What is the Exer-Rest?
The Exer-Rest is a patented, non-invasive, drug-free, therapeutic device that is designed for people of all physical capabilities. Individuals who experience daily aches and pains, morning stiffness, muscle tension or would benefit from improved circulatory health may be aided by Whole Body Periodic Acceleration to support their overall quality of life.

How does the Exer-Rest provide health benefits to individuals?
Exer-Rest accomplishes such benefits through a process called Whole Body Periodic Acceleration (WBPA) therapy.
Back
What is Whole Body Periodic Acceleration (WBPA) therapy?
WBPA is accomplished by moving an individual repetitively head-to-foot approximately 140 times a minute. The repetitive motion adds pulses to your natural vascular pulse with each acceleration and deceleration of the body. These additional pulses act on the inner lining of blood vessels (endothelium) throughout the body to stimulate genes that release beneficial substances.
Back
What is Nitric Oxide (NO) and what does it do?
Nitric Oxide (NO) is a molecule naturally released by the body and, as we age, its production diminishes

. Nitric Oxide is known to aid in the reduction of inflammation and is involved in regulating vascular function

What kind of symptoms or conditions does the Exer-Rest aid in relieving?
Temporarily increase local circulation
Provide temporary relief of minor aches and pains
Support local muscle relaxation
Reduce morning stiffness
Back
What is Rest Mode?
The Rest Mode serves as an aid to support mindfulness and relaxation. It sets a fixed travel of 80 mm (3.15") with an adjustable speed from 10 to 24 (default setting of 17) cycles per minute to mimic the normal range of breathing frequency.
Back
Are there side effects from using the Exer-Rest?
Whole Body Periodic Acceleration therapy has no known side effects. It is contraindicated in pregnancy and in spinal pathologies such as unstable spinal injuries. Also, it should not be used over swollen or inflamed areas or skin eruptions, as well as in the presence of unexplained calf pain. If you feel dizzy, faint, short of breath or any pain during a session, stop and consult a physician.
Back
What is the recommended length of a session on the Exer-Rest?
The recommended length of a session ranges from 30 to 45 minutes. For best result, use daily or at least five times a week.
Back
Should I use the Exer-Rest instead of my prescribed medications?
Whole Body Periodic Acceleration (WBPA) may aid in relieving symptoms, but WBPA is not a replacement for your current medication(s).
Back
I suffer from "motion sickness". Will I have problems using the Exer-Rest?
Since movement is in only one direction, head-to-foot, motion sickness is highly unlikely to occur.
Back
Why does the Exer-Rest have a memory foam mattress?
The NIMS innovative memory foam comfort mattress provides firm support and gently conforms to your body, which eliminates pressure points.
Back
Will the Exer-Rest help me lose weight?
The Exer-Rest will not cause significant weight loss or help build muscle.
Back
Will the Exer-Rest fit in my home or clinic?
NIMS offers two models, the AT3800 (94"x38"x21") and the AT4700 (94"x47"x21"). The footprint is approximately the same size as an elliptical and/or treadmill exercise unit. Based on your available space and personal preference, either size or model can accommodate your need.
