Vibration plate - what benefits have you noticed?

[Lugol]

My Mum has lipodema and wanted a vibration plate so I bought one for her and then one for myself.
I've used it a couple of times so far.
If you have one and you've been using it a while what benefits have you noticed?

Is this just going to be one of those things in the corner gathering dust or are there tangible benefits to it?

I understand your point and appreciate that what works for one person may not be someone else’s approach. However for me, this is an ongoing process to regain strength after illness. I genuinely would have struggled to get this far without using the vibration plate as a starting point.

'Stating the obvious here but all of those exercises are effective at building strength, stability, balance etc. if you just do them normally without buying a vibration plate'

For me it is a reduction in muscle and joint pain afterwards. It is purely anecdotal, but it definitely works for me. It was recommended by a friend who has fibromyalgia.

Sorry can I ask how long you use it for every day? I thought it was just a gimmic but have lost 5 stone and am hoping to lose more so would love anything that helps with loose skin.

I was put off using them by the (potentially flawed) logic that the vibrations from something like a garden strimmer makes my wrists and elbows hurt, so I assumed the vibrations were bad for the joints. (I know road workers who use those compaction vibration machines have issues).

It is slightly more gentle than a pneumatic drills and compactors I should say. It has different levels too 😁

I found some exercises on YouTube that I did on the plate - squats and lunges etc.
I didn’t have any loose skin; I also used bio oil daily so I think that helped a bit too.

I dont have ankle cuffs but I did see several ladies comment positively about seeing reductions in their ankle cuffs/ swelling . Im on a reddit group and also a Facebook group

I used to use one and do exercises on it when I had a PT. Can’t see I noticed any benefit.

Vibration plates can be beneficial for autistic children.
