**3.3 Systemic vibration therapy**

In Systemic vibration therapy, the mechanical vibration produced on the vibrating platform is transmitted to the person generating an exercise throughout the whole body of the individual, the whole-body vibration exercise. Typically, the person has their feet positioned on the base of the vibrating platform, being in an orthostatic position with knees bent or sitting in an ancillary chair positioned in front of the platform [8].

There is a scientific evidence that Systemic vibration therapy can (i) improve muscle strength and potency, sleep quality, peripheral blood circulation, flexibility, functionality, balance, postural control, and quality of life; (ii) reduce pain, muscle fatigue, the risk of falling, and (iii) increase muscle fiber recruitment and bone mineral density [8, 12, 16, 22].
