On posture: I have noticed something similar happening while walking 10k steps a day. When you sit all day, your body adapts to that. But when you're walking for an hour or two, or use this vibration device, your body seems to know exactly to combat pain and exhaustion: You start to get back into a good posture. I used to be very sore after a walk. After a few months, even my friend noted that my back was more straight, my shoulders back, and sitting posture had changed. I told them: "Well yeah, you can only walk for so long with your shoulders down, bended over back, or uneven movement of the hips." To me, it looks like the critical component being that you're moving your body. Just standing still, or on guard, won't have that same effect.
Yes! I completely agree. It feels almost as if - by moving around - our bodies find their alignment. So glad you’ve noticed these benefits too! Thanks for sharing 🙏
@@TheScienceofSelfCareI will add to these insightful comments that there are 20 muscles involved in respiration, stay with me here, 18 of them have postural impact. (Some would also assert that the reverse is also true.) Therefore, breathing matters in the question of postural improvement. So I'm curious if you noticed any sense of being prompted to breathe properly while using this.
This was an interesting review. I’m 70 yr old female. I’m not using this to full advantage yet but love this. I have a Power Plate. Note…bend the knees slightly to reduce vibration in the ear/head area. I feel amazing using this daily
I got my Lifepro vibration plate a week ago because your video popped up. Maybe it was fate because i "used to be" in a lot of arthritis/fibromyalgia pain. Its simply not a placebo here. Im no longer in a pain after a week, I've become way more active outside and get this... i can bend again and do yoga again!!... yes, after a week. I feel really good. Thanks to YOU! ***Update after 3 weeks with Lifepro plate... I've lost some water weight and feel more toned on legs. 5 days is over doing it, so 2nd week I did 4. Still too much, so this week it's only been one day use then skip 2 days. I got dehydrated so make sure to replenish with electrolytes and high protein meals.
So I have rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and three other autoimmune illnesses, and several others chronic illnesses, including severe chronic pain, and I'd love to hear how you feel about it now because I am thinking about getting one and there's not a lot of reviews out there (that I can see) of people who have chronic illnesses.
@@CelestialRoseLilyI have Behçet’s disease, B27 arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis, too. .. I got one and have used it and have been feeling amazing- the constant pain and aches are reducing. The biggest change has been in my level of stiffness specifically morning stiffness from the AS- and helping to clear that up faster.
To avoid shaking the brain too much, bend slightly at the knees. When you have your balance established on the plate, you can use light hand weights to tone the arms (and add ankle weights). Its also good for releasing endorphins if you're feeling sad.
Yes! I need to improve my lymphatic system but I had a TBI in 2019. The head vibration is tough for me so bending helps. But sometimes I even sit on the couch with my feet on the plate and I flex my calves to move the lymph

I had a head injury, post concussion syndrome. Finally at the end of recovery. I wanted to use it for stiff joints, lymphatic system and overall health. I just ordered one today and thought afterwards about my brain. I'll take it slow, bend my knees. To prevent too much shaking of my brain. Thank you!
Back in the 1960s I was just a kid who was plagued with constipation that often took me to the doctor's office. My Grandma had a slenderizing salon, which back in the day involved vibrating tables and the strap machine that you put the strap around your midsection and adjusted the strap higher or lower to vibrate various areas. I'm not sure what the theory was but my guess is they hoped it would vibrate the fat off. I love hanging out with my grandma and I used to get on that strap machine all the time. My mom noticed that I didn't have problems with constipation anymore! Vibrating our midsection helps that problem!
I saw that a while ago, like how women were keeping fit back then. And I thought the same. This vibrating plate is similar to those. I bought one as well. I used it for a week and I like how I feel. Like I am stretching a lot😅 my husband is going immediately to toilet. So yes, I do think, helps some people in this way too. I feel good with it. In the beginning, I had a few pains. But now, I feel more flexible😊
I'm a sedentary 67 year old. I bought it because suggested bone health benefits. I have osteopenia. It will be interesting to see my next DEXA results. I've used it every day for only a couple of months. The muscles in my legs feel like I've gone for a comfortable walk afterwards. I hadn't realized that my balance wasn't great and since using it, I feel better balanced and more graceful. About a month ago, I started using hand weights so I'm exercising my arms and core also. I feel like my mood and attitude are better since using it. I highly recommend it for other senior citizens. Edited to add: My knees and feet feel better, too.
I will be 70 my next birthday and have used my vibration plate for a little over 2 years when I was diagnosed with Osteopenia. I did not use it everyday and my Dexa Scan was tremendously improved! I KNOW had I done it every day I would have reversed Osteopenia!
Pls don’t be sedentary! Walking is a super power everyone can do. I was sedentary but I have been walking for the last two years, also research insulin resistance.
Great review! I too have been using a vibration plate daily 10 mins the past 6 months. Spot on same positive effects as you stated. I do want to upgrade try the vibration plate you have as I got less expensive one to see if I liked it first before bigger investment. I also didn’t notice any reduction in cellulite or weight loss at all, but everyone’s body is different as I am 48 years old. I have recently add a weighted vest and do often kettle bell movements on the vibration plate. I feel a really nice boost of energy afterwards and I noticed huge difference in less joint and back pain which is fantabulous! Adding a trampoline for 10 mins with 10 mins vibration plate is awesome 20 min workout! ❤
Love love my mini trampoline- it does all the lymphatic activation that a plate might do - plus major muscle toning and effective aerobics for weight loss and fitness. I use my watch to log miles on it (In winter or in evening). I add an ankle /wrist weighs on it but would like to try a vest . My question is- why need to upgrade? I want to use for squats, pelvic support, and push ups.
I love my vibrating plate, i am using it almost everyday for three years. I am a disabled person, I can't do most exercises and this machine saved my body from falling apart. 1. Cellulitis: thanks to the plate i do not have any cellulitis on my legs despite being about 200lbs. 2. Definitely helps me with sugar level in my blood (i have diabetes) 3. Recently (5 weeks ago) i got hernia and i was not using the machine for 4 weeks. I started again a week ago because i was missing it and suddenly my back get better thanks to blood flow. My back heals better and faster now. 4. Overall body pains get better thanks to plate
I have been using mine for over a year for bone density... the first time I stepped on I felt like I was on a bad amusement park ride and wanted to hurl, could only do 30 seconds. But I let myself slowly acclimate and now it's great. 10 minutes a day, high amplitude and frequency at least 30Hz. Going by my medical clinic dexa scans my bone density improved in a year's time. My Dr is amazed. I also do a LOT of other bone support stuff as well. My brand is vibration therapeutic. I have it on the lowest floor of my house it *really* vibrates....
Amazing!! Thanks for sharing your experience and results. So cool to hear your dexa scans show an increase in bone density over the past year! 💪 If you’re open to sharing, I’d love to know what other things you do for bone health? 🧡no pressure, of course! x Robin
@@TheScienceofSelfCare I do so many things I would never attribute my gains to just the plate. (although my doctor has said she knows people doing virtually all I do without the plate who aren't have my success...of course everyone is so different) I went on HRT, prioritize protein min 120g a day, 2 homeopathic meds daily, supplements-- boneUp, Lactoferrin, mineral drops in my frequent water, full spectrum K2, Lift heavy slow weights I guess those are the main things. I am probably forgetting something. My bone health is my highest priority
A funny anecdote from Nikola Tesla’s life. He created a plate that he vibrated using electricity & magnetism, he used to present it during his demonstrations, having famous people from the audience stand on it. The funny comes in when you read that very often the volunteers had to rush to the bathroom to relieve their bowels. I know these plates that you are discussing have a more controlled and comfortable vibration, but your note about b.m. triggered my memory of that story. Thank you for sharing this!
