.

Becky presents state-of-the-art information on the exciting new technology of whole body vibration in her book, Whole Body Vibration: The Future of Good Health, and I am happy to endorse it. I have been very impressed with whole body vibration since I first learned about it when looking for treatment for a patient with severe osteoporosis who had no ability to exercise. WBV worked beautifully, resulting in a dramatic increase in bone density for my patient in just one year. The more I learn about WBV, the more impressed I am.

WBV can be used in both sickness and health. It can increase muscle strength and improve muscle tone and influence mood by improving neurotransmitter balance. It can have a positive impact on people with Metabolic Syndrome (increased blood pressure, high blood sugar levels, excess body fat around the waist, and lipid abnormalities). WBV is used by physical therapists, as well as professional athletes, to help heal injuries and improve conditioning. It even seems to have a positive impact on the endocrine system by increasing testosterone levels and decreasing cortisol levels (suggesting that it can reduce the impact of stress on us). I expect we will see much wider use of WBV in the future.
