Vibration plates support training in many areas. They are used in physiotherapy as well as in "conventional" fitness training. A vibration plate also helps to activate the deep-lying supporting and postural muscles and thus supports muscle development. The vibration plate can also be used for targeted training against back pain and many other indications. But which vibration plate is actually the best? Find out the answer with us!
What can vibration plates be used for?
Vibration plates can be used in an extremely wide range of applications. The spectrum ranges over the following areas:
- Competitive sports

Depending on the frequency at which you train and how the device vibrates, different training goals are also covered:
Vibration plate - Which frequency?
Different frequencies are used for a variety of goals:
- 5 - 12 Hz: muscle toning and relaxation
- 8 - 10 Hz: spasticity, diseases such as Parkinson's disease
- from 10 Hz: Stimulation of osteoblasts, for example in osteoporosis
- 15 Hz and above: flaccid paralysis, for example after a stroke, improvement of body perception and attention, for example in autism or ADS
- 20 Hz and above: Central nervous effects, for example in depression or anxiety disorders
- 25 - 28 Hz: stimulation of metabolism, increase of basal metabolic rate, improvement of fat burning
Finding the best vibration plate
So, which is the best vibration plate for you depends on the purpose of your plate. In a physiotherapy practice you need a different model than for the gym, while for home use again other models come into question.
For home gym use, it's not essential that you can set your vibration plate to Hertz accuracy. A solid model that supports your fitness training is usually sufficient. For the wellness area, other criteria are decisive. Gentle, low-frequency vibrations are ideal here - a model that vibrates firmly at high frequencies is certainly not the best choice here. Of course, other qualities are required for competitive sports. And you should also differentiate in normal fitness training: A model that makes many users happy and, in addition to fitness, also boosts fat burning and trains balance is in demand here.