I've been using Life Pro vibration plates for about 4 years now. I use the Waver Mini, and the Rumblex Max 4D. Both work great, but the mini is about half the weight of the Rumblex Max 4D. ( I use the Waver Mini when I travel and the Rumblex Max 4D when I'm home ) I felt itchy for about one day, and then the itchyness went away. What I really like about both of these vibration plates is the maximum intensity. I like to use it on full blast for 15 minutes twice a day. ( if you can wait, you often get deals on Black Friday or Christmas, I bought both plates at about one third off by waiting ) They are definitely one of the best investments I've ever made in exercist equipment, especially as you get older and your joints get stiffer a vibrartion plate makes a huge difference in opening up your joints.
@@leighadaig24 The Mini Waver weighs half as much but still does a great job. The Rumblex Max 4D can take up to a 500 lb load, and it has 3 motors instead of 2. They both work well, so it's up to you to figure out what you like best.
I had the rumblex also and the waver. I ended up giving both away. I ended up with the relaxavibe and I love the heated cushion and integrated storage.
I am 61 and bought mine 6 months ago. I started slowly, and I felt a good higher energy level. I set mine to 15 high multi function. I gradually increased. I am pretty active as I still teach kindergarten. My weight was 93:5 After2 months using each morning I felt good enough to change my diet and add hand weights. In last two months I have used mixture one weight vest , very heavy 8 kg, in morning shake and evening before shower I use 5 kg each hand. I feel great. I look much better and yes, combined with diet I lost to date 9:3 kg. Once you get into it as a habit it works. First 2:5 months no weight lost but felt much happier and skin was looking glowing. Now, I am following a ‘ war time’ recipient meal diet and weight is dropping fast. And I am so much happier. 😂. It is not a miracle worker, it is changing your attitude towards yourself. And if you feel like putting in extra. I felt I was worth it. I do Hope this helps a few of you. 😊
@@pixl8me Morning, no I have a slightly different machine. It has 9 program settings and it is brutal. Lol. It is called JUFIT I live and work in China. This machine cost me 300 rmb has Bluetooth an app and music free. I really love my own music choice because of motivation. I guess 300 yuan is about 40 USD. Over here it is expensive. When you take salary in account. But, I am using mine 3 times a day now, I am on holiday. If I do not listen to music I watch RUclips. So time goes fast. Weights really help. I’m now 78kg. That’s amazing dropping from 93:5 , arm weights are needed I’m getting saggy skin on arms and belly. I’m total I’ve dropped 15:3 kg in 7 months. I live by the rule… Keep It SimpleStupid. k.I.S.S . As older women need all the support we can give each other. ❤️😊🤔By the way, when I find myself very upset or stressed or very angry? I just put on program 9 and shake the hell out for extra 15 mins. With positive music. And lift those weights faster. It is a good way to calm down. 😅🥵🏋️♂️🧘♀️
I’ve been using the AXV Vibration Exercise Machine for a little over a week now. My legs are getting nicely toned, but I can’t give the vibration plate all of the credit because I’m also doing daily dance routines, walking, doing squats, and various other exercises. What I have noticed is pain relief. My back hurts at the end of a 12-14 hour shift, and 10 minutes of vibration does wonders. I’m sleeping better, and yes, I’ve noticed a huge boost in my mood. I’m not as sore from walking and dancing when I use it directly after exercising either. The gastric benefits are something I’ve noticed as well 🙃 I’m using the lowest program setting, yoga, and will be changing that up at the beginning of next week. My balance is definitely improving, and I’m going to incorporate using the bands as well to help strengthen and tone my arms. Thank you for all of your research and this wonderful video!
I bought a Lifepro Rumblex Plus on June 29 because of your video where you tried one out at the convention. They must have updated them, because mine has a remote control that you can wear while you're on the plate. They've also added a screen lock that prevents you from accidentally turning off the machine if you touch the screen. It also has Bluetooth, and I can play music through it. I love it! I started using it yesterday, because I procrastinate, A LOT. It was priced at $400, but I paid under $200, I think. I have the Retail Me Not browser extension, which added a coupon that took off $132, plus I had birthday money, and it was on sale. Thanks for sharing your videos about your experience with vibration plate, because I'm now on my way to less back and joint pain.
Vibration plates were the only thing that allowed me to exercise when recovering from ME/CFS and post viral fatigue because of the increased circulation/oxygenation. Fun fact: lactate acid is high in people with ME/CFS. Vibration plates also helped reduce post exertional malaise (PEM). However, using vibration plates in an apartment where neighbours moan at the slightest noise is an art that involves buying many anti-vibration mats (washing machine mats work well) and finding that perfect spot on the floor that doesn't trigger mass creaking. EDIT: for those too incapacitated to stand or even sit on the plates but who still want the benefits of increased oxygenation passive vibration exercisers like the Chi Machine and similar machines are fabulous.
I have seen a number of videos where people sit on a chair and only place their feet directly on the vibration place (the chair is not sitting on or touching the plate). One man in particular who I think has used it close to a year, really loves it's many benefits, (he uses it daily), and he only uses it this way due to his size and health issues. I think he uses it 15-20 mins per session, once per day, and many of his channel followers, with their own unique health issues, had already been using vibration plates and told him about the many benefits, thinking it would help him also. He said in one of his videos, that a very kind follower had sent him one because he believed in it so much, (not the manufacturer), so that is what he is using.
@@seaspray9144I don't have a link. The original Chi machines are sold by distributors so it's just a question of Googling and seeing who's near you. There are also lots of similar makes (of which I have one) and they are normally cheaper than the Chi Machines. Just Google "chi machine passive exerciser" or "passive exercise machine" and see what comes up.
@@pat4005 this channel host sounds like he has an amazing community that are a credit to him. Once you think creatively there's lots you can do with vibration plates. I sit on the floor and rest my legs on it. You can lay on it to get your back if you rest your legs on something. It's useful positioning the plates near a wall for balance. I don't think in terms of "is this a prescribed exercise?" Playing with movement rather than it being a chore is very helpful as is knowing when to stop rather than forcing it. I've found if you can get into a routine of just boosting circulation daily you naturally progress to experimenting with more progressively advanced poses. I do versions of yoga poses on my plates. I also find the best time for me is as soon as I get out of bed. Gets rid of foggy heads and sluggishness.
I just got a LifePro. I'm a 62-year-old female with a 20-year history of type 2 diabetes. I've been following a low carb/Ketogenic/Ketovore/Carnivore way of eating for the last year and a half. 75 lbs. down so far and off my non-insulin injectable now 11 months, after having taken it for most of those 20 years. I wear a CGM as well. Today was the first day that I used my LifePro, starting with this morning shortly after rising. 5 minutes on the vibration plate and my blood sugar dropped 30 points. I've used it throughout the day today in increments of 2-5 minutes and my blood sugar is significantly lower today than normal. I did about 30 minutes total over the course of the day. I'm 100% hooked and will continue to use the vibration plate. I have a lot of pain in my hips and knees when walking so I don't get much walking in except for normal errands and so forth. But the vibration plate does not hurt me at all. I'm hoping since it clearly helps with lowering blood sugar it will also help with weight loss. Despite cutting out all processed foods and eating very few carbs, my insulin resistance has been extremely stubborn, and the weight loss has been slow (likely due to inactivity, I work long hours in front of a computer). Between my rebounder, the vibration plate, body weight squats, and kettlebell throws I think the scale is going to start moving. I still have 100 lbs. to lose.
