smovey VIBROSWING-System and Parkinson's in motion

The number of people suffering from Parkinson's disease is constantly increasing. In addition to medication and other forms of treatment, exercise also plays an important role in maintaining motor skills.

Numerous studies show that training with vibrations has a beneficial effect on stability, gait, balance, postural control and deep sensitivity. These areas in particular are often more or less severely affected in Parkinson's disease, depending on the form and severity of the symptoms.

Regular training with smovey can help maintain and sustainably improve the quality of life with Parkinson's disease. Functional movement sequences promote coordination and balance, muscle development and mobility. In addition, the vibrations stimulate the nervous system with the positive effects already mentioned.

The inventor of the vibrating green rings, Johann "Salzhans" Salzwimmer, himself suffered from Parkinson's disease over 24 years ago and originally invented the smoveys for self-therapy. Today they not only help him, but many thousands of people all over the world - and - incidentally - put a smile on their faces!

Incorporating special exercises and massages with the vibroswing can enhance and support the functions of the digestive and lymphatic systems, aiding in the detoxification process. Consistent and purposeful physical activity can

alleviate tension in the neck, shoulders, and spine, while also boosting brain circulation and coordination.

the body becomes tighter and energy levels increase already after a few workouts. This improves metabolism, helps

develop muscles, and accelerates the burning of fat, which continues also after the workout session. Regular workouts help get rid of excess weight, build and strengthen abdominal, gluteal muscles, muscles of the thigh and spine, strengthen connective tissue, improve skin firmness and condition, and reduce the manifestations of cellulite considerably.

Furthermore, exercises with the vibroswing can target reflex points on the palms, mimicking the effects of acupuncture and positively impacting the body's organs and glands. This holistic approach to physical therapy aims to improve overall well-being and promote optimal health.

Also used by many health professions - physiotherapist customizes a set of physical exercises for each client based on their health condition, fitness level, and preferences. These tailored workout sessions are beneficial not only for individuals with health issues but also for those looking to enhance and sustain their quality of life.

History of the Smovey vibroswing

The Smovey vibroswing was created by the Austrian tennis player and skier Johann Salzwimmer for health improvement purposes after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at the age of 50. The doctors predicted he would become bedridden within 4 years and would require full care. When his illness started to restrict his movements, Mr Salzwimmer, fully determined not to give up, designed the vibroswing as a result of prolonged experiments. These rings helped him restore the range of movements and keep himself in good shape. He proved that regular exercises with the rings can help strengthen deep core muscles; besides, the vibrations caused by the ring have a positive effect on the brain areas involved in motor function, too. He called the ring ”Smovey” and patented it. As an innovation, the Smovey vibroswing was awarded the Brand New Award at the International Trade Fair for Sporting Goods and Sports Fashion (ISPO).

Recognising the effectiveness of the vibroswing, a group of doctors, physiotherapists, fitness trainers, neurologists and specialists of the traditional Chinese medicine was formed which developed a set of special exercises ensuring convincingly good results in health restoration and maintenance, fitness and physiotherapy.
