Created and developed by Clinton Rubin, PhD, of the Department of Biotechnology at Stony Brook Medicine
Impact:
Low-intensity vibration has been found to exert a range of benefits for health and is associated with no adverse effects, making it a safe and effective adjunct treatment for a wide variety of conditions. Due to its low-impact, non-invasive nature, LivMD is ideal for: seniors (especially those who are frail and at risk of falls); people with mobility and flexibility issues; athletes and others rehabilitating after injury; people with chronic pain (including fibromyalgia and arthritis); those who find it difficult to exercise; anyone with brittle bones or bone health concerns; and people with neurovestibular disease and problems balancing.
Timeline:
LivMD is the result of almost three decades of research into the effects of low-intensity vibration by Dr. Rubin.