Thank you for sharing your experience especially about the lowering of glucose. That's so interesting and helpful. Good luck on your journey and great job overall!
I recently joined a gym that has a powerplate.. .. I am 65 and in good health but can't do the hard workout I used to.. I after I do my routine a the gym I stand on one..and then also sit and work my arm muscles -- I cannot believe how much better I feel -- It seem to give my whole body a gentle work out. And I now longer have lower back pain.. It is truly a miracle. Love it. I also relaxes me and helps w/ my concentration and mood. thank for your excellent post!
Thank you! I have severe osteoporosis and had been hearing about vibration therapy for many years, but didn't buy one because the ones specifically made (Maradyne, etc) for bone density were so expensive. Last January, however, I found out about less expensive ones so got one (LifePro Rumblex Plus) also, I'd been going to PT for a knee issue and they had me on one for stability training (they do this with most people over 60 - and I'm 65). Anyway, I LOVE IT!! I feel invigorated after my 10-minute session, but also relaxed - so odd to feel both at the same time. I had a DEXA scan recently and my density went down a bit, but I've only been using the plate since January - plus, who knows, maybe my density would have been worse if I had not used it. Regardless, I LOVE it and will continue to use it!!
I just have to say: I’m so inspired by you and your channel!!! I’ve started waking and walking everyday and try to hit 15k everyday. This has been so transformative. And it’s all due to you. I focus on how I feel, how it clears my mind, how I’m sleeping. Thank you so much, Robin❤❤❤
The first time I used a vibration machine, I had the most FABULOUS bowel movement ever! I was shocked at the volume! And, as you stated, there was no urgency, no discomfort. I eventually bought one, but it wasn't really a good product. After watching your excellent video, I am going to revisit. Because of foot mechanics, I am unable to walk, but I can stand. Hitting my 75th, and I need this help.
Turn to Jesus He loves you, He is the healer of the body And savior of the soul, There is True Hope in Jesus, God protects Psalms 91, He is the God of miracles Acts 2:21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved Jesus alone saves Trust Him with your salvation John 3:16 1 Corinthians 15 1-4 Moreover Brethren, i declare unto you the gospel which i preached unto you, which also ye have received, and with wherein ye stand By which also ye are saved, if you keep in memory what i preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain, For i delivered unto you first of all that which i also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures, Take care
I had to poop immediately after and I’ve been constipated having to take laxatives to poop for years but I was able to go without laxatives today after using this plate!!!
Thank you for mentioning the itching. I thought that was so weird. We've had ours for a couple of months and I love it. I call it the "Paint Shaker." I even have my senior dog come and stand on it for a few minutes on a low vibration setting. She loves it.
There is a YT channel, The Clever Cowgirl…she bought a shaker plate for her horses, obviously one that is very large. Her barn kitty comes and begs to have the plate turned on so she can get her treatment. It is interesting, I think her dog likes it too, and her horses for whom it was purchased seem to be benefiting from it as well.
@@lilolmecj A Chiro who worked on my dogs told me about these plates 5+ years ago and said I could find them where horses get their rehab done. My cat got on it once, but hasn't shown an interest since then. He does come and hang out while I do my 10 minutes tho. LOL
The itching happens because vibration can cause mast cells in your skin to release histamine. It’s a mild allergy-like response. I get this if I turn my massage gun up to any speed higher than the first setting. If it’s really bad, you can take an OTC antihistamine like Claritin or Benadryl to help calm it down.
I tried a vibration plate at a the 2017 ACHEMA trade show in Frankfurt. I was on my feet all day, every day that week and so my legs and feet were very tired. A vibration plate distributor had a booth where they were demonstrating their equipment. I was able to spend 15 minutes standing on one of their plates and, wow, it was glorious. My legs and feet felt rejuvenated for the rest of the afternoon.
I have a vibrating platform. I love it! I’m 63. I walk my Shepsky daily as weather allows. I drive a school bus. The relief I feel after a 10 min session is wonderful/amazing. It relieves stress after a day on my feet. It gets me going in the early am hour before I leave the house for work. After listening to your video about it, I’m sure to enjoy it more and maybe add in my Teeter 6lb bar bell weight. I tell anybody about it. I’ve had a couple of coworkers purchase one. 🎉
I worked in Medical Spa for many years we used vibration plate on regular basis for client after Fat reduction treatments to help process fat through the lymphatic system. FYI it is NASA technology was used after training and or mission due to muscle weakness to help strengthen then they discovered all the other added benefits it offers. So get to shaking it is amazing for so many things
I also have a vibration plate, mine has arms like a big walker. After 10 minutes I feel chilled out. After 20 minutes I feel like I’ve had the best deep tissue massage followed by a jacuzzi soak. It’s one of the best gifts I’ve purchased for myself 😊
@@TheScienceofSelfCare 😂I was so happy to hear you speak about the itching because I thought it was just me 🤣. My machine has 3 presets that only last 10 minutes. So lately I’ve been doing circuits so I haven’t felt it. But in the past when I felt like I wasn’t ready to stop I’d restart immediately and be scratching while shaking 🫨. I never thought to associate it with time. Thanks a lot, now I wanna go itch😅
A month ago I bought one second hand and been using it 2 x 10 min (in morning and evening). What I noticed is the pain in my legs that was resembling to fibromyalgie has gone. It also helps me with posture, as I do my posture fitness routine on it and I feel like it builds the muscles faster that way as when do it without vibration plate. I also have hashimoto and read somewhere it would help reduce anti-bodies. Can’t find the study back, but I’m going to get a blood test to see if the claim is true. For cellulite: a wooden gua sha routine from 3 tot 5 min on my legs morning and evening have made it as good as disappear in 2 weeks time. It’s magic. ;-)
I just saw a TikTok Shop ad for a vibration plate and came here to find out more info. I'm glad I found you! I have a lot of mobility issues because of arthritis and weight and I think this might be a good starting place for me. I do get migraines easily so I'm a little worried the vibrations might cause them but I'm going to try it out anyway. Funny that you mentioned the bathroom situation... while shopping on Amazon I did run across a review where the guy said that he was buying more toilet paper than before 😊 Thanks for all the helpful info! BTW your cheekbones are amazing ❤❤
After studying the vibration plates I asked my doc. I’m 78 and so that seemed like the thing to do before spending money. She said give it a try as they have been shown to improve circulation. I’ve been using it a couple of weeks now. Changes in the way I feel were immediate. I’ve experienced much of what she describes. As for the GI track, I had not attributed the sudden regularity to the machine. However, my bladder insists that she will not ride the machine unless she is empty. One advertisement was that the plate could help with weight loss. I doubt that, I usually feel hungry when I finish! Because I’m old I decided to begin cautiously. I began by sitting on a chair, feet on the plate, hands on knees and elbows on thighs. I like the way it made my arms as well as my legs feel After a few days I got brave. I placed my house ladder so that I could hold on to the handle and stepped on the plate. Yeah. Good idea. I’m now doing half time standing (and holding) and half sitting. Standing, my head vibrates and I can see where it would not be good on a headache day. I’m still working on how to avoid the head-rattle. I do get hot doing the plate, but I can break out in a sweat doing my QiGong practice, so that may be just me So far, so good.
If your knees are bent a little, your legs will absorb more of the vibration, and less will get to your head. Make sure to keep holding onto something for balance if you need to.
