Contraindications & Effects of the TurboSonic
This list below of contraindications is not absolute. If one of the conditions listed below applies to you we strongly advise that you consult with your physician before using the Turbo Sonic. If you have any known heath concerns in addition to this list, consult your physician and advise them you wish to begin using a vibration trainer which vibrates at between 3-50 Hz (vibrations per second) and has an adjustable volume (height at which the plate vibrates up and down). Your body may endure between negative and positive 3 Gs of force for up to 10 minutes. This can be equivalent to 1 hour of strenuous cardio.

Research is still being conducted on the effects of vibration on certain medical conditions. This list may soon be reduced. Practical experience indicates that there are a number of cases where it is beneficial to integrate Turbo Sonic`s training into ones treatment. This should always be done under the supervision of a doctor, physician or trained professional.
Very frail individuals and children should be accompanied by an adult when using the TurboSonic.
Children using the TurboSonic
Children`s brains are in a developmental stage up to the age of about 12-13 years. With children, restrict use to under 3-4 min at a 50% amplitude; standing. This would include the Auto mode, or in the Manual mode at low frequency. Children seem to know intuitively when enough is enough and want to get off of the machine after about 3-4 min. Some autistic or CP children have been able to sit on the machine plate for the full 10 min. session at 10 Hz, and very low amplitude, i.e. < 30%.
