There’s so many different areas in which it helps us. Our “ athletes love getting on it… helping them prepare for their training session or practice even. It’s a huge benefit; waking them up, stimulating the muscles so they’re prepared to compete, to practice or take their training to the next level.

THE SCIENCE Multi-directional, harmonic vibration technology that stimulates the body’s natural reflexes, rapidly eliciting both a local and global reflexive response through our proprioceptive system, is simply described as neuromuscular activation.

The Power Plate surface moves predominantly vertically creating micro hits of ground reaction force, authentically replicating the same chain reaction in the body as when the foot strikes the ground in both walking and running – our most natural form of movement – but multiple times per second.

The combined tri-planar movement creates a unique and novel environment that cannot be replicated on the ground, facilitating micro moments of instability, which the body perceives as movement and responds to reflexively to maintain stability and control our centre of gravity within our base of support.

Therefore it’s easier to describe and view Power Plate as a change of environment, on which exercises typically done on the floor can be amplified through a specific stimulus to the nervous system that enhances body-wide communication and muscle activation, amplifying the benefits for the user, whether it be for movement preparation, performance and conditioning or recovery and regeneration.

Everything should “ be made as simple as possible but not simple”r.

ABOUT US As early as the 1960s, whole-body vibration science was studied extensively and the results showed benefits for muscular strength, flexibility, power, circulation and recovery. For the elite training and therapeutic community, Power Plate opened the potential for human performance and exercise physiology to reach new levels of accomplishment.

Since the 1990s, Power Plate has been the go-to WBV training manufacturer providing equipment and content to the fitness and elite markets, integrating the modality into all aspects of athlete conditioning. The Global R&D Team continues to invest more time

Now the brand is represented in over 100 countries with applications for and resources into investigating more efficient and fitness, high-performance professional sports, CrossFit, health, active ageing, “ effective ways to achieve optimal physical performance wellness, physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Professional sports teams use it and wellness through WBV to develop our position as as standard training protocol, and the number of home users, coaches, trainers, scientists, doctors, and therapists who join our community a global thought leader in advanced technology solutions continues to rise. for fitness, health and wellness. Lee Hillman,CEO ” P R E P A R E / P E R F O R M / R E C O V E R

OUR PRINCIPLES

The principles of vibration and the body’s response to that are embedded in science. It is our business to understand how to optimise the use of the vibration stimulus, to coach application and design adaptable programming to help individuals to move more, and move well. The more authentic a person’s movement, the better the response and adaptation in the body from a proprioceptive and motor-learning perspective.

We’re making adaptations to our programming all of the time and “ testing recommendations o n t h e a p p l i c a t i o n o f movement/function/3D movement to take advantage of the vi brati o n stimulus for better performance. Steve Powell, Director of UK Training ” P R E P A R E / P E R F O R M / R E C O V E R

It’s no coincidence that our Coach Team has a passion for whole-body vibration. OUR COACH TEAM As accomplished coaches, “In 2001 as a personal trainer educators and practitioners, I used Power Plate for the each with an impressive first time with a long- sports science background standing client who suffered and inherent appreciation of from fibromyalgia. I asked human movement science, my client to position her every member of the Team hands on the plate surface. long understood the positive Within 5 minutes, her impacts of vibration training otherwise sustained pain had before joining the gone, and I didn’t have a international Team clue why. That happened responsible for the delivery time after time with my of Power Plate education. clients and it provoked the inquisitive desire to “We have witnessed that to understand more.” create the right education Steve Powell, experience irrespective of the Director of UK Training audience you have to have your own story to tell to be authentic to the product; all of the guys have one.”

From women’s health specialists through to elite performance, special populations, falls prevention, active aging, multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy treatment, to golf-, football- and tennis-specific conditioning and general mainstream personal training, the Team has an armory of application know-how to share with clients.

AN INTEGRAL PART OF When you give the body “ the right environment, YOUR EXERCISE ROUTINE the body will heal itself / “enhance itself. Power Plate is not a replacement tool for exercise; there is no magic, no secret, no powder puff. Gary Gray, Gray Institute ”

A platform engineered for you to prepare faster, perform neurologically for exercise readiness much earlier: you better and recover quicker, it’s an enhancement tool to every feel more ready to move and you are ready to move. strategy, principle, lifestyle and training goal. A better prepared body is more able to function with What do we mean by enhancement tool? complete range of motion and facilitate adaptation, not only accessing all of the benefits of every movement and Traditionally, we move on the ground. Broadly speaking, the progression much better and quicker, but preventing injury as ground doesn’t move. The body senses movement through a by-product, and hence over the longer term, accelerating our proprioceptors [position senses]. As soon as you create results. movement or stimulus [vibration], the body’s natural reflexes The accumulation of fatigue continues to take centre stage as engage, which enhances nerve-to-muscle communication a major contributor to injury risk in sport, and so recovery is for faster and heightened muscle activation. now being highlighted as the missing link in truly maximising human performance and function. Take a simple hamstring stretch performed on the ground on to the Power Plate. The vibration will trigger a reflexive response Following the same principles we refer to in the preparation in the body and accelerate the hierarchy of muscle activation, phase, the Power Plate [whole-body vibration or WBV] increasing mobility, stimulating tissue readiness and activating provides a simple-to-use, time-efficient and highly effective the nervous system, which prepares the body to move more strategy to create the optimum intrinsic environment for efficiently pre-workout much quicker.

AN INTEGRAL PART OF YOUR EXERCISE ROUTINE

Nothing can fully capture the endless movement possibilities open to a Power Plate user like a 1:1, hands-on session where freedom to move, explore and feel your way into new movements and positions is encouraged.

A user adding movement to conventional static stretches under a trainer’s direction in the preparation phase will help the user to prepare quicker thanks to an almost instant hit of added mobility to already increased stimulation. A simple cue like this is a powerful demonstration of what the product, and importantly the trainer, can do for a client.

Recovery on the plate promotes this interaction with users further. A user relaxing horizontally on the floor allowing themselves a calf massage is a “captive audience”. The two most attractive words in the world – other than “Free bar!” – are FREE MASSAGE. Only a trainer can apply tactile interaction effectively, get hands on with a client’s permission and improve the experience tenfold.