Start at the slowest speed for few minutes. If feeling comfortable try increasing the speed slowly for a longer period. Once you are comfortable with the settings later on, do it for 10 to 15 minutes per session, may 2 or 3 times a day. Good to drink warm water after each session to hydrate & clear toxins from from the body . My 2 cents 😂☕
Regarding cellulite: if you pinch your fat and roll it between your fingers does it feel grainy like little rice nodules? If so than it’s probably hereditary, and could be lipedemia (not lymphedema) . It’s basically white fat or stress fat and it’s much harder to lose. Unless you start fasting, in that case it can be turned into brown fat which you can easily lose by exercising. Hope this helps someone 💟💜💟
Lipedema is a progressive disease. The lipedema fat does not respond to diet and exercise. Bisceral gat and regular subcutaneous fat respond to diet and exercise, but lipedema fat does not, and can increase with hormonal changes.
@@Yuri-carrera the post you are commenting on is about lipedema (which many people confuse with cellulite). The OP is explaining that what you think is cellulite may actually be lipedema. Fascia blasting does nothing for lipedema except cause pain and extreme bruising which the creator of the fascia blaster never mentions.
I didn't see anyone mention fascia blasting but I must admit it worked MIRACLES for my celluite. Now I will get on the vibration plate after now. Thanks@diannemarchese4808
First of all, this is an outstanding review of the product, so thank you! Secondly, I’d like to thank everyone in the comments section that put their 2 cents in and offered tips, tricks, and suggestions as well as how they benefited from this product! Now I will definitely buy one!
I once read that patients, who were bed ridden, having vibration stimulation on their feet(so not even standing they’re bed ridden) had better posture than those when they were finally able to get out of bed. I think there is something to say that stimulating the nerves of the feet tell the brain they’re still in use.
I love the vibration plate, it's part of my morning routine. Funny I noticed the itching and pooping too. I have had plantar fasciitis on and off for 20 years a few months of this device and no flare ups. I also feel very solid on my feet after use. It's a net positive in my life, and I have the cheapest version, I'm gonna put this brand/model on my wishlist for sure.
I’m glad you mentioned plantar fasciitis. I suffered with it many years ago, and by accident I fixed it by using my thumbs and put pressure on my calves. By applying deep pressure all around in the calf area, it cured the plantar fasciitis. Using the vibration machine does make sense as another way to fix this.
I just got a Lifepro Waver. I like it. I think I am lucky I didn’t get one with 3 motors going all whichaways…it has pre-set programs with 99 levels of vibration, lasting 15 minutes, changing speeds after every one minute. By the time you find the pose that really gets the jiggle going, then you turn and do it the other side and the minute is up. Beeps, oh boy, we’re going up! lol. No itchy skin, BM, or dizziness. I sat down and did some tricep dips, and that was a little too much vibration for my shoulders, but this machine also lets you just do a few minutes at a lower level. I sit all day and my feet swell, so it does seem to get the blood moving out of them.
It definitely helps blunt my blood sugar response after a meal. I've been wearing a cgm and monitor the rise after a meal. If it starts going higher than I want and I do a session on the plate, the level drops back very quickly.
Growing up in Southern California, as a family we would go to Knott's Berry Farm and they had vibrating plates in the park. So we would go on the water rapids ride and then cash in our quarters and sit on them while drying our clothes in the sun. It's a core memory from childhood, and they made me so good after walking and standing for hours.
Omg! I remember these too! Whenever I would visit my dad in CA for the summers,We Would go often! The free beer they gave the adults made sure we were there a lot! 😂
I put mine in front of a cabinet whose top is at eye level. I place my kindle fire and a pair of 5 pound arm weights and watch movies, RUclips and do a few lifts. I just need to do it more. This video will inspire me to take it more seriously!
Yes! It does keep one regular … true. I am 76 and my massage therapist recommended the platform to me several years ago. I was off balance from nerve damage after surgery and it has helped, along with improved mental clarity and energy. My grandkids lovingly laugh when they find me on the machine! I think it has also helped with maintaining muscle during dieting; and if I do overindulge - I pop right onto my machine and actually sleep better. Finally, in addition to the suggested electrolytes, drink plenty of water, eat lots of fruits and vegetables and stay positive. It’s a great life.
Thank you got this video. I bought mine and have been using it for the last week. I feel amazing and haven't needed to drink pain medication since using my machine. I have a different model from yours, but it's been helping greatly. I have fibromyalgia and I suffer from so much pain. My pain went from a daily 7-8 down to a 1, without needing medication. I will update in 6 months. I use my plate a minimum of 2 times a day. I'm loving it!
I think the benefits would be similar to rebounding (mini trampoline). So this might be rebounding benefits for those that can't rebound. Rebounding is more of a workout because the muscles contract with every bounce (they contract more than running does, while alleviating impact on knee joints). The benefits of vibration is that they would loosen fascia up quicker perhaps. Fascia is white scaffolding around muscles responsible for transporting hydration throughout the body. Without movement fascia starts to tangle and knot up. Movement shakes them back into good flow formation. Hence feeling more alive after vibrating because hydration flow through fascia has been made more efficient. The reason to bring up rebounding is 2 fold. More exercise for time spent, if people are wanting exercise benefits of growing muscle and stamina, potentially more fat loss. The other reason is cost of a rebounder can be cheaper, especially off brand ones (look for bungees, not steel springs) . Skip rope is even cheaper still, but it exhausts quicker and doesn't protect knee joints like rebounding does. Better yet is skip frolicking barefoot in grass 🙂 (where available) Some people stand on a rebounder at their standing desk. Personally it helps me get some light exercise in while dealing with CFS, and it really helps lymph drainage, which clears brain fog.
I wanted one of these plates to help with osteoporosis; I did some reading on it and found a woman named Becky Chambers who wrote a book about these. Those with more than one motor can have the opposite effect - the motors will not move in exact synchronicity, so there will always be a small desynchronization and that is not desirable. One motor only is recommended.
Becky's book is the best source of information on WBV that I have found. I always keep two copies in the house...one for me to use and one to give to friends who I introduce to WBV.
I've had my new vibration plate for about two to three months now and it started using it more regularly everyday, and have just started noticing tidbits of itching places on my brow on my leg or different places on my feet thinking it was a problem and after watching your video, now it all makes sense. Also the bowel issue I noticed that just today. I stepped on it for about a minute and a half before I had to stop it to go to the restroom. I love this video you put on here! It's very informative and I can now use it as selling point for my wife to start using it in moderation and with modifications! She will probably have to keep one foot on solid ground somewhere because she learned two years ago that she had broken her foot and didn't know it for a whole year until the third doctor had told her that was the case. She has diabetes, is overweight, takes several medications, has occasional headaches, almost daily has neck and back aches where I have to massage the pain out of her because nothing else seems to work, and has bow issues for unknown reasons. SO ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!! Mitch C. ( We're both age 67 in case you were wondering. )
I’ve used mine post surgically to help with the lymphatic drainage. I started doing 10 mins per day whilst sitting down and now I’m doing it standing. I’m really pleased with it.
Thank you so much for that bit of information. I am interested in helping my lymphatic system activate itself since as of late I feel like I'm always bloated and puffy
After watching your previous video, I got a vibration plate as a recovery tool for my husband who suffered x2 heart attacks and has impaired movement. It helps. Especially on days where he’s not so mobile, he uses the plate while seated in his wheelchair. It improves/maintain muscle tone in calf area/ankles. Thank you Robin!
Yay!! I’m so happy the vibration plate is working for your husband. ❤️ And thank you for reporting back! It’s always really nice to hear about other people’s experiences since I can typically only observe/report on my own. :) Wishing you a beautiful week, Robin
My wife (67) and I (86) love our vibration plates. We have 3 of them. One has Linear vib. and the others are Oscillating. We use them 2 or 3 times each day at 40 hz and high amplitude. We Highly recommend them to all who are able to use them.
