Learn about Juvent’s Micro-Impact Platform, a patented technology that can help improve musculoskeletal health for patients of all ages.
When Rush Simonson’s 78-year-old mother suffered a severe, non-union pelvic fracture, she experienced extreme pain and immobility for two long years. Hoping to help his mother, Simonson, chairman and CEO of Juvent, borrowed a Micro-Impact Platform for trial use that she began to use on a regular basis.
Just a mere two weeks later, Simonson’s mother regained her mobility and was able to live her life pain-free. When the platform was returned, her pain immediately reappeared, and Simonson saw that the device offered direct health benefits.
Simonson located another platform for his mother, and now at the age of 92, she lives independently with full mobility. Today, Juvent manufactures these Micro-Impact Platforms to offer users a variety of health benefits.
What is the Juvent Micro-Impact Platform?
Juvent specializes in clinically validated solutions to improve musculoskeletal health. Their patented Micro-Impact Platform delivers gentle, precise mechanical stimulation to the body. This non-invasive, vibration-based device simulates high-frequency, low-magnitude impacts that mimic walking 2 to 5 miles a day.
Used by clinics, physical therapists, and at-home users alike, this compact platform can help people of all ages improve their bone health, in addition to decreasing joint pain and increasing lymphatic drainage. In fact, a new clinical trial has shown that Juvent’s Micro-Impact Platform can improve bone density in pediatric cancer survivors.
How It Works
Initially created to combat bone loss in astronauts experiencing long-term microgravity in space, this advanced technology has been adapted for everyday use to simulate beneficial mechanical stimulation for bones and muscles.
Users simply step onto the platform like a scale, where it will send out three quick vibrations to determine the amount of fluid in your body. After setting a customized frequency between 32 and 37 hertz (vibrations per second), it begins pulsing a low vibration for a 20-minute session, promoting bone growth, blood flow, and balance.
Exploring the Benefits
With an evidence-based design, the team at Juvent has translated space research into a device that offers practical, daily health benefits.
“Millions and millions of dollars of research and years went into determining how we can deliver a safe, yet effective dose of impact,” adds Simonson.
This safe, hands-free therapy requires just 20 minutes of use per day, offering the following benefits:
- Increased bone density and strength, lowering risk of fractures
- Improved circulation and lymphatic flow
- Reduced joint discomfort and chronic pain
- Faster recovery after injury or surgery
- Enhanced balance, mobility, and overall functional health
In addition to these health benefits, the Micro-Impact Platform is designed with safety in mind. The gentle, low-impact technology is designed to avoid stress on joints, and the platform itself meets the safety standards required for vibration therapy, including protocols originally developed for astronauts.
Lori Simonson, Rush Simonson’s wife, is just one of the many users that has found relief from the Micro-Impact Platform.
“Juvent was a life changer. After suffering from chronic headaches for over 20 years, and seeing endless doctors and ‘specialists,’ my headaches resolved,” she shares. “It was a miracle for me. Now at 65, and with consistent daily use of our Juvent, I never experience any aches or joint pain, I can get out of bed without a care, and I am as active as ever.”
Stepping Into Better Health
As of 2025, Juvent ranked No. 757 on the Inc. 5000, an annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America and the best of the best in entrepreneurial business. Juvent’s best-selling model is the 1000N.
“Being ranked No. 757 is a testament to the life-changing impact our technology has on people’s health. We’re proud to assemble every unit right here in Tennessee and even prouder to see it helping people worldwide to feel better every day,” shares Simonson. “This isn’t just a win for Juvent, it’s a win for everyone who refuses to let pain dictate their life.”
Each Juvent Micro-Impact Platform is built in a factory in Ooltewah, and interested parties can make an appointment to try out this patented technology. Call 423-635-7601 to speak with a Juvent expert or visit juvent.com to learn more.
