This 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, a process called pulsatile shear stress, to promote the release of beneficial substances (mediators). These mediators, such as nitric oxide, provide a wide range of health benefits that originate from the user's own body.***Nitric Oxide (NO) is released from endothelial cells that line the arterial walls. NO signals vascular smooth muscle to relax, thereby increasing blood flow throughout the circulation.***NiMS 4400 Biscayne Blvd., Miami, FL 33137 P 305.575.4200 F 305357534201***info@nims-inc.com www.nims-inc.com***NIMS, Acceleration Therapeutics and Exer-Rest are registered trademarks of Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc.***USA-002 Rev A***" Printed marketing brochure
