How effective is vibration therapy in improving Glenohumeral internal rotation?

In 2016, a study led by W. Steven Tucker and Stephen W. Slone has highlighted the potential benefits of combining proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching with vibration therapy to improve shoulder mobility in athletes suffering from Glenohumeral Internal-Rotation Deficit (GIRD). This condition, commonly affecting overhead athletes, can lead to a reduced range of motion in the shoulder, limiting performance and increasing the risk of injury. … Continue reading How effective is vibration therapy in improving Glenohumeral internal rotation?

Does vibration therapy speed up post-exercise muscle recovery?

In 2011, a study has demonstrated the beneficial effects of vibration therapy on alleviating delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and enhancing the recovery of range of motion following eccentric exercise, although it shows no significant impact on muscle strength recovery or serum creatine kinase levels. Exercise enthusiasts and athletes alike are no strangers to the discomfort of delayed-onset muscle soreness, typically experienced after intense or unfamiliar … Continue reading Does vibration therapy speed up post-exercise muscle recovery?

Do Vibration Therapy and Massage Have Different Effects on Muscle Recovery after Exercise?

In 2014, Imtiyaz, et. al., conducted study about Muscle soreness, known as Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS), which is a common consequence of intense exercise. DOMS can lead to discomfort and reduced performance. Various strategies, such as vibration therapy and massage, have been proposed to alleviate DOMS. In this study, researchers aimed to compare the effectiveness of vibration therapy and massage in preventing DOMS in … Continue reading Do Vibration Therapy and Massage Have Different Effects on Muscle Recovery after Exercise?