I have the Lifepro Waver Mini. I am 77 years old. I have worked out my entire life and continue to do so. I do weight lifting using a DVD for the routines that work a different part of my body each time. I decided to get the Waver Mini because it was within my budget and I wasn't sure if I would like it. I have experienced the itchiness occasionally and the feeling of having to use the bathroom when I am on it. I have never had constipation problems, but that definitely would help those who do! I do squats when I am on the machine, but my main workout is the weight lifting. When I finish my weight lifting sessions, I get on the vibration platform to do the cool down. My machine has 9 levels of workouts. I do level 9 for 15 minutes each use.
I have scoliosis and I use the vibration machine everyday for a non-surgical treatment. Basically your brain automatically remembers your posture much better while the machine is activating the tiny muscles in your whole body. So in my case I put a specific device/weight to straighten my spine, and stay on the vibration machine for certain minutes. There should be evidences found by scoliosis doctors. And I'm sure the device is effective for regular bodies for the same function.
Which device/vibration plate do you use? I have 45 degree curve (not going surgical route as long as it does not progress) and would love to know the details of which plate you use for your scoliosis!!
I just got me one since its prime day and the vibration plate Ive been eyeing for months went on sale. It will be here Monday! As someone who is a sensory seeker and also needs to exercise and has chronic pain I am really hoping this becomes a new thing in my everyday routine
Love my vibration plate and purchased from your OG video. It really gives me a SURGE of energy that is almost manic in the BEST way! My only trouble is, as with most beneficial things, staying consistent! Yet another wonderful video and loved that your sister made a debut! Also…your mom is a badass!
@@RundownwithRachel thanks Rachel ❤️ yes-my mom is a badass! Haha I still have yet to give rebounding a real try! I know you’re the OG rebounder. Would love to know you’re thoughts on how these compare :)
@@TheScienceofSelfCare oh man what a loaded question! The vibration plate has been incredible for a quick energy boost whereas I find rebounding is so much more gentle but also powerful in its own right. The tricky part about rebounding is being able to recognize all of the benefits that I can’t notice on a conscious level. That would be something so interesting to get your take on. As you are EXTREMELY self aware and observant.
I bought one after trying one and discovered it made my fibromyalgia waaaaaaaay better. I was in tears of joy after 10 mins of use and couldnt stop talking about it because i was pain free for the first time in years. I bought one immediately and have had nothing but excellent results. Everything you said in this review i agree with completely. I have had it for 12 years now. The itching is from microtears in your tissues and the healing that your body is doing. It sends chi to all parts of your body to heal.
I just got a vibration plate. After my son and I used it for the first time, we both had to #2 immediately. I was laughing because no one has ever mentioned that before, lol.
@@TheScienceofSelfCare I don't have one (yet, I'm tempted, and have four tabs open with different ones) but I also find this side effect after doing the health bounce on my mini trampoline.
I’m one of the people who doesn’t love the sensation but I use mine religiously. It was recommended to me by a physical therapist for lymphedema. There’s is a good bit of research on how it can help stimulate the lymphatic system and at times has even been more effective than the pneumatic pump.
I have definitely noticed a mood lift from my vibration plate. I also try to focus on breathing while I’m on it, so I assume the increased oxygen + blood circulation is probably helpful. Thanks for both reviews!
Thank you for your balanced review. I recently purchased the Waver (2 wks ago) & am working my way up to higher speeds. The Rumblex seems to be the machine to get as I master this one better. I'm an active 74 yr old & believe it's helping me in various ways. I plan to share this link with others in my family to improve their health. Thankx again!
I really enjoyed this video♡♡ I hope you if you do another in this category you might take the time to study the lymphatic system. You touch on toxins and lactic acid and your cellulite, but informing viewers of how that gets moved by the vibration plate would be so so helpful. The lymphatic system is so under-studied.... ❤❤❤just a thought thank you for the video and all your information ♡
I bought a semi-commercial machine, a Hypervibe G17 because I needed to lose weight from over 230kg and so I needed something with a bit of grunt behind it, but it was at a 'think more than twice' about it price point of AUD$5,500. I fit very much into the category of getting started again in physical activity which is my main use case, but supporting thoughts were I had fallen down some stair ten years ago resulting in a hematoma --> then infection --> large debridement --> compromise lymph system in that leg, so perhaps the machine would help with that in the long term. Also my mum had recently died from a cancer that had eaten away at her hip, so I was thinking a bit about bone health etc. I support your anecdotal conclusions. I do think it helps with promoting regularity and if I'm wanting to bring my schedule forward then I might hop on for that particular purpose. I do like the feeling but my brother hates it so I would agree its probably important to try one before you buy if you can. I'm using it more as a 'floor' to my activity and for the massage like feel after being on it. Its easy to stand or sit on it for ten minutes in the same way as sitting in the sauna for 30 minutes keeps the momentum of doing something each day. At the start that was pretty much it but as I get closer to 200kg I know the heavy lifting is actually being done on the treadmill, stationary bike and, well the '"heavy" lifting'. The other think I would note is depending what you are trying to achieve how you use a machine might be different but that seems part and parcel with all wellness machines and devices. My friend who is a healthy weight jumps on it and uses the programs (and really enjoys it), while I only use the manual settings and her feedback is a wish to temper some as the programs as they can be a bit 'zero to a hundred' which I feel is a similar to your user interface comment. I realise not everyone can drop the amount of money I did on the machine, but if assuming you're not going to burn out any motors like me, then I think focusing on Robin's point about the quality of the direction of the movement will mean you can pick up a great machine at a reasonable price. The alternative is to consider starting a tiktok with slow motion vibrations of a fat stomach, set to stirring music, to recover the expenditure. 🤔
Love a vibration plate. I use the Power Plate at my holistic clinic and I really enjoy it. In that context it’s used for boosting lymph flow before an IonCleanse ionic footbath to get rid of toxins and old lymph. It really works! The footbath is always extra gross after I do it haha. I would love to have one at home, so I’ll be looking into this. Thanks for sharing!
I have multiple handicaps and have difficulty exercising. I tried the vibration plate at the gym. I was able to use it with ease and I could feel a difference in my body. It's a great tool for handicapped people who can stand although you can get benefit from sitting on one. If you need a walker to stand, I believe that would be doable or you can mount a grab bar to the wall to hold onto while you stand on it.
Had this for a month or so. 26 pretty young but I have been in military with a combat job so I wear a lot of heavy gears and walking like crazy with like 30-40lbs strap on me. Also I’m a cop so I do heavy lifting. I tried out this Lifepro and the worst I can do is return it but this is the best $160 I ever spent. Help me recover faster from training, gym, 12hr shift of sitting, running do all kind of stuff that put a lot of pressure on my joints. I learned that It helps with joints and stuff and I need my body to be stronger to handle all these heavy gears I’m wearing. Also I heard it helps with losing weight too (just little) so there is that. Very good for whole body relaxation instead of tiny massage gun you have to run through whole body relaxation. I said worth a shot to try out guys.
Thank you! I have been considering a vibration plate for a couple of years for our family. We have multiple disabilities and illnesses in our family that make more rigorous exercise quite a challenge. Hearing your review has been very helpful!
Wow that is too kind! I’m so glad you found this review helpful. 🤍 I definitely feel differently after doing it for so many months. When I first started, it felt crazy haha
Love this video because you've presented body functions and systems that help you with th e regular use of the vibration plate beyond the usual. I've seen countless " scientific " videos on how Nasa used them to prepare the astronauts for time in space and less gravity. You are a doll and glad you and mom are benefitting from it. Thank you for this! :)
Thank you! I am so glad you found this video useful. When I first heard about these plates I also just kept hearing it's a NASA technology that's good for a (vague) laundry list of things. It's very nice to actually use it consistently and see what's working. Do you have a plate yourself?
