3.4 The First “fitvibe medical Pro” Treatment Session
For the very first treatment, it is important to get used to the plate’s vibrations. One way of doing this is to
experience the unit’s vibration at a low frequency such as 20 Hz (over
“Quick start”
from the main menu
this frequency can be selected), first with just one foot on the plate and then with the other foot. Then in
the ‘calf’ position (standing on tips of the toe) on the plate, with the knees bent. Always stand on the tips
of the toe at first, so that the vibrations can be absorbed as much as possible by the calves and upper
legs.
You should never stand on the plate with your limbs locked straight (arms or legs, depending on the
starting position). This is because the muscles don’t get the chance to absorb the vibrations if the limbs
are straight, and the vibration is transmitted through the skeleton to the skull. If the users can feel the
vibrations in their head (noticeable in the voice and/or the eyes), then they are not standing properly on
the vibration plate and the initial position must be corrected.
For abdominal muscle exercises, you sit on the plate; you must first get used to the vibration before
starting with these exercises.
3.5 When should the treatment be stopped early?
The treatment should be stopped as soon as any symptoms of over fatigue arise, in order to prevent over
fatigue and/or injuries.
your muscles tense uncontrollably during static exercises,
movement is no longer rhythmic and smooth during dynamic exercises,
you feel dizziness while treatment,
you feel pain while treatment,
you feel unwell, nauseous or experience cramping.
