ORTHOMETRIX.NET : Orthometrix, Inc. Launches The VibraFlex Home Edition, A New Patented Whole Body Vibration Model For The Home Fitness Market

Orthometrix, Inc. announced that it has launched the VibraFlex® Home Edition, its first Whole Body Vibration model designed specifically for the home market. The VibraFlex® is a patented motorized exercise system used to facilitate exercise by individuals with conditions affecting muscle, tendons and ligaments; poor muscle strength and coordination; and poor blood circulation (spinal cord injuries, Osteoarthritis, Incontinence, Diabetes, and Parkinson’s Disease). In 2001, the Company received from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) a written acknowledgement that devices using this technology may be marketed as Class I device intended for exercise in connection with such conditions. After being used primarily in rehabilitation and physical therapy, the VibraFlex® started to penetrate the sports and fitness markets. Today, units are used by star athletes and major professional teams (NBA, MLB, NFL, etc…), as well as fitness clubs (New York Sports Clubs, Gold’s Gym, etc…). Earlier this year, the VibraFlex® 500 was named one of three overall best new product winners out of over 300 new products as voted by Professional Golf Association (PGA) members and buyers at the 2006 PGA Merchandise Show in Orland, Florida.
