The Power Plate was invented by Guus van der Meer, a member of the Olympic coaching team in the Netherlands and noted innovator in the field of exercise and athletic training. Seeking ways to improve conditioning and performance of elite athletes, van der Meer uncovered research on whole body vibration exercises that had been performed by scientists in Russia and Eastern Europe.
Intrigued, he investigated whole body vibratory-training equipment
and evaluated it's suitability for athletes under his supervision.
Dissatisfied with the quality of available vibration training devices,
van der Meer assembled a team of designers, engineers and manufacturers
to develop a superior machine. Finding that only precisely calibrated
frequencies and amplitudes could unleash the potential of their unit,
and engage the body correctly, they created Advanced Vibration Technology©,
which is a form of scientifically calibrated Whole Body Vibration.
These calibrations consist of a series of scientifically measured
frequency levels that produce quantitative results.
Although originally developed to train elite athletes, it was soon
discovered that Power Plate's Advanced Vibration Technology, and
Advanced Body Vibration© as it is also known, has nearly unlimited
benefits for physical therapy, longevity and anti-aging, sports rehabilitation,
beauty and wellness, alternative medicine, fighting osteoporosis
and far more.
Vibrational Health & Fitness is consistently proving through on-going
scientific research that it is a remarkable machine with limitless
applications. Studies are done year-round on the Power Plate, as
new benefits and key applications are validated all the time.
The Power Plate was introduced in the Netherlands in 1999 and today is licensed for distribution in over twenty-four countries including Italy, Spain, France, The U.K., Japan, China, Korea, Canada and the United States. It is widely used by professional sports teams, training centers, rehab/medical facilities, health clubs and private homes.
