[0001] The present invention concerns a method for topical slimming and weight control,
for figure correction and optimisation and maintenance of the physical fitness and
endurance.
[0002] Methods for fast topical centimetre slimming with the application of a thermo physical
method (TPM method) are already known.
[0003] This method mainly consists in that a person, mostly in lying position, does physical
exercises in a heated cabin at a temperature of about 28°C or at body temperature
causing slight swelling of the muscles, which will rub onto the undesired fat layer
and, as it were, make it disappear by rubbing and strengthen the muscles.
[0004] In addition this promotes the circulation of the blood and avoids muscle pain.
[0005] This well-known method allows efficient topical slimming and, consequently total
figure correction of, for example, the belly, the waist, thighs etcetera, strengthening
them and improving the physical condition.
[0006] Another well-known method mainly consists of vibration training, whereby a person
is standing on a vibration plate and performs power training exercises.
[0007] By provoking stretch reflexes this method causes the muscles to be continuously contracted,
and consequently to being trained, during which in addition brain impulses are caused
that lead to hormonal output.
[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to offer a method for topical slimming, weight
control, for figure correction and optimisation and maintenance of the physical condition
and endurance, which method causes aesthetic improvement such as fat reduction, reduction
of cellulite and collagen improvement, and improvement of the physical condition,
metabolism and of the health in general.
[0009] To this purpose the present invention relates a method for topical slimming and weight
control, for figure correction and optimisation and maintenance of the physical condition
and endurance, whereby this method mainly consists of combining the thermo physical
method and vibration training.
[0010] In this way the thermo physical figure correction method (TPM) is enriched with pure
wellness and general health.
[0011] This combination of the thermo physical method with vibration training has proven
to have a synergetic effect achieving much better results than separate application
of these techniques.
[0012] Such combination does in fact achieve surprisingly good results as concerns muscle
strengthening as the vibration training mainly trains the short, white muscles, whose
activity is based on power, speed and stretching, and the thermo physical method uses
the long, red muscles, whose activity is based on limberness, topical fat burning
and strengthening of the body in length.
[0013] Consequently a combination of these methods has a double effect as to both body strengthening
and fat reduction.
[0014] Combining these techniques proves to result into extremely good fat burning and at
the same time limberness and strengthening is increased all over the body.
[0015] Measurements and research also show that the method according to the invention causes
the production of hormones, such as:
- 1. serotonin or the happy hormone: level rises significantly, which causes feelings
of relaxation and happiness;
- 2. growth hormones or HGH, IGF: an increase of up to 30%: allows to improve the control
of osteoporosis by up to 30% and, in addition, to control arthrosis, muscle diseases,
chronical fatigue syndrome etc. These growth hormones also directly affect the collagen
or subcutaneous connective tissue, which causes the dermis to distend and the retina
that holds cellulite cells and fat cells to distend completely;
- 3. neurotrofin: causes improvement of coordination and an increase of the stability
of muscles and nerves;
- 4. testosterone: influences the body structure; and
- 5. decrease of the production of cortical or stress hormones by approximately 30%,
causing negative feelings of stress to decrease strongly and balance by approximately
30%, which has a constructive effect on metabolism.
[0016] Because of the numerous favourable effects the method according to the invention
proves to be extremely fit as revalidation programme.
[0017] Preferably the method according to the invention should be complemented by an adapted
diet programme to reduce weight.
[0018] This strengthens the favourable effect of the combination of the thermo physical
method and vibration training even more by burning extra calories and discharging
waste from the body and, consequently, by preventing excess weight.
[0019] In order to better show the characteristics of the invention a method in accordance
with the invention for topical slimming and weight control, for figure correction
and optimisation and maintenance of the physical condition and endurance is described
hereafter by way of example without any restrictive character.
[0020] The essence of a method according to the invention for topical slimming and weight
control, for optimisation and maintenance of the physical condition and endurance
mainly consists of combining the thermo physical method, whereby a person, preferably
in lying position, performs specific physical exercises in a heated cabin, with vibration
training, whereby a person stands on a vibrating platform.
[0021] To perform the abovementioned vibration training preferably a vibrating platform
is used that has a large and stable vibrating surface and allows 100% of muscular
tension or electromyography (EMG).
[0022] When the person for example performs the power training standing in the correct position
on the vibrating platform 100% of vibrational power is transmitted through the muscle
fibres by equal muscular tension, which causes the correct impulses to be transmitted
to the brain by observance of a correct position and a correct individually adapted
personal frequency and muscular tensions, and which causes a 100% effective hormonal
output.
[0023] As a result the whole body is trained unifonnly avoiding muscle and joint pain.
[0024] For the abovementioned vibration training preferably an device is used equipped with
multiple adjustable frequencies which according to the most preferred form of embodiment
are adjustable within a range from 30 to 50 Hz.
[0025] In practice such combined method proves to achieve surprising results as regards
improvement of the physical condition, endurance and muscular strength.
[0026] In addition such method according to the invention proves to be extremely fit to
control diseases, such as: obesity, cellulite, arthrosis, fatigue, muscular diseases,
stress, depression, osteoporosis and bad blood flow.
[0027] Preferably the method according to the invention should also be complemented with
an adapted diet programme.
[0028] The invention also includes the possibility to complement the method according to
the invention with an "oxygen/ozone" treatment, which implies that the person concerned
is put in a cabin holding a high oxygen/ozone gas concentration, for at least 15 minutes
each treatment.
[0029] The exposure of the skin to the oxygen/ozone gas causes the skin to shrink in a natural
way, which allows the skin to become tight after losing weight and centimetres.
[0030] In addition, as a result of this "oxygen/ozone" treatment blood circulation and metabolism
are stimulated and all toxins are discharged out of the body.
[0031] Such "oxygen/ozone" treatment has the following additional advantages:
- 1. skin diseases, such as: eczema, psoriasis and dry skin are treated both preventively
and curatively;
- 2. allergies, asthma and bronchial diseases are treated;
- 3. blood circulation is further optimised, which causes the muscles to relax and prevents
accumulation of lactic acid and muscular fatigue; and
- 4. it has a purifying and calming effect on all organs, such as the stomach, the intestines,
the kidneys and the liver and, consequently, activates all organs.
[0032] The present invention is not at all limited to the method laid out as an example
