The Technology
The technology behind the Power Plate® machine first helped Russian cosmonauts fight the effects of zero gravity – which can affect bone density and muscle strength. Today, independent studies continue to show the Power Plate machine’s potential to increase bone mineral density and improve muscle strength.
Here is an example of the exercises we use at Balanced Fitness with the PowerPlate.
Fitness and Beauty Benefits
Using the Power Plate® machine helps stimulate an immediate increase in circulation, oxygenating the blood and improving the removal of toxins. This can help to reduce the appearance of cellulite, for a smoother, sleeker silhouette.

Health & Wellbeing
The vibrations produced by the Power Plate® machine stimulate the muscle pump effect, which causes an immediate increase in blood flow. This can improve the body’s ability to transport oxygen, macro- and micro-nutrients around the body, as well as dispersing waste products such as lactic acid more efficiently.
Relaxation
More than just an exercise machine, the Power Plate® machine offers the capacity for whole body massage and relaxation. It passively works all the muscle groups in the body, increasing circulation instantly, and aiding in the relief of pain, for enhanced relaxation.

Eat like your ancestors
Are you more meat eater than plant eater?
Did you know that your body’s biochemical makeup is as unique as your fingerprints! For genetic reasons, we’re all very different in the way that our bodies process foods and utilise nutrients.
Throughout man’s evolutionary history, people all over the world have been forced to adapt to widely varying environmental circumstances – including very different climates and food supplies.
Therefore we should be eating foods based upon our ancestors diets and genetics and not according to what is available at the local supermarket. If it’s in a wrapper and your grandparents didn’t eat it, then it’s probably not designed for you.
I found the combination of physiotherapy and personal training that is available at Balanced Fitness and Physiotherapy ideal for sports injury rehabilitation.
Their preventative approach, expert advice and the use of the gym ensures a healthy approach to exercise and wellbeing.
