A new direction in mechanical stimulation.
One platform. Many possibilities.
NEWAVX isn’t limited to one stimulus or one therapeutic application.
By precisely controlling Vortex Wave Stimulation (VWS), the platform can generate distinct patterns of mechanical stimulation, each designed to influence different biological responses. This adaptability opens the door to an entirely new range of therapeutic possibilities.
Precision stimulation. Broader therapeutic potential.
Not all medical stimulation is the same.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)
Delivers concentrated acoustic pressure pulses through a handheld applicator to a localised treatment area. ESWT is designed for targeted tissue treatment rather than adaptable, whole-body mechanical stimulation.
Delivers electrical impulses through electrodes placed on the skin, stimulating motor nerves to produce muscle contractions. NMES is designed primarily to activate specific muscles rather than deliver whole-body mechanical stimulation.
Whole-Body Vibration (WBV)
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES)
At its simplest, WBV moves the body. The platform oscillates vertically or from side to side, and the body responds to that repeated movement. Settings may change the speed or intensity, but the underlying stimulus remains broadly the same.
ESWT targets | NMES activates | WBV moves | NEWAVX engineers the stimulus
Designed to Move Biology, Not the Body.
The water makes the difference visible. On conventional WBV, large oscillating movements shake the water up and down or side to side. With VWS, the force travels continuously through 360°, creating a controlled vortex.
Add the mass of the human body and the movement becomes almost imperceptible you don’t shake or spin. Instead, whether sitting, standing or lying down, VWS engages the body while you remain passive.
Different physics. Different stimulus.
How VWS Engages the entire Body
-
VWS increases electrical activity within the muscles while the person remains passive. The activity measured during VWS was similar in magnitude to that previously observed during stair climbing.
-
VWS increased myofibrillar muscle protein synthesis the process the body uses to build and renew the proteins responsible for muscle contraction.
-
VWS changes how oxygen is used within working muscle. Researchers observed changes consistent with increased oxygen extraction at the microvascular level.
-
VWS produced measurable metabolic changes, including a reduction in circulating lactate following stimulation.
-
VWS produced acute changes in markers associated with bone turnover, demonstrating that the mechanical stimulus is detected beyond muscle. The longer-term significance of these changes is still being investigated.
-
VWS does not increase major arterial blood flow. Instead, research shows changes within the muscle consistent with increased oxygen extraction.
More blood flow? No.
More oxygen extracted by the muscle? Yes.
Redefining how we age.
Not simply to add years to life, but to help protect the physiology that makes those years worth living.
NEWAVX brings together technology, science and physiology to create a new approach to how we understand and influence ageing.
Longer life. Better physiology.
