SONIX - Vibrational Exercise Machines

The Sonix is the only true vibrational plate that is really 'sound actuated', with a accurate frequency range of 3hz to 50 Hz (1 Hz increments). The Sonix base plate motor, is a strong magnetic voice coil (speaker). Other companies have tried to copy the patented Sonic design however they actually have a linear motor or several small linear motors that respond to a sound frequency chip and that's the end of the similarity. The motion is then transferred to the plate via mechanical actuation rods. If they are a true Sonic actuated like the Sonix they should be able to play music, or plug an ipod/Mp3 into the device.

Only Sonic Life implements sound frequency-based technology with an exclusive patent. We call this method Sonic Whole Body Vibration (SWBV). Sonic Life uses sound frequency technology to create the Whole Body Vibration rather than subjecting our bodies to an unnatural mechanical vibration. The body's physiological reaction to sound frequencies as opposed to mechanical vibration can be likened to your physical and energetic response to, for example, great seats at the symphony vs. holding onto a jackhammer. The sonic frequencies of the symphony heighten your senses and relax your body, filling you with positive energy and encouraging cellular harmony. Holding onto the jackhammer causes resistance, physiological stress and the corresponding release of negative stress hormones. Scientific research categorizes these symptoms under the term, "Mechanical Abrasion".

From a scientific standpoint, each Sine Wave frequency creating Sound has a curve at the end of the frequency creating tonal transitions that are smooth and therefore natural. This creates soothing, healing movement of energy throughout the body. In contrast, mechanical frequencies are very abrupt, jarring and stressful to the body and can cause increasing negative hormonal stress responses, potentially causing harm.

The difference is simple and the benefits are easy to feel. It takes only 10 minutes!

There are two basic types of (WBV) movements: WBV & SWBV

What is WBV (Whole Body Vibration)?
WBV is a platform that vibrates while the user stands, sits, etc., on it. Exercises can be performed while on the platform, which will have a different effect on the body compared to performing these exercises while on solid ground. The biological reaction to vibration is dependent on the frequency, magnitude, duration and type of vibration - or how often, how much and how long the vibratory stimulus is. There is an involuntary muscular response to vibration; the muscle contracts and relaxes at the same rate as the Hz set on the WBV unit. Specific WBV frequencies make muscles contract more often and to a greater degree. For example, if the unit is set to 30Hz for 30 seconds, the muscle will contract and relax 900 times.

What is SWBV (Sonic whole body vibration)?
Sonic Whole-Body Vibration (SWBV) employs a speaker system with new magnetic circuits, rather than vibration spin motors. SWBV works to overcome all negative aspects of vibration motors. Vibration spin motors have excessive noise, an unnatural directions of vibration, harsh direction changes, and can create a stress response in the body. SWBV which is in a natural vertical plane of motion, has fully adjustable intensity, and is a true sine wave directional change. All of which results in a much more enjoyable and healthy vibrational exercise experience. Mechanical WBV simply cannot function at the level that SWBV does. Many types of intermediate sports, like walking, power walking, horse riding, etc. are all performed at low frequencies, between 1 ~ 8 Hz. It is now possible with SWBV to exercise at these ultra low frequencies. The movements are only vertical, which is the direction we experience through most of our physical activities.

The cell's electrical potential is an indicator of one's overall health. When it is low, one's cells lose their ability to function properly, leading to fatigue, lower vitality, and weakened immunity. Live blood samples of an someone who is unhealthy; their cells are clumped together and lifeless.

After only 10 minutes on the Sonix WBV, cells are energized gaining cell voltage separating them from other blood cells and returning them to a functional state.

The energy level or health of a cell can actually be measured in millivolts. According to Nobel Prize winner Otto Warburg, healthy cells have cell voltages of 70 to 90 millivolts with an overall negative charge. Due to the constant stresses of modern life, a toxic diet and environment, cell voltage tends to drop, becoming even more depleted as we age or get sick.

It is notable that just 10 minutes of Sonic WBV had a positive effect on the unhealthy blood cells. It is also important to know that consistent use of this technology for an extended period of time is necessary to return cells to a continuous, fully healthy state, with a cell voltage that remains high enough to initiate a natural healing response within the body.

And again, simply mechanically vibrating the cells is not the same as increasing cellular voltage. With Sonic WBV, the cells vibrate in response to the sound wave stimulation, which increases the electrical potential or voltage of the cell.