Thank you so much for posting your thoughts on your vibration plate - I've been waiting for this video! I purchased a non-LifePro vibration plate, so I don't think it has the 3 different wave types incorporated, however, I do feel the positive effects of the energetic vibrations. I just so happened to have my Levels CGM on this week, and I did some experimentation. If I get on the vibration plate immediately after eating a high-glucose meal (e.g. oatmeal), it blunts the spike temporarily, but 10-15 minutes after I'm done vibrating, my glucose will still spike. I use it at the 10 level, so I can't take more than 10 minutes at a time, but I wonder if I did a lower vibration for 20 minutes, if it would be more effective. Another experiment for another day. Thanks for all of your insights!
THANK you. You gave me an excellent idea to use after meals. I work from home and leaving is limited until my work tour has finished. But with this machine I can use during breaks until I get off to workout.
Yes! I also work from home and I truly feel it’s a helpful pick-me-up. I’m going to test moving my sessions to after lunch. :) On a similar note: my greatest work savior is my walking desk, which is also great after meals. Walking intermittently on this thing is the only way I can stay at a computer for many hours without going insane!! Haha
Hello. The skin itchiness after using the vibration plate could very well be due to stimulation of Mast Cells, resulting in degranulation of the mast cells, and therefore the production of histamines!! Anyone with Mast Cell disorders may want to research further. (Many people don’t even know that they have a mast cell condition…such as MCAS; Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.) *Also… you personal may want to look into EDS; Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (another under-diagnosed condition, that many have, and don’t realize.) Your lankiness and “sway-back” posture are common hallmarks of EDS; most likely hEDS (Hypermobility-EDS). Are you very limber/flexible? (Just a thought. 🤷🏻♀️) (I was a dancer a lot of my life. I always thought I was just flexible because of my dancing… but, many with hEDS end up in dance and gymnastics because of their hEDS. I received a recent diagnosis of both MCAS and hEDS very late in life… but, have had them both my entire life.) Interesting video. 👍🏼(Vibration plates are also recommended for Lipedema!) I’ve thought about getting a plate, but it may activate/trigger my MCAS even more. Will need to research further. Thanks! 👏🏼
The itchiness happens to me and also when doing other exercise like walking. It happens more when it is cold out. I have considered MCAS as a source of my health issues but nothing comes back definitive. Thanks for your comment, I may revisit this now. 😊
@@Loa44k It’s very hard to get anything “definitive”. Basically, if you respond to “treatment”; your symptoms are reduced; you probably have it. (That is literally the way that many doctor’s “diagnose” MCAS.) There is (surprisingly) A LOT of great information online. Get educated. You may have to educate your doctor. It’s frustrating, and can be difficult finding a doctor to help you; complicated reasons for this. There are also a lot of supplements with which you can treat yourself! And, DIETARY CHANGES are HUGE. Also lifestyle changes… figuring out your own personal “triggers” to the MCAS (like heat, UV light, stress, lack of sleep, etc… major hormonal events; like pregnancy and peri-menopause are huge triggers, as well). It seems overwhelming at first… and, unfortunately, it’s a long, slow road, but there is hope for improvement; though not a cure. Good luck!! 🫶🏼
@@KimDsmom Thanks. Yes, I have researched a lot on this in the past and haven’t found much improvement with meds. It’s hard to pinpoint dietary triggers but I definitely have environmental triggers. I have slightly high tryptase which may point to HaT. I always suspected mast cells in the itchy legs thing but haven’t read about it being the cause and of course doctors look at you like you’re crazy when suggesting this. 🤪 I need to find a good doctor that specializes in mast cell diseases. Thanks again. 😊
I have noticed I go poop easier within 5 min or so after using the vibration plate for 10min 3x a day = 30 min. I use it with a infra-red-light belt. It helps drain my Lymphatic system/water retention and I have no more sciatic nerve pain in my arms, neck or legs 😊
I was dx-ed with lipedema(which can also come with hypermobilty and its associated joint issues) this year. In my researching I found people that suggested shake plates to help with the pain. It does help! It not only helped with leg pain from lipedema but also foot, calf, hip, and low back pain from multiple sclerosis! I use it in the morning because my legs and hips are sore from laying on them in the morning from lipedema, and I use it at night to help my meds jump start the release of my muscle's spacicity, and neuropathic pain from MS. I believe it's improving my joint health also. I don't turn my ankles as much anymore. I feel my balance has been improved in general.
Thank you for this excellent video and your explanations, experience, thoughts. Easy to follow. I am 66, rather sedentary, 30 lbs over weight and have always had tight muscles due to skating as a youngster, walking and 2 severe muscular back issues in my 30's. Had i only known the benefits of stretching, vibration and good selfcare but with that being said. never too late to start. I did start gentle stretching about 2 years ago about 20 to 30 minutes a day and have added 15 minutes of walking in the cow pasture... slowed down due to the excessive heat and humidity here in Florida. My landlord mentioned his wife was using one for her back pain and wow she was smiling when I saw her last week. She is 81 and more active than me for sure. So, it got me to thinking....and seeking more infor and I really think this would be an excellent product to add into my selfcare routine. I am quite surprised that I have never heard of these types of machines in all my years especially since I was a massage therapist for several years and have had several homedics brand hand held massagers over the last 20 years.. better late than never for sure.... I am eager to start, get relief, get out more and enjoy life.... thank you and I will keep you posted.
My goal beside weight loss is to get oxygen into my blood. So I have used the vibration plate 10min 3x a day [morn/afternoon/night] I feel it has created a good routine for me and I'm about to add in a treadmill [goal 3 miles daily] and weights to my routine. This has been a life changer for me. Changed my routine and living a little healthier. 😊I'm Unstoppable!😊 Plus my body feels amazing after i use it. Its like being at a self care spa. 🌼🌸🌼
Thank you so much for your review. I just purchased this same model the other day on Amazon Prime day. I am looking forward to some of the benefits. While I don't expect the muscle tone and weight loss benefits, I hope that it will help with the aches I do get from my workouts to improve my workout experiences.
If you get a La-Z-Boy massage recliner chair, you can turn on the vibrations and also adjust the temperature. Someone I know got two for their home office and wanted me to try the chair out whenever we were hanging in the office or working on a project. Vibrations do increase the frequency of my bowel movements as well.
I have not explored beyond the 3 pre-programed routines. They so far provide enough variety to keep things interesting. I also like using the nylon hand straps (on the higher end LifePro models) to transfer some of the energy to my arms. The hand straps also would be useful for someone with balance issues.
I love it. Hop in it first thing in the morning, gets my circulation going and I feel awake and ready for the day. I can feel my muscles getting tighter and my energy feels lighter. Also a mood boost. Yes on the poop! Definitely keeps you regular
Thank you so much for your review and sharing of information. For some time I've been thinking of getting a vibration plate, but was hesitant due to the price and concerned that the information being shared about it wasn't accurate. I had an accident and difficulty recovering from knee surgery I was hoping a vibration plate would help my recovery. After the information you shared I think a vibration plate would be beneficial to me. Again, thank you. 🙂
One thing that has done wonders for my posture, muscle fatigue, and tendons, is by wearing zero drop shoes. My balance is also much improved. I suffered with plantar fasciitis, low back pain due to sway-back posture, etc. No more!
