A few specific static positions like half squat, half push-up, etc., are used for just 1 minute, to provide whole body vibrations, through machines, for the purpose of burning maximum energy, with minimum or no effort. This method is used not only for otherwise healthy persons, but for treating several orthopedic diseases, or even beauty treatments. But it can result in fatigue, low back pain, digestive disorders, vision problems, genital problems, among several side effects, if not administered properly.
Types of whole body vibration machine in India:
· Pivotal machines, which create vibrations that, arise from side to side jumping from one foot to the other. This is used at low frequencies, in physiotherapy or for conditioning. However, if administered at high speed, and with incorrect stance, it can result in tissue damage.
· Lineal machines, which create vibrations arising from spot jumping or doing pushups from one spot. In these machines, the frequency is not that important, and tissue damage is improbable even when vibration is used at high frequencies.
