After over 25 years of back pain , I’ve finally found a solution for my back. Its Vata Health Slim full body vibrating platform. It all started with a wrestling match injury in high school in 1986. I’ve battled with back pain since then. With my type of work I`m either sitting at my desk with a phone glued to my ear or I’m lifting something heavy, which is when I throw my back out of place every time.
In the last 10 years ,I’ve had two CT scans and two MRI’s done, which clearly show I have two bulging discs. I haven’t been able to golf, or play other sports which I enjoyed for the last 10 years, I gave up my golf membership for the last 4 years, because every time I golfed, I had to take pain medication and muscle relaxers to get rid of the pain.
I’ve been to every Chiropractor, Physiotherapist & Massage therapist .I even bought an inversion table, all of them helped me for a short time, after lifting something heavy, my back went out again every time.
April 2010 while vacationing with my family in Hawaii, my back went in to a major spasm half way through my holiday. I was on my knees crawling to go to the washroom. That was the last straw, I had to do something about my back. When I got back I went to see my family doctor and he agreed that I needed to get an MRI and see a specialist in Kamloops. The specialist agreed with my family doctor that a minor surgery should fix my back problems, he booked an appointment for surgery July 2011.In the mean time someone recommended that I see Dr. Teara Ashby at Balance Chiropractic in Merritt. Dr. Ashby is a Chiropractor and a student of Traditional Manual Osteopathic. Dr Ashby understood my back and worked on it for nearly 6 months, my back got better about 60 to 70%. Dr. Ashby was able to straighten my hips and realign my back. Though Dr. Ashby’s therapy was the most effective therapy I’ve ever received, I would feel great until I lifted something heavy or the wrong way, I would put my back out again.
It all changed when I met John Woolner at the Merritt Fall Home Show in Oct 2011, he had a booth right in front of my booth, promoting Vata Health Vibe full body vibrating machines. He saw me walking a little funny as I was in a lot of pain that day from setting up the home show. John suggested that I try one of these machines for 10 minutes. When you are desperate you will try anything. After trying the machine I felt a little looser, he told me all these wonderful things this machine does. I wanted to believe him, but I was a little sceptical, he assured me this vibrating machine will help me get rid of my pain. When I saw him the next day I decided to buy one of these machines and give it a try.
I used the machine off and on for the next 2 months, John called to ask how the machine was working and I told him when I use it my back feels great. He told me to use it every day for 10 minutes a day. I asked him if he would be willing to put some of these machines at my store. John agreed to bring some to my store in Dec 2010. I decided, if I’m going to sell these machines, I needed to use it for at least 10 minutes every day to see the full benefits and this is when everything changes. Just after 30 days of using it every day, I started to feel better and my energy level went up at least 30%. My metabolism sped up, food was digesting better, minor aches and pain from stress were gone. An added benefit was I was starting to lose weight, so far I`ve lost 20 lbs. Best of all my back feels great. Now after 10 months, I’m about 95% pain free, I feel about 10 years younger, my flexibility has improved 100 times better, my whole body is starting to tone up. I’ve golfed over 30 games this year without taking any pain medication after a game, I’ve gotten a membership for golf for next year already and I’m doing more things with my kids and family because now I can. I`ve also put one of these machines at the local golf course for the members to enjoy, every golfer that tries it loves it.
If I hadn’t met John Woolner at the home show last year, who knows how my back would be today,. All I can say is thanks to John and the Vata Health vibrating platform as I’m 95% pain free, my surgery has been cancelled and I feel with the help of Dr. Ashby and Vata Health platform I’m going to be fine.Every member of my family owns a Vata Health Platform. To date we`ve sold over 130 Vata Health machines in Merritt area.
Das Kandola, Owner City Furniture, Merritt, BC, Oct 2011
My Vata Vibe experience is truly amazing. The noticeable benefits in such a short period of time. After just 2 weeks of use I have already noticed weight loss, firming, toning and my back feels great. My first session on Vata Vibe was after a busy weekend of lifting and gardening - my back was killing me. In 2 sessions all traces of back pain were gone. I am continuously amazed everytime I get off the machine! It really works!!!

