BODY DESIGN ADDS NEW TECHNOLOGY TO FITNESS, BEAUTY, WELLNESS, LONGEVITY

THERAVIBE O2 IS NOW AVAILABLE

Newport Beach, CA – Good old fashion hard work is required when it comes to getting in shape but now a new technology is changing the face of fitness. Body Design, the women’s athletic and wellness center, now offers Theravibe O2, which is a whole body vibration therapy machine that clients use for 10 minutes or less while holding different poses. Gentle enough for any age group or fitness level, Theravibe has proven benefits for fitness, beauty, wellness and longevity.

Clients can also add oxygen treatment to further increase the health and wellness benefits. It is now available at Body Design for $10 for 10 minutes and $20 for 10 minutes with oxygen.

“In over 20 years that I have been running Body Design, we have seen a lot of fitness fads come and go,” says Susan Tobiessen. “However, I think that vibration therapy with Theravine O2 is here to stay. Never before have I seen the mix of technology and fitness in this way with such dramatic results. Not to mention, my clients love that it only takes 10 minutes.”

History

• Therapeutic Whole Body Vibration (TWBV) was initially developed as a means of decreasing the loss of muscle mass and bone density when astronauts are in space. It later proved to have athletic applications, resulting in improved flexibility and strength.

• Over the years the use of whole body vibration has expanded and is now used for general health and wellness, anti-aging and beauty. A valuable complement to other therapies, it has been adopted by top professional athletes to reduce stiffness, speed injury recovery and improve agility. A broad range of healthcare professionals now offer TWBV for generic health and as a drug free treatment for a range of chronic conditions.

General Health Benefits

• Increased blood circulation, which means more oxygen and nutrition delivered to cells, especially in areas where circulation is poor as a result of injury or disease.

• Improved function of the lymphatic system, which results in improved fluid balance throughout the body, improved fatty acid distribution and improved immune function

• Overall joint health, balance, coordination and flexibility result from the influence of the gentle vibration of the joints when standing on the Theravibe platform. With each movement (occurring several times per second), the ligaments around the joint are gently stretched. The cartilage is palpated, lubricating joint surfaces. With each vibration, a flood of signals travels from the joint to the brain and then back again to the muscles to maintain posture and stability. This process improves coordination and balance will increasing the healing of the synovial cushioning around the joint with increased oxygen.

• Increased muscle activity leads to an increase in lean muscle mass, while the rhythmic tension of the tendons on the bones will cause a significant increase in bone and muscle mass which is why the TWBV was invented.

Exercise With Oxygen

• Adding oxygen to the Thervibe O2 experience adds breathing in higher concentrations of oxygen. The average person breaths in approximately 21% oxygen. When you increase the level of oxygen you are breathing it has immediate benefits including an increase in strength, endurance, and energy.

• When the blood carries oxygen to the capillaries, the oxygen must dissolve into the fluids of the body in order to reach your cells. This happens through pressure, which unfortunately, tends to decline with age. Anything from stress, lack of exercise, smoking, toxins sedentary life styles, breathing bad air or free radicals can contribute to this loss of pressure. Over time, your pressure can decrease from 100mm of arterial oxygen pressure ( Average 20 year old) 60mm ( average 70 year old).
