Welcome to this on-air with Ella minisode, a little bite-sized boost to your day, always quick,

Whole body vibration therapy. It's been around, actually, since the late 19th century.

But toward the 1960s during the space race, the Russians discovered that

vibrations could be used to strengthen bone mass and muscles of their astronauts. And so NASA has

also adopted this technology, and we have started to learn more about it even more recently.

And there are quite a few studies that are behind everything I'm

going to share today in addition to my own personal experience. For today's conversation,

I didn't just create a few bullet points. I created an entire blog. So I've linked studies. I've

linked articles if you want to read more about this and then I linked to the vibration platform that I

bought like there's a whole blog on whole body vibration therapy on the site for you so you can jump

into that in the show notes okay it's at onair ella dot com I started using whole body vibration

therapy recently can we just call it vibration therapy going forward,

please? That's a lot. But I've seen it in gyms before. I've seen it in like health spaces before.

And those platforms that you stand on and it may or may not have railings, usually at a gym,

it does. And you hold onto it and it just vibrates your whole body. And I always thought that it was

kind of a gimmick to be dead straight with you.

And I was traveling and I used one at a gym. And it made me feel so much less sore. Like it got

rid of the lactic acid buildup so amazingly, you know, in like two minutes that I was like,

okay, maybe there's something to this. Maybe NASA knows something that I actually do not. It's entirely possible. So when I started reading more about it,

for reasons that will be revealed in time, I ended up buying a vibration platform for my house,

nothing like these commercial grade ones. Okay. Mine came from Amazon. It was a couple hundred
