Local Yoga Instructor Works With Vibrational Therapy

Lee Ann from the Yoga Center For Healthy Living and Dr. Robert Moore at Awesome Chiropractic got together to make a video of Yoga On The VibePlate.  Vibrational therapy is being used by major athletic programs to increase the neurological benefit of exercise.

10 minutes of yoga done on the VibePlate has been documented to equate to 45 minutes of regular yoga.  That shows the impact that whole body vibration has on the body. 

Dr. Moore says that whole body vibration stimulates motion and position nerves in the body.  Your brain loves this kind of input.  These nerves can actually make your immune system work better, calm you from stress and generate healing within your body. 

We use the VibePlate after an adjustment to stimulate motion in restricted joints due to surgery, injury or long standing abuse.  What has surprised us is the results we have seen with people who have had spinal surgery, arm or leg injuries, scoliosis and mental health issues.

Here is the transcript to the video:

Hi, I’m Dr. Robert Moore at Awesome Chiropractic. I’m going to introduce to you seated ananas on the vibe plate. The reason we use the vibe plate is because it stimulates mechanoreceptors, motion nerves and proprioceptors, position nerves. Motion nerves and position nerves are the strongest and fastest nerves to your brain. Your brain actually loves them and they are the number one nutrient your brain requires. I’m going to introduce to you alter ego, Leeann from the Yoga Center for Healthy Living in Brighton. Namaste, sit comfortably and close your eyes.

Take a deep breath in, inhale, and fill your lungs. Exhale and feel your shoulders melt down away from your ears. Take another slow breath in – you’re breathing for your health, your healing journey, your well being. Consciously exhale discomfort and pain. Slowly open your eyes and as you sit tall, take your hands behind your, either hold hands with yourself or hold your elbows – whatever is more comfortable. We are going to release stress and tension in the shoulder/neck area by beginning with our chin folding forward and downward. As you drop your chin, breathe into the space between each disc and vertebrae in your neck. Then gently lift your chin up, take it to the sky, breathe into the front of your throat and neck. Now open your mouth and stretch your chin to the ceiling – good. Now pull your chin downward and forward one more time. Exhale. Inhale as you lift your face and lift your chin to sky and open your jaw, relax it and come back to center. Chin parallel to the vibe plate. Now look over your right shoulder, exhale, bring your head to center, exhale your chin over your left shoulder. Breathe back to center. One more time each side. Exhale over the right shoulder, inhale to center, exhale over the left shoulder. Come right back to center. Drop your right ear toward your right shoulder and pull the left shoulder and elbow closer to the vibe plate. Breathe into the space between your left ear and shoulder. Now lift the head and exhale. Now let your left ear float down towards your left shoulder as your right elbow pulls down toward your thigh. Breathe into the space between right ear and right shoulder – good. One more time each side. Inhale, head up right, exhale right ear to right shoulder, left shoulder downward. Inhale, head up. Exhale left ear to left shoulder, right elbow down. Inhale, head up. Pull your chin forward toward your heart. Roll your right ear up toward your right shoulder. Exhale your chin across your chest. Guide your left ear to your left shoulder, exhale chin across the chest. Right ear to right shoulder, exhale chin to chest. Left ear to left shoulder, exhale chin to chest. One more time chin to chest. As you bring your head up, gently bring your hands around to cup your knees. Round your spine to the wall behind you, tuck your chin, look down at your navel, bring your heart forward, lift your heart up and shoulder/elbows down. Round your spine again. We are trying purposely to work our spine all six directions in our limited time together. Bring your heart forward – perfect. Now as you come upright, bring your right hand to the vibe plate, lift your left hand to the ceiling, and lean to your right. Let your left arm drape to your left ear. Lift up, left hand onto the vibe plate. Right hand up to the sky – good. Now bend your left elbow, take your right fingers to the opposite wall. Inhale, right back up. Take your right hand to your left knee or thigh – whatever is more comfortable. Your left hand is going to come behind your tailbone on the vibe plate. Sit tall and keep your chin parallel to the floor. Slowly start to look over your left shoulder, keep breathing – inhale as you sit taller. Exhale your chin behind you toward the back wall. One more breath here.

Inhale back to center and switch up your arms, lift them up and float them to your right. . Left hand to right knee or thigh and right hand to your spine. Sit tall and breath in. Exhale and pull your right shoulder toward the back wall. Rotate your left shoulder to the front wall. Breathe in again. Exhale a little deeper into your twist and be gentle with your back. One more breath in and exhale behind your back. Slowly come to center. Now switch up your feet and knees to bring balance to the hips and low back as well as the knees. We are gently leaning to our right, leaning on our right hand or elbow – whichever can touch the vibe plate is fine. Take your left hand right back up to the ceiling, one more lateral bend to your right as you work your spine. Perfect. Lift up and let your left hand ground you and support you. Lift up your right arm toward the sky, lower your left elbow a little more, breathe in. Exhale to your left. Inhale all the way up. As you lower your left hand, straighten your legs. They come right off the vibe plate. Flex your toes toward your nose, lift your heels right off the floor. Now point your toes, to the wall in front of you. Flex your toes and lift your hands, breathe in. As you exhale, lower your hands to your thighs, knees, and shins. Tip-toe your fingers toward your toes. Lift your head and breath into your back, breathe into your hamstrings, breath into the tightness in the buttocks, then exhale and lower your elbows toward your knees. Lower your heart toward your knees. Smile on the way down. Breathe in that awesome smile. Exhale your forward head toward the floor. Breathe in, lift your head to the sky – good. Now bend only your left knee – you can scooch back, lift both arms up and breathe higher. Exhale forward, outward, downward. Let your hands touch your right thigh, calf, ankle – whatever you can reach. Now breath in that awesome smile. Exhale toward your heart and right leg. Now breathe into where you feel discomfort and even pain and as you exhale, let go of some of the stress you’re hanging on to – some of that discomfort no longer serves you. Breathe into your well being, exhale, reach out. Inhale up. Lower your hands and extend your left leg. Bend your right knee and put your right foot wherever it’s comfortable above or below your left knee. Inhale hands sky high, relax your shoulders, let your neck have space, breathe in and exhale outward, forward, and downward. Let your hands touch where you can reach. The fun part about this journey is over time with practice, patience, and perseverance, you’re going to reach those fingers a little further forward. One more breath in, exhale, melt your heart as you bend your elbows toward the earth. Breathe in and lower your forehead toward your left toes, stay in your breath, look up, reach out, inhale all the way out, exhale these arms down to the earth – good. Now bring the soles of your feet together to the best of your ability – your heels might be far away or close to your body. Again, you’re going to do what’s comfortable for you – hands can rest on ankles, shins, feet. Again, breathe in and feel the hips, low back, and buttocks. Breathe it in and exhale the heart closer to the earth again, bending those elbows and opening the inner thighs, stretching into the low back, one last breath here, inhale, exhale lifting up. Namaste. Have an awesome day.
