What is Bodyflow vibration therapy?

Bodyflow is a vibration of the tissue using electrical stimulation. It delivers gentlel vibration /contractions through applicator electrodes placed on or near the treatment area. That vibration is thought to help stimulate circulation and lymphatic drainage, the body's own system for clearing excess fluid and waste from tissue, which is why it's used by lymphoedema practitioners as part of a wider management plan alongside compression and manual lymphatic drainage.

How is it used for tissue recovery in sport?

Outside lymphoedema clinics, vibration therapy is also used in sports and rehabilitation settings to support recovery after training (DOMs) or injury. Practitioners use it alongside other treatments to help ease muscle tension and support the body's own recovery process, rather than as a standalone treatment.

Is vibration therapy the same as a vibration plate?

No. A whole-body vibration plate is a fitness product you stand on. Bodyflow is a clinical device that applies targeted vibration through electrodes to a specific area, used under practitioner guidance for lymphoedema and tissue recovery rather than general fitness.
