I would love to see a study on using Whole Body Vibration as it seems to have some effect on bone density in patients with osteoporosis and may assist with flexibility without aggressive stretching. I spend my whole day wondering…LOL
Good comments Colin.. I have had similar musings! I think there is probably an argument here for specific taping.. but the big question is… where?
