The book is intended to support the experts who are working with their clients using whole body vibration (WBV). Trainers will find a great deal of detailed information that they can use as they work with their clients. I use a Power Plate and have viewed every piece of research available to understand why I'm doing what I'm doing and what benefits are supposed to result from it. This book not only references research articles in a handy chart to save time and to keep all the information in one place, but is also helpful in application. I wish it had been available earlier. I would have saved many hours of research.
Most "home users" probably will want to skip to the "How-To" pictures and apply them. For that alone, the book is an excellent resource. I had an arm injury that doctors said would never be better. I took a chance, ordered my machine, and my arm is now painless, the range of motion is greatly improved, and I'm stronger. I continue to be interested in the latest scientific conclusions, particularly in avoiding osteoporosis and other age-related topics. In addition, the provides access to a web site with 35 exercise video clips. The exercises clips load quickly and contain demonstrations that are simple and easy to follow. Good resource!