Thank You John for Your Trust and Consideration...We are very Happy and Proud to own one of your Vata Vibe platforms.
Our Team has been using the Mega Disk Vibration Trainer for the better part of the 2010-2011 season, and I have been very impressed with its effectiveness.
It serves as a great activator of muscles before games – especially after lengthy bus travel– to get the players’ muscles firing and aid in our pre-ice warm-up. It is also effective post game, serving as a lactic acid flush and aiding in quick recovery for our next game or training session.
I have also been impressed with the durability of the Vibration Trainer. Serving 23 rough and tumble hockey players over the course of a season, it certainly has not been treated with kid gloves, yet it has proven to be a reliable performer for our Team.

Hi John,
John Woolner –Founder VataHealth
I started using WBV in 2007. Within 5 weeks I lost 20 lbs.(208 – 188 lbs.) and went from a 36” waist to a 34” waist. I am now (2010) still a 34” waist and 188 lbs. I have more muscle and my spare tire is totally gone. I have way more energy for work and sports and haven’t had the flu or a cold in years. My skin is better and a large age spot on my cheek is gone. My hair line even stopped receding. I am 58 and am stronger, have more endurance and energy then I did 20 years ago.

Physical activity is something that everyone can do. You don't need to run a marathon or spend hours at a gym. Look for simple ways to be physically active every day. Health Canada – Physical Activity Guide
Dr. Jaspar Sidhu D.C. has provided some insights into the world of whole body vibration from a wellness professional’s perspective. According to Sidhu, “With its many benefits for the patient population, it’s no surprise that vibration exercise therapy is one of the fastest growing modalities in the chiropractic and physiotherapy profession.”

Overweight people must pay more for health care, their unhealthy lifestyle is putting too much strain on hospitals. It is not fair for those leading healthier lives to pay for those who raised health care costs by being overweight.
G. Woolner, Kitchener, Ont. –At 83, my knees went and I was deemed too old to have them replaced. I went from very active, to not getting out of bed by myself. My heart got weaker and my doctor increased heart medications. I also started becoming confused and lost. I was diagnosed with Dementia and the onset of Alziemers and told to move to a nursing home as I would need permanent care. I started on Whole Body Vibration and my circulation came back immediately. Within 2 months I was off of my heart medication and my knees stopped hurting. I just turned 86 and am walking every day, traveling again, my mind is clear as a bell and I do not have Dementia (it was the heart medication). The amazing thing is, my knees work fine and don’t hurt and they have not been replaced. Thank you Vata, you saved my life.
I lost 3 dress sizes in 4 weeks. Anna, Kamloops, BC
I cannot believe how my customers are raving about the results they are seeing. I’m put 2 Pro Slim’s in each of my 4 salons. Carsten, Owner – Sunshine Tanning, Vancouver, BC
I put 1 machine in my store for me to use and immediately had to open it up to my customers. We are all loving it and getting great results. Darlene – RDC Convenience, Northern Bay, NL
I used to be a ballroom dancer and 5 years ago I had 2 strokes and couldn’t even stand strait or use the stairs anymore. My daughter introduced me to vibration machines at the salon she uses it at and I tried 5 days while I was visiting. I could not believe the results. My joints moved and the pain was greatly reduced and I went up a flight of stairs for the first time in years. That was only after 5 days and I bought a machine from the salon immediately. I truly feel alive again. Monique, Blind Bay, BC.
I have had Whole Body Vibration in my salon for the last 3 years and am now up to 7 platforms. I cannot believe the difference it has made in hundreds of my customers. From pain relief, flexibility, strength gains, weight loss to increased energy levels and healthier lifestyles. Whole Body Vibration has been great for my business, but most satisfying to me is the positive results so many of my customers thank me for. Lisa, Owner – Qphoria Tanning and Wellness, Kamloops, BC
I had been on 3 medications, including methadone for 10 years for my fibromyalgia. Within 2 months the pain was gone and I was off all my medication. That was 2 years ago. I use the machine 3 times a week and stay symptom free. I now sleep through the night – what a blessing. Thank you John, Yvette, Kamloops, BC
