Area of Concern

Excess weight, poor muscle tone, weak muscle strength, poor circulation, range of motion challenges.

Treatment Plan

The body has an amazing reflex capability. Muscles automatically respond to stimulus. In the case of the Fitvibe™ your muscles respond to vibration. Arista's patented Fitvibe™ induces thousands of effortless involuntary muscle contractions by transmitting mechanical vibrations to the body through a vibration plate. The frequency of these vibrations can be adjusted from 20Hz to 50HZ (20 to 50 movements per second).

The Fitvibe™ utilizes controlled vertical vibrations to increase stability in the human body, stimulating reflexive muscle contractions to improve strength, power, and agility. This method of training, increasingly popular among professional athletes in the United States and Europe, is known as Whole Body Vibration™ (WBV).

The principle behind Whole Body Vibration™ is Newton's law of motion which states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration. Whereas conventional workouts typically apply mass, such as free weights, to improve the body's functional force, the Fitvibe™ applies acceleration to the body instead - achieving the benefits of a workout without requiring significant physical exertion.

Whole Body Vibration™ is grounded in independent scientific research conducted in the United States, Europe, and Asia. In a controlled study published in the Official Journal of the American College of Sports Medicine, researchers reported that "strength, and more specifically isometric and isokinetic strengths, significantly improved after WBV training. The magnitude of the strength increase in isometric and dynamic strength of the quadriceps is comparable to the increase that was realized by an equal number of resistance training sessions."
