What is Tone in Ten?
Tone in Ten, otherwise known as Whole Body Vibration Therapy consists of a 10 minute low amplitude, high frequency stimulation (shaking) of the body for a host of physical benefits. You stand on a vibrating platform, while you body “shakes” with the movement stimulating the cells in your muscles throughout your body.
How does it work?
The vibrations go through the body resulting in intense muscle fiber contractions 30-50 times per second thus increasing bone density, muscle strength, flexibility and range of motion. The quick contraction of muscle fibers not only create flexibility, but also burn fat, increase metabolism, improve circulation, improve cellular oxygen and nutrient delivery which slow the degenerative/ aging process.
What are the benefits?
- Increases bone density, strengthening bone
- Rapid inch loss
- Drains the lymphatic system

- Increases Testosterone, Human Growth Hormones and Intrinsic Growth Factor 1: all hormones involved in repair and regeneration of your tissues
- Relieve stress and anti-aging
- Reduces aches and pains
- Increased flexibility and range of motion
- Enhances conventional training results
- Enhance training recovery
- Improved collagen production
- Reduced appearance of cellulite
- Stronger muscles

Who can benefit?
WBV treatments benefit anyone who wants to increase their energy levels, strengthen muscles and improve general health. Seniors particularly benefit from treatments because it is a non strenuous activity. WBV dramatically eases the pain and discomfort of osteoarthritis, rheumatism and people suffering from fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome may also benefit from increased blood circulation and range of motion. Health Canada recommends Whole Body Vibration therapy as one of the therapies used in the treatment of osteoporosis. Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis have shown marked improvements in the ability to move with more ease through the muscle strengthening and improved circulation.
