Vibration training has a long and fascinating history. Its roots can be traced back to ancient Greece, where early forms of vibration were used to help warriors recover more quickly from battle. Primitive methods—such as repetitive motion from sawing wood, playing instruments, or riding donkeys—created natural vibrations that stimulated the body and supported healing.
Over time, vibration technology has evolved significantly, yet the benefits have remained consistent. Modern research shows that vibration and acceleration training can help:
* Speed recovery
* Enhance athletic performance
* Increase bone density
* Improve muscle activation
* Support balance, flexibility, and coordination
* Stimulate cognitive awareness
The science behind the Power Plate is rooted in Newton’s Second Law of Motion. By introducing controlled acceleration and vibration, the body responds with rapid muscle contractions, activating more muscle fibers in less time than traditional exercise.
Vibration technology gained global attention during the space race. NASA and other space agencies used vibration and acceleration therapy to help astronauts counteract muscle and bone loss experienced in zero gravity. In 1995, a Russian cosmonaut became the first person to spend more than 400 days in space—made possible in part by vibration training to maintain strength and bone density.
Scientists and medical professionals around the world soon adopted vibration therapy for rehabilitation, performance training, and overall wellness.

Many clients choose to incorporate the Power Plate in their private Pilates sessions for optimal results.
Maximum Results in Minimal Time
We understand that time is one of today’s greatest challenges. That’s why Power Plate sessions are just 30 minutes. This time frame is intentional—30 minutes is the maximum recommended duration due to the intensity and efficiency of vibration training.
Unlike traditional exercise, which relies on external resistance (such as dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, or resistance bands), the Power Plate uses internal forces—acceleration, vibration, and gravity—to stimulate muscles reflexively and deeply. This results in greater muscle activation in less time, often delivering results comparable to—or exceeding—traditional workouts.
