Powerplate machine helps MS patients build muscle tone

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease of the central nervous system. One of the most prevalent symptoms of MS is difficulty with balance and walking. It's important for MS patients to exercise regularly in order to maintain muscle tone and improve balance. Stretching and swimming are common exercise choices for patients with advanced MS. The Powerplate exercise machine is a good therapeutic addition to their exercise routine.

The Powerplate machine vibrates the body to help build muscle tone. In addition, the machine helps with circulation and pain relief. According to the manufacturer's website, the Powerplate machine also offers benefits to patients with Parkinson's, osteoporosis, and arthritis as it allows them the opportunity to build and tone muscle while working within their physical limitations.