Focus on Prevention
There are so many chronic disorders, aches and pains, that are currently only managed with a life-time of discomfort, or prescriptions that rob us of our quality of life and subject us to surviving numerous negative side effects. Why not explore another direction of preventative health, wellness and fitness? Our aim is to release the energy blockages, and help correct imbalances at their source, by helping to create a strong healthy body and immune system, so that the body can heal itself. To accomplish this, we must exercise, move lymphatic fluids, and increase circulation and energy in the cells so that they can function more effectively. Sonix WBV Exercise is a healthful tool to assist with this process.

Stagnant Fluid Movement
Another major cause of overall vitality loss is stagnation of lymphatic and other body fluids. Unlike changing the oil in our cars, we cannot remove dirty, stagnant fluids in our body and replace them. Rather than replacing our fluids, we must stimulate circulation to facilitate detoxification and enhance the flow of energy throughout our bodies. As blood and lymph circulate through our bodies, they remove toxins and other waste products. Exercise and good circulation help increase the flow of our vital fluids and assist in the removal of these harmful elements.

It is said that the lymphatic system is the most neglected system of the body. Even orthodox medicine is looking to this system as being the leading cause of many disorders in the body. Lymphatic message has become a popular modality for addressing the congestion and release of toxins. Sonix WBV is the most effective tool I have ever seen for the movement and release of congested, stagnant lymphatic fluids.

An Overview of the Circulation of Fluids
Consider the circulatory system. The heart is the pump, which pushes the blood through our arteries, supplying our cells with oxygen and nutrients. Once the blood has delivered the oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, it then removes the undesirable carbon dioxide and waste products via the lungs. Moving that deoxygenated venous blood back to the heart is both critical and challenging, because it partially relies on muscle action and one-way valves to get the blood back. This is the basis for the recommendations of vascular/cardio exercise routines promoted by the MDs.

An even greater challenge is to circulate the lymphatic fluids. Lymphatic vessels parallel veins and arteries throughout your body and are also essential for removing toxins from your blood stream. But unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system does not have a pump and relies entirely on one-way valves and muscle contractions to move fluid. This is where Sonic WBV PE assists in moving these stagnant fluids out of the body. Like active exercise, Sonic PE WBV will stimulate the cells; energize muscles, and effectively move blood and lymphatic fluid, so your body can function more efficiently. If any of these fluids stagnate, or don;t flow freely, the toxins and wastes will accumulate in our bodies. This may lead to fatigue, aches and pain, lose of vital energy, etc.

By stimulating the cells and systems that remove toxins from your body, exercising muscles, stimulating organ tissue, releasing stubborn fat, increasing cellular vitality, strengthening bones, and raising energy levels, SONIX Fitness will put you on the path to creating a Fit, healthier, energized, better feeling, YOU!

Whole Body Vibration therapy started with a Swedish doctor, Gustav Zander, in 1857. He designed several types of vibration exercise. He started the Zander Institutes after exhibiting at 2 Worlds fairs.

In 1895 Battle Creek, Michigan, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, inventor of corn flakes, invented a whole-body vibration machine which was a chair design that shook and claimed to cure constipation, headaches and back pain. He also developed a standing platform for stimulating the organs.

In 1960 began what would be today's whole body vibration exercise devices that began in East Germany using a technique titled rhythmic neuromuscular stimulation.

Then Russian scientists began studies of Whole Body Vibration and furthered the technology. They used this vibration technology in rehabilitating their astronauts when returning from space to help increase bone density and repair muscles that had atrophied. These scientists believed a form of therapy that used hyper gravitational force could yield as an effective treatment. A Russian researcher, Vladimir Nazarov, found it increased bone density and strengthened muscle tissue. They also used the whole body therapy to prevent injuries for their Olympic athletes.

NASA, professional athletes, medical centers, spas and health clubs have incorporated this technology.

The VibraTrim unit has adjustable vibrations from 10-50 Hz by a oscillating vibration. The VibraTrim generates muscle contractions with less G force than other types of systems that use a the "piston" style design. The piston style uses a straight up & down motion similar to a jackhammer. This "up and down" piston motion is known to cause problems resulting in bad backs and other various body areas.

Science has learned that the human body adapts to various stressors and stimuli. The Whole Body Vibration produces amazing results as a result of that adaptation process. When you stand on your VibraTrim, the vibration energy is transferred to your entire body. This first stimulates receptors in the Achilles tendon that stimulate nerve receptors, which track up to the cerebellum (the part of the brain that is responsible for balance). This pleasant vibrating action causes the brain to tell the muscles of your body to actively contract to maintain its equilibrium, thus creating a therapeutic and muscle-toning workout.
