Vibration therapy is a modern rehabilitation technique that uses controlled mechanical vibrations to stimulate muscles, improve circulation and aid recovery. At Fit2Function Clinic in Oxford Circus, we incorporate vibration therapy into treatment plans to help with injury recovery, muscle activation and flexibility. It’s a safe, low-impact method often used alongside Physiotherapy, exercise rehab or massage to enhance results and speed up healing.
What is Vibration Therapy?
Vibration therapy involves applying gentle mechanical vibrations to the body to stimulate muscles and tissues. These vibrations help increase blood flow, activate muscle fibres and improve neuromuscular coordination. The therapy can be delivered through a vibration platform, handheld device or targeted pads depending on the treatment area. It’s often used to complement rehab exercises or warm-ups by improving circulation and enhancing muscle responsiveness. At our Oxford Circus clinic, vibration therapy is tailored to each client’s needs, whether it’s for reducing stiffness, improving muscle control or supporting recovery after injury. The treatment is non invasive, comfortable and can be used across a wide range of conditions and fitness levels.
Who Can Benefit From Vibration Therapy
Vibration therapy is suitable for people recovering from injury, dealing with poor circulation, or looking to enhance flexibility and mobility. It’s especially effective for clients experiencing muscle weakness, stiffness, postural issues or reduced neuromuscular control. We often use it with clients who have back pain, joint stiffness, neurological conditions or after surgery where activation of deep muscle groups is required. Athletes also use vibration therapy to boost performance and accelerate recovery from intense training. At Fit2Function in Oxford Circus, we incorporate vibration therapy into rehabilitation and performance plans to support faster, more complete recovery with minimal strain on the joints.
What Does Vibration Therapy Involve?
During your session, your therapist will use a handheld treatment device and apply gentle targeted vibration to the desired area & muscle groups. You will feel a gentle vibration or pulsing sensation, which is completely safe and comfortable. Most sessions last 10-20 minutes and are often combined at our clinic with rehab exercises, manual therapy, shockwave and laser therapy. At our Oxford Circus clinic, vibration therapy is always delivered under expert supervision to ensure it fits your overall recovery plan.
Benefits And Outcomes Of Vibration Therapy Treatment
Vibration therapy helps improve circulation, increase flexibility, activate underused muscles and reduce stiffness. It enhances muscular responsiveness and coordination, making it easier to regain strength and movement after injury or inactivity. Clients often experience improved balance, better range of motion, and faster post-exercise recovery. It’s also a useful tool for reducing pain and inflammation in certain conditions. Whether used alone or alongside Physiotherapy, vibration therapy at Fit2Function Oxford Circus supports your recovery goals by making treatments more effective and efficient. It’s gentle, adaptable and especially valuable for clients who may struggle with traditional strength exercises in early rehab stages.
