Power Plate equipment is the premium vibration device powering a new dimension in wellness solutions for all ages, lifestyles and physical abilities.  It uses the principles of Acceleration Training to stimulate the body's natural response to vibration.  These vibrations transmit waves of energy throughout the body, activating muscle contractions between 25 and 50 times per second.  Acceleration Training on the Power Plate offers a host of benefits such as improved:

• Muscle Strength

• Flexibility

• Bone Density

• Mobility

• Balance

• Blood Circulation 

These benefits extend to increased lymphatic drainage critical to detoxification and eliminating cellulite, increased release of key hormones that enhance the look and condition of skin, as well as increased metabolic rate to expedite weight loss.

Research has also reinforced the Power-Plate's ability to reduce muscle pain and soreness, and expedite the recovery of damaged muscles and tendons.  The Power Plate has been used to treat both painful conditions such as sciatica and painful arthritic joints and neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease and Multiple Sclerosis.  It is also used to combat osteoporosis and balance problems in the elderly population. 

Align Chiropractic Center will be offering Power Plate therapy as an adjunct to regular chiropractic adjustments at no additional cost.  For those who wish to increase their overall fitness level and/or combat osteoporosis, we will also offer personal training sessions with a licensed personal trainer.  I personally love this new therapy and have incorporated into my own fitness and healing routine. Please call me at 510-654-2207 to learn more. 

The Power Plate and its innovative Acceleration Training method has gained popularity thanks in large part to reported use by high-profile global celebrities including Madonna, Heidi Klum, Hilary Swank, Cindy Crawford, George Clooney, P-Diddy, Clint Eastwood, Elle McPherson, Claudia Schiffer and Martha Stewart, among many others.  The product's initial introduction in the U.S. came by way of elite athletic trainers and athletes in collegiate and professional sports.  The Power Plate is used on the PGA tour and the NFL and NHL both use the Power Plate to train and heal their athletes.
