Whole Body Vibration

Hypervibe G17 Pro

Whole Body Vibration using the Hypervibe G10 and G17 Pro are non-invasive modalities that delivers controlled mechanical oscillations through a side-alternating (pivotal) platform. These vibrations generate carefully dosed acceleration forces that stimulate muscles, bones, and connective tissues, enhancing neuromuscular activation, circulation, and tissue loading in a low-impact way. 

Mechanism of Action:

Hypervibe Whole Body Vibration promotes: 

  • Reflexive activation of muscles via stretch-reflex at specific frequencies 

  • Increased mechanical loading of bone and connective tissue without impact 

  • Improved circulation and lymphatic flow in the lower extremities 

  • Enhanced proprioception and postural control during standing and dynamic tasks 

  • Neuromuscular priming for movement, balance, and strength activities

Clinical Applications: 

Whole Body Vibration is used to support: 

  • Lower extremity rehab after ankle, knee, or hip injury or surgery 

  • Balance and fall-prevention programs, especially in older adults 

  • Bone-health and osteopenia/osteoporosis management where appropriate 

  • Stiffness, deconditioning, and reduced circulation from prolonged sitting or inactivity 

  • Time-efficient strength and conditioning for people who cannot tolerate high-impact exercise 

  • Recovery and neuromuscular activation for athletes and performers 

Procedure

Patients stand, sit, or perform guided exercises on the pivotal vibration platform while the therapist adjusts frequency, amplitude, stance, and duration. Sessions are typically brief, often 5–15 minutes, and are individualized based on diagnosis, tolerance, and goals. Whole Body Vibration is always used as an adjunct to active rehabilitation—integrated with strength, balance, and movement training rather than as a stand-alone treatment.

Scientific Basis

The Hypervibe G10 and G17 Pro operate in a frequency range of approximately 5–35 Hz with the capacity to generate up to around 17 g of acceleration, parameters associated with clinically meaningful muscle and bone stimulation when properly dosed. Research on whole body vibration indicates potential benefits in muscle strength, balance, and bone density, particularly when combined with targeted exercise and supervised application in appropriate populations.

At KNOSIS, Whole Body Vibration is integrated into personalized programs to safely augment strength, balance, and tissue loading—especially for patients needing low-impact options—while maintaining close attention to alignment, symptoms, and overall nervous system response.
