Developing the ability of a joint to move the full range is a great challenge. At the same time, it is this ability, called ‘joint flexibility’ that helps prevent injuries, improves general capability of joints, increases muscle size and ensures loose and free movement.

Our joints are surrounded by soft tissues and non-flexible muscles that bear most of the workload, which often leads to joint pain. Poor flexibility results in poor joint lubrication (due to lack of synovial fluid in the joint area). It affects the cartilage that covers the joint up on the inside. Many athletes, especially body-builders, experience back pain. The pain is caused by increased pressure on spinal nerves, resulting from vertebral malformations. Poor spinal and pelvic flexibility, as well as insufficient knee range of motion, are likely to cause the malformation of the lower spine, which, in turn, can cause the pelvis to shift forward.

Good flexibility in the aforementioned areas guarantees correct bearing. Research has shown that cardiovascular deterioration due to lack of physical work becomes apparent at 17 years of age, and flexibility issues occur at 14 years of age. Lack of flexibility affects the function of joints and leads to chronic inability to easily get up from a sofa or take something off from the top shelf. Flexibility is not an all-round condition. Good flexibility in one joint will not improve the movement of another one. Each joint must be cared for separately.

This is exactly why the Vibra Pro 5500 vibration training machines are so good. They bring flexibility to ALL joints! Regular training sessions improve blood circulation in joint areas and stimulate the growth of the cartilage. This improves general flexibility and increases the range of movement.
