Research has shown that advanced vibration technology (also known as whole body vibration), used by professionals and sports enthusiasts around the world, has numerous and considerable medical benefits. Several studies conducted across the US and Europe have demonstrated that the technology can be used in the treatment of life-altering debilitating conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, Brachial Palsy, Autism, Multiple Sclerosis as well as Osteoporosis, Arthritis, Rheumatism, and Osteoarthritis.

'Advanced Vibration Technology is breaking new grounds in the physiotherapy and rehabilitation fields. After having examined the numerous studies that have been conducted, we are looking forward to conducting our own studies,' said Dr. Suad Trebinjac, Head of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department, Rashid Hospital. 'The machine will be used to treat patients who suffer from chronic neck and back pain, stroke and spinal cord injury, among others,' he added.

Vibration technology works by transferring the energy from the vibrating platform to the body, which then triggers rapid muscle contractions. Simple or advanced exercises, such as squats, are performed in a static or dynamic way on the platform with varying intensity, depending on the patient's level.

'Nowadays, advanced vibration technology is being employed by physicians and physiotherapists as well as athletes and famous celebrities,' explained Nelke Van Espert, CEO, Power-Plate Middle East.

In the year 2000 the first Power-Plate prototype receives an enthusiastic welcome. In response to immense global interest, sports- scientists bring their research to life and the Power-Plate begins serial production. In less than one year Power-Plate sales exceed 1,000 units. Fitness clubs, Beauty-Centres, Spas and Wellness resorts, rehabilitation facilities and medical Institutions report Power-Plate produces impressive results, including an increase in bone density, blood circulation, improved co-ordination, a higher metabolic rate, improved flexibility, stronger muscle tissue, pain dampening and a faster route to rehabilitation.

In 2005 Power-Plate starts developing the Power-Plate 'medical'. The medical market requires different types of quality and production and Power-Plate International establishes the second production site in Switzerland for the medically approved version.

In 2003 Power-Plate wins the award at the international Beautyfair in Paris as the 'Beauty machine of the year'. A certificate of quality is presented by the German wellness association describing the Power Plate as a 'Wellness machine'. The Power-Plate was also awarded as 'the best Anti-Aging Machine in the year 2005'.