I agree!!!! I have had terrible hip pain for so long and the zero drop shoes have been a game changer for me. From the moment I put them on I felt so stable, and my hips felt level. Over time the hip pain has gotten so much better. I also do the vibration plate and use a mini trampoline. I'm 64 and have been sedentary but feeling much better.
A really good review and a lot of beneficial information about the Vibration Plate. I just bought one and was looking for info - which you really do give. Thank you for sharing your opinion and review.
I recently placed an order for the LifePro Rumblex Plus 4D. This one has a feature that allows the screen to be locked via a remote worn on the wrist. I should be receiving this within the next 3-4 days and am looking forward to using it. I've been extremely sedentary over the last few years and have been experiencing edema in my legs and feet, which I believe is a combination of poor circulation in both my blood flow and my lymphatic system. It is my hope that using a vibration plate consistently will help improve the circulation issues along with lower back pain and set me up to be able to move more in other ways ... walking, light workouts, shopping, going out with my husband, etc. Thank you for your insight into using a vibration plate. Wish me luck.
I am 66 and use mine off and on for about 4 months. I have noticed that my back and my joints feel better. I also think it puts me in a better mood. I also agree with you about help with the vascular system and getting blood to the feet. My feet are not so numb and prone to cramping.the real test will be when I get my DEXA scan in about a year and a half since I have osteoporosis. I’m hoping it helps with that.
Yes! This is the review I was looking for thank you for braking all these great points! I wanted to buy one but no one really explained the machine nor their process and the science of it. 👍🏼
On posture: I have noticed something similar happening while walking 10k steps a day. When you sit all day, your body adapts to that. But when you're walking for an hour or two, or use this vibration device, your body seems to know exactly to combat pain and exhaustion: You start to get back into a good posture. I used to be very sore after a walk. After a few months, even my friend noted that my back was more straight, my shoulders back, and sitting posture had changed. I told them: "Well yeah, you can only walk for so long with your shoulders down, bended over back, or uneven movement of the hips." To me, it looks like the critical component being that you're moving your body. Just standing still, or on guard, won't have that same effect.
Yes! I completely agree. It feels almost as if - by moving around - our bodies find their alignment. So glad you’ve noticed these benefits too! Thanks for sharing 🙏
@@TheScienceofSelfCareI will add to these insightful comments that there are 20 muscles involved in respiration, stay with me here, 18 of them have postural impact. (Some would also assert that the reverse is also true.) Therefore, breathing matters in the question of postural improvement. So I'm curious if you noticed any sense of being prompted to breathe properly while using this.
Do you walk that in a single session every day?
This was an interesting review. I’m 70 yr old female. I’m not using this to full advantage yet but love this. I have a Power Plate. Note…bend the knees slightly to reduce vibration in the ear/head area. I feel amazing using this daily
Does this tone the body
I got my Lifepro vibration plate a week ago because your video popped up. Maybe it was fate because i "used to be" in a lot of arthritis/fibromyalgia pain. Its simply not a placebo here. Im no longer in a pain after a week, I've become way more active outside and get this... i can bend again and do yoga again!!... yes, after a week. I feel really good. Thanks to YOU!
***Update after 3 weeks with Lifepro plate...
I've lost some water weight and feel more toned on legs. 5 days is over doing it, so 2nd week I did 4. Still too much, so this week it's only been one day use then skip 2 days. I got dehydrated so make sure to replenish with electrolytes and high protein meals.
So I have rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and three other autoimmune illnesses, and several others chronic illnesses, including severe chronic pain, and I'd love to hear how you feel about it now because I am thinking about getting one and there's not a lot of reviews out there (that I can see) of people who have chronic illnesses.
@@CelestialRoseLilyI have Behçet’s disease, B27 arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis, too. .. I got one and have used it and have been feeling amazing- the constant pain and aches are reducing. The biggest change has been in my level of stiffness specifically morning stiffness from the AS- and helping to clear that up faster.
To avoid shaking the brain too much, bend slightly at the knees. When you have your balance established on the plate, you can use light hand weights to tone the arms (and add ankle weights). Its also good for releasing endorphins if you're feeling sad.
Hi! Thanks for these tips. I was looking for some tips on how to use it to lose weight😊
Yes! I need to improve my lymphatic system but I had a TBI in 2019. The head vibration is tough for me so bending helps. But sometimes I even sit on the couch with my feet on the plate and I flex my calves to move the lymph

@@mihaelah5955eat less and move more.
I had a head injury, post concussion syndrome. Finally at the end of recovery. I wanted to use it for stiff joints, lymphatic system and overall health. I just ordered one today and thought afterwards about my brain. I'll take it slow, bend my knees. To prevent too much shaking of my brain. Thank you!
Back in the 1960s I was just a kid who was plagued with constipation that often took me to the doctor's office. My Grandma had a slenderizing salon, which back in the day involved vibrating tables and the strap machine that you put the strap around your midsection and adjusted the strap higher or lower to vibrate various areas. I'm not sure what the theory was but my guess is they hoped it would vibrate the fat off. I love hanging out with my grandma and I used to get on that strap machine all the time. My mom noticed that I didn't have problems with constipation anymore! Vibrating our midsection helps that problem!
Thank you for sharing!
I remember those machines with the belt you put around your waist.
id get agonizing constipation until i went vegan 15 years ago.
I saw that a while ago, like how women were keeping fit back then. And I thought the same. This vibrating plate is similar to those. I bought one as well. I used it for a week and I like how I feel. Like I am stretching a lot😅 my husband is going immediately to toilet. So yes, I do think, helps some people in this way too. I feel good with it. In the beginning, I had a few pains. But now, I feel more flexible😊
@@mihaelah5955 im tripping bc i just shared this vid w a fb friend and then when i go to yt ur the last comment on my feed.
I'm a sedentary 67 year old. I bought it because suggested bone health benefits. I have osteopenia. It will be interesting to see my next DEXA results. I've used it every day for only a couple of months. The muscles in my legs feel like I've gone for a comfortable walk afterwards. I hadn't realized that my balance wasn't great and since using it, I feel better balanced and more graceful. About a month ago, I started using hand weights so I'm exercising my arms and core also. I feel like my mood and attitude are better since using it. I highly recommend it for other senior citizens. Edited to add: My knees and feet feel better, too.
If it's not too personal, could you share the results of your next dexa scan
@@RainingPouringSnoring I don't think Medicare will pay for another for a couple of years.
I will be 70 my next birthday and have used my vibration plate for a little over 2 years when I was diagnosed with Osteopenia. I did not use it everyday and my Dexa Scan was tremendously improved! I KNOW had I done it every day I would have reversed Osteopenia!
@@colleenmorgan-hobbs1029 Thank you for letting me (and others) know about your positive results. ♥
Pls don’t be sedentary! Walking is a super power everyone can do. I was sedentary but I have been walking for the last two years, also research insulin resistance.
Great review! I too have been using a vibration plate daily 10 mins the past 6 months. Spot on same positive effects as you stated. I do want to upgrade try the vibration plate you have as I got less expensive one to see if I liked it first before bigger investment.
I also didn’t notice any reduction in cellulite or weight loss at all, but everyone’s body is different as I am 48 years old.
I have recently add a weighted vest and do often kettle bell movements on the vibration plate.
I feel a really nice boost of energy afterwards and I noticed huge difference in less joint and back pain which is fantabulous!
Adding a trampoline for 10 mins with 10 mins vibration plate is awesome 20 min workout! ❤
Love love my mini trampoline- it does all the lymphatic activation that a plate might do - plus major muscle toning and effective aerobics for weight loss and fitness. I use my watch to log miles on it (In winter or in evening). I add an ankle /wrist weighs on it but would like to try a vest .
My question is- why need to upgrade?
