McHenry Power Plate ® Vibrational Training
The Power Plate is a whole-body vibration (WBV) fitness equipment that provides an effective form of exercise training that optimizes health in many ways and is appropriate for all ages and abilities. The technology is engineered to apply the science behind the body’s natural response to destabilization and provides a full-body workout in as little as 30 minutes. The Power Plate platform uses a consistent, safe and controlled level of vibration that moves in three directions (up and down, front and back, and side to side). It can be used as a great workout and addition to regular physical therapy services.

How Power Plate Works
Vibration: The Power Plate generates controlled vibrations between 25-40Hz that are transmitted throughout the whole body. Using the plate can be done in several ways including while sitting, standing, or while exercising on the platform.
Stabilization Training: While performing exercises on the Power Plate, the vibrations challenge the body by creating a mild unstable surface which makes exercises more difficult. Holding posture is more challenging.
Muscle Activation: Vibration causes muscles to contract and relax similar to what occurs during weight lifting or resistance training. The contractions are so fast, and only the vibration is felt. The extra contractions challenge the muscles more than exercising without vibration making the workout load more intense.
How Much Does McHenry Power Plate Cost?
When it comes to the cost of McHenry Power Plate Therapy, our office typically charges per session. The cost will vary depending on the length of the session and whether you have insurance or not. A session will typically include the use of the Power Plate machine that delivers the vibration therapy. The vibration works at a high speed and transmits a wave of energy to stimulate, contract, and relax muscles in a consistent and controlled technique.
You may be wondering, “How much does McHenry power plate therapy cost?” Our McHenry power plate therapy treatment can range from $100-$200 per session.
