Are the contraindications absolute?
The list of contra-indications is a list of all medical conditions that would be a reason to advise against using the “WBV” Device. This does not mean that if you are suffering from any of the conditions on the list, you could never user the “WBV” Device at all. In a number of cases it is highly recommended to integrate vibration training in a treatment plan. Of course, this would have to be under medical advice of a doctor, specialist or physiotherapist, and under strict supervision of an instructor. Because there are several studies being conducted at this time on the effects of vibration training on several physical problems, the list of contra-indications may be adjusted in the future. Some empirical studies have shown that there is an entire range of conditions where vibration training may play an important part, such as C.V.A. (cerebro-vascular accidents, also known as a stroke) and Parkinson’s disease.
