Multiple benefits
Before we share the benefits, here's why we chose this technology.
After testing numerous brands, we concluded that Power Plate®, a brand we were already familiar with, outperformed the rest. Trusted in the industry for 25 years, it stands out for its patented technology, strong reputation in the medical community, multiple certifications, and exceptional durability. These qualities made it the obvious choice for our health studios.
The patented Power Plate® technology creates a more authentic environment that stimulates the body's natural reactions. It delivers all the advantages of a comprehensive workout in a fraction of the time, even without any physical movement on the platform. It functions in a three-dimensional movement, moving left to right, front to back, and up and down. This creates a unique proprioceptive stimulus that sets it apart from other devices. Power Plate®’s patented technology provides ultra-fast, low-impact micro-vibrations, ensuring no jolts or discomfort, unlike other vibration types. The experience is totally unique. Try it and feel the difference!
Enhance your muscle strength further with our programs, where cutting-edge technology meets professional expertise!
In this photo, Ms. Busque strengthens her leg simply by holding it in position for a few seconds. The platform gently moves to create an imbalance, causing the muscles to contract and thus strengthen, without any pressure on the joints, while stimulating circulation. By varying positions, you can target all muscles of the body, sometimes even in a seated position to strengthen the back. With 40 years of experience in the field, we know that hours of traditional exercise could never strengthen as much.
In 2016, we innovated by integrating a unique and patented technology into our programs, making them more effective in addressing the challenges of aging. Our senior clientele is unanimous: the benefits far exceed those of traditional exercises!
It is well-known that the effectiveness of exercise tends to decrease with age, and it’s important to highlight that governments are making significant financial efforts to promote physical activity among seniors. Statistics reveal a widespread lack of activity, with repercussions on our healthcare system. It is therefore essential to find ways to optimize the results of these investments.
Our clients have shared that exercises are less effective as they age, and the lack of noticeable progress makes it difficult to stay motivated. However, here, we see tangible results from one session to the next, without requiring too much time or effort!
Motivated by the results obtained from our clientele aged 50 to 80, we launched a pilot project in a senior community. We aimed to showcase the effectiveness of our programs with this audience, gather compelling evidence, and tailor the program for seamless in-house implementation. The participation rate was so high that we ended up booking full weeks in advance. Mission accomplished!
ZERO FRACTURE among our members in 10 years
Every year in Quebec, one in three people over the age of 65 and one in two over the age of 80 fall, putting them at risk of losing their independence.
The decrease in muscle strength, lack of balance, and loss of bone density often contribute to numerous fractures. Dr. Conviser uses this technologie in this practice. He considers this program much more effective, as it enables simultaneous work on these three fronts. The visible progress from one session to the next encourages people to continue.
By maintaining a position for a few seconds, without lifting weights and without exerting pressure on the joints, we can increase muscle strength. The platform creates an imbalance, thus causing a contraction of the muscles to maintain stability. This approach trains the muscles to instinctively reposition during an imbalance while slower reflexes or simply the fear of falling can cause a fall. Moreover, several medical studies highlight the increase in bone density, range of motion, and suggest a strong potential for positive interference to improve cognitive abilities.
For many seniors, falling is the triggering or aggravating event of a loss of independence and mobility. Among seniors who survive a hip fracture, half never fully regain their functional abilities; between 13 and 20% will have to go to a residence and a fifth of them die within six months.
Power Plate® technology, is effective for maintaining stronger bones.
Dr Alain Pigné: "Power Plate® offers a side-effect-free solution applicable to everyone. Not only does it limit the loss of bone density but it is a way to regain the loss."
Our bones are constantly being renewed through a natural process that replaces old bone with new bone. Over time, however, this process becomes less efficient, and our bones gradually lose bone tissue. As a result, bones become thin and brittle, and can cause pain.
Power Plate® can help improve bone density through its gentle and low-impact micro-vibrations. Several medical studies suggest this. Our founder discovered Power Plate® while seeking a non-medication solution to her bone degeneration issue. While results may vary, she was able to stop the medication and maintained her gains over time.
MORE BENEFITS
Your range of motion will be better. Let’s mention our 87-year-old client who, after losing the flexibility needed to bend down and tie her shoes, was able to do so by herself after a few sessions, whereas stretching exercises before using this technology had not helped her. By improving your flexibility, you reduce the risk of injuries and make daily tasks easier to perform.
You will have less stiffness and joint pain. Joint stiffness is sometimes common in the morning or after a period of inactivity. Joint pain is a sensation of pain or discomfort in a joint and can occur at rest or during movement. The technology has a massage mode that stimulates circulation and helps reduce inflammation. It is useful for relieving various problems such as arthritis, stiffness, heavy legs, cramps, swelling, numbness, and even back pain. For example, people suffering from stiffness in their fingers get their hands massaged, and it relieves them!
Do exercises cause you pain and discourage you? This technology is a solution for you and for people less inclined to exercise. It puts no pressure on the joints and does not require strenuous effort, and in just a few minutes, it feels good. You work gently, can gradually increase your efforts, and even do cardio if you wish.
Power Plate® is certified NEAT™ by Mayo Clinic, which means it allows for energy expenditure (burning calories) often sought by people for weight management but who cannot engage in very intense physical activities.
Two short sessions of 15 to 25 minutes per week will make you feel better. If you have a Power Plate® at home have a device at home, you can use it for a few minutes each day for unparalleled well-being!
We invite you to read the medical studies showing that this technology improves a wide range of cognitive functions in adults.
