ABOUT THE FLEXI-BAR®

 

 

Whether you use it for strength and endurance training, or for specific rehabilitation purposes, the FLEXI-BAR® is unbeatable for its effectiveness.

 

Everyone, from athletes to the elderly can use the FLEXI-BAR® to achieve their desired results. Whether you are recovering from an injury, training for a performance sport, or just interested in improving your fitness, then the FLEXI-BAR® is for you.

Because FLEXI-BAR® utilises vibration training to work the deep muscles of the core (muscles that attach to the spine) you can expect to feel dramatic results, FAST !

 

 

What is Vibration Training?

 

The concept of vibration training has been around for more than 40 years. It was originally developed by Russian scientists as part of their space program to help their cosmonauts maintain their physical condition. In particular their aim was to reduce loss of muscle mass and maintain bone density. The most common vibration training devices come in the form of large expensive machines. However with its recent popularity, more and more types of vibrating equipment are now available – some better than others. Other items include vibrating dumbbells, breathing machines and handheld devices such as the FLEXI-BAR®.

There is some uncertainty about the precise magnitude that vibration training has on the body however there is no doubt that there is a significant physiological effect. Vibration training is known to recruit up to 100% of muscle fibres in each contraction. Standard training recruits 40%-60%. This is because of the almost continuous stretch/reflex contractions ( see below) that are happening within the muscles. With the muscles contracting at such high frequencies, almost everything is stimulated faster and more effectively. Muscular blood flow is improved, which can speed up recovery from workouts and injuries. Increased blood flow restores nutrients to muscles cells as well as removing any toxic waste and damaged tissue.

Vibration training will cut your workout time in half, so you will never be tempted to “cut short” your workout time – now there is no need to.

If you are training with a piece of equipment that vibrates, providing it is good quality, you can expect fast & effective results. Vibration training is a revolution in the fitness world and will transform your daily workouts.

 

 

HOW DOES THE FLEXI-BAR WORKS?

 

FLEXI-BAR® works all of the muscles of the entire body. The action of shaking the FLEXI-BAR® causes a vibration to be passed through the body. This vibration pushes, or stretches the muscles out of their natural alignment. This misalignment sends an automatic message to the brain, via the nervous system, that the muscles have been stretched. The brain sends a message back to the stretched muscles to “contract” or shorten, in an effort to bring them back to their “centre”, or state of equilibrium.

 

This type of contraction is known as a “Stretch Reflex Contraction” and is a form of contraction that we physically cannot control or create. It is created by an outside force – such as using a

FLEXI-BAR®. These types of contractions use up to 100% of muscle fibre, compared to 40-60% recruitment of traditional training techniques.

 

 

FLEXI-BAR INDICATIONS

 

FLEXI-BAR is beneficial for everybody in every stage of their lives.

We recommend FLEXI-BAR training for:

  • Ageing Populations
  • Inactive and Unfit or immobile Groups
  • Pre & Post Natal Clients
  • Sports Specific Training
  • Injury Prevention
  • Injury Rehabilitation

 

 

 

 

FLEXI-BAR CONTRAINDICATIONS

 

 

Due to the significant increase in blood flow that the muscles receive in response to the vibrations FLEXI-BAR is not recommended for anyone suffering from any type of ACUTE injury. An acute injury is any type of injury that is new and inflamed. If you are suffering from any type of CHRONIC injury, generally FLEXI-BAR will have a positive effect. However, please don’t use the FLEXI-BAR if your chronic injury is inflamed or acutely painful.

DO NOT USE THE FLEXI-BAR in the following situations:

  • Acute Rheumatoid Arthritis in the inflammation stage
  • Acute injuries e.g whiplash
  • Acute Infections/Swelling
  • Acute Back pain
  • 3rd Trimester Pregnancy
  • After a recent Operation
  • Cardiovascular Disorders

 

We recommend that anyone embarking on a new fitness regime get the OK from their GP.
