Are there contraindications that would prevent me from using whole body vibration?

         The following form is similar to the one that you should fill out and use to check with your physician before beginning any exercise program. 

     Although continuing research on whole body vibration may mean there will be additional contraindications for WBV, not every listed contraindication is an absolute no-no! 

     The Proellixe machine is different from other WBV machines, so your physician may need additional information (which Ascending Energy could provide).  For example, the Proellixe is easier on joints, better at reducing stress, and strengthens the core muscles.

     Some of these are conditions which can benefit from the Proellixe but should be monitored by a doctor.  Since we would like to be a part of your Wellness team, we realize your physician may suggest limitations. 

     For example, he/she may say it is okay to use the Proellixe at certain frequencies but not others. 

     Another example is when the doctor gives the okay for you to begin rehabilitation after a surgery or injury, the Proellixe can help speed the process and strengthen the muscles around the affected area.
