Vibration therapy (VT) is the transfer of vibration to your body that causes the muscles to contract and relax.  The direction and intensity of the vibrations determine its effectiveness.  There are two types of VT, namely whole-body vibration (WBV) and localised vibration.  The health benefits of VT include increasing bone density, increasing muscle mass, improving circulation, reducing joint pain, alleviating stress, and it may temporarily provide spasm relief specifically in relation to neurological injuries. Alternatively, the risks of VT include the use of blood thinners, patients who have heart disease, and females during pregnancy.   Cochrane DJ, North P, Zealand N.
