Abstract
An apparatus for vibration of a person via a vibrating platform. The apparatus includes a support structure that has a fulcrum and a plurality of vibration isolators, a platform that has a central portion and lateral portions, a power assembly coupled to the platform to operably oscillate the platform about the fulcrum, and a base shell that extends around one or more sides of the platform. The central portion of the platform is pivotally coupled to and operably oscillates about the fulcrum of the support structure so that oscillation about the fulcrum causes the lateral portions to alternately rise and fall in a substantially vertical direction. Further, the base shell is mounted to the support structure free-from connectors other than the vibration isolators.

An apparatus for vibration of a person via a vibrating platform, the apparatus comprising:
- a support structure comprising a fulcrum and a plurality of vibration isolators;
- a platform comprising a central portion and lateral portions, wherein the central portion of the platform is pivotally coupled to and operably oscillates about the fulcrum of the support structure, wherein oscillation about the fulcrum causes the lateral portions to alternately rise and fall in a substantially vertical direction;
- a power assembly coupled to the platform to operably oscillate the platform about the fulcrum;
- and
- a base shell extending around sides of the platform, wherein the base shell is mounted to the support structure free from connectors other than the vibration isolators.