I want to use for squats, pelvic support, and push ups.
I love my vibrating plate, i am using it almost everyday for three years. I am a disabled person, I can't do most exercises and this machine saved my body from falling apart.
1. Cellulitis: thanks to the plate i do not have any cellulitis on my legs despite being about 200lbs.
2. Definitely helps me with sugar level in my blood (i have diabetes)
3. Recently (5 weeks ago) i got hernia and i was not using the machine for 4 weeks. I started again a week ago because i was missing it and suddenly my back get better thanks to blood flow. My back heals better and faster now.
4. Overall body pains get better thanks to plate
This is the post I needed to read. I am also disabled and was concerned about buying this product thank you and GOD bless your life/journey
Came here to check for herniated disc / lower back pain (&fibro) Great to hear it is helping you 💜
How long for cellulite to go away? Mine is 50% gone in a few months, i wonder where the progress stop, or if it stop at all. Soo?
I have MS and I have a vibration plate. I like it, I'm hoping it helps with balance.
@JennyLory lay on it not just stand. Back and front legs/hips
I have been using mine for over a year for bone density... the first time I stepped on I felt like I was on a bad amusement park ride and wanted to hurl, could only do 30 seconds. But I let myself slowly acclimate and now it's great. 10 minutes a day, high amplitude and frequency at least 30Hz. Going by my medical clinic dexa scans my bone density improved in a year's time. My Dr is amazed. I also do a LOT of other bone support stuff as well. My brand is vibration therapeutic. I have it on the lowest floor of my house it *really* vibrates....
Amazing!! Thanks for sharing your experience and results. So cool to hear your dexa scans show an increase in bone density over the past year! 💪 If you’re open to sharing, I’d love to know what other things you do for bone health? 🧡no pressure, of course!

Could u pls share what you’re doing to improve your bone health? I’m losing bone terribly fast and I’m only 42😢
@@skulltaylor1616 I too was diagnosed very early (thank goodness) but not as early as 42!! How great it is that you know now, more in the above reply
@@TheScienceofSelfCare I do so many things I would never attribute my gains to just the plate. (although my doctor has said she knows people doing virtually all I do without the plate who aren't have my success...of course everyone is so different) I went on HRT, prioritize protein min 120g a day, 2 homeopathic meds daily, supplements-- boneUp, Lactoferrin, mineral drops in my frequent water, full spectrum K2, Lift heavy slow weights I guess those are the main things. I am probably forgetting something. My bone health is my highest priority
@@mamed944 thank you so much for sharing! Super interesting and helpful 🧡
A funny anecdote from Nikola Tesla’s life. He created a plate that he vibrated using electricity & magnetism, he used to present it during his demonstrations, having famous people from the audience stand on it. The funny comes in when you read that very often the volunteers had to rush to the bathroom to relieve their bowels. I know these plates that you are discussing have a more controlled and comfortable vibration, but your note about b.m. triggered my memory of that story.
Thank you for sharing this!
Hey! I uuant that one!
Might be TMI but once I start doing jumping jacks or just jumping in place I notice the same effect
@@Y2kDiva_333gravity works. Same with mini trampolines. Pulls things down and out.
Thank you for sharing this fun fact 😊
I think that might still be true, at least of mine lol
It’s also shown to improve lymphatics, which is why cognitive function and improves as there is lymph in the brain
I've been using Life Pro vibration plates for about 4 years now. I use the Waver Mini, and the Rumblex Max 4D. Both work great, but the mini is about half the weight of the Rumblex Max 4D. ( I use the Waver Mini when I travel and the Rumblex Max 4D when I'm home ) I felt itchy for about one day, and then the itchyness went away. What I really like about both of these vibration plates is the maximum intensity. I like to use it on full blast for 15 minutes twice a day. ( if you can wait, you often get deals on Black Friday or Christmas, I bought both plates at about one third off by waiting ) They are definitely one of the best investments I've ever made in exercist equipment, especially as you get older and your joints get stiffer a vibrartion plate makes a huge difference in opening up your joints.
Thank you for sharing!
Do you think the bigger one is worth it/better? I have the mini and was thinking of upgrading!
@@leighadaig24 The Mini Waver weighs half as much but still does a great job. The Rumblex Max 4D can take up to a 500 lb load, and it has 3 motors instead of 2. They both work well, so it's up to you to figure out what you like best.
I had the rumblex also and the waver. I ended up giving both away. I ended up with the relaxavibe and I love the heated cushion and integrated storage.
I am 61 and bought mine 6 months ago. I started slowly, and I felt a good higher energy level. I set mine to 15 high multi function. I gradually increased. I am pretty active as I still teach kindergarten. My weight was 93:5 After2 months using each morning I felt good enough to change my diet and add hand weights. In last two months I have used mixture one weight vest , very heavy 8 kg, in morning shake and evening before shower I use 5 kg each hand. I feel great. I look much better and yes, combined with diet I lost to date 9:3 kg. Once you get into it as a habit it works. First 2:5 months no weight lost but felt much happier and skin was looking glowing. Now, I am following a ‘ war time’ recipient meal diet and weight is dropping fast. And I am so much happier. 😂. It is not a miracle worker, it is changing your attitude towards yourself. And if you feel like putting in extra. I felt I was worth it. I do Hope this helps a few of you. 😊

Hi, do you have this actual machine please?
@@pixl8me Morning, no I have a slightly different machine. It has 9 program settings and it is brutal. Lol. It is called JUFIT I live and work in China. This machine cost me 300 rmb has Bluetooth an app and music free. I really love my own music choice because of motivation. I guess 300 yuan is about 40 USD. Over here it is expensive. When you take salary in account. But, I am using mine 3 times a day now, I am on holiday. If I do not listen to music I watch RUclips. So time goes fast. Weights really help. I’m now 78kg. That’s amazing dropping from 93:5 , arm weights are needed I’m getting saggy skin on arms and belly. I’m total I’ve dropped 15:3 kg in 7 months. I live by the rule… Keep It SimpleStupid. k.I.S.S . As older women need all the support we can give each other. ❤️😊🤔By the way, when I find myself very upset or stressed or very angry? I just put on program 9 and shake the hell out for extra 15 mins. With positive music. And lift those weights faster. It is a good way to calm down. 😅🥵🏋️♂️🧘♀️
Thank you for sharing!
I’ve been using the AXV Vibration Exercise Machine for a little over a week now. My legs are getting nicely toned, but I can’t give the vibration plate all of the credit because I’m also doing daily dance routines, walking, doing squats, and various other exercises. What I have noticed is pain relief. My back hurts at the end of a 12-14 hour shift, and 10 minutes of vibration does wonders. I’m sleeping better, and yes, I’ve noticed a huge boost in my mood. I’m not as sore from walking and dancing when I use it directly after exercising either. The gastric benefits are something I’ve noticed as well 🙃 I’m using the lowest program setting, yoga, and will be changing that up at the beginning of next week. My balance is definitely improving, and I’m going to incorporate using the bands as well to help strengthen and tone my arms. Thank you for all of your research and this wonderful video!
I bought a Lifepro Rumblex Plus on June 29 because of your video where you tried one out at the convention. They must have updated them, because mine has a remote control that you can wear while you're on the plate. They've also added a screen lock that prevents you from accidentally turning off the machine if you touch the screen. It also has Bluetooth, and I can play music through it. I love it! I started using it yesterday, because I procrastinate, A LOT.
It was priced at $400, but I paid under $200, I think. I have the Retail Me Not browser extension, which added a coupon that took off $132, plus I had birthday money, and it was on sale. Thanks for sharing your videos about your experience with vibration plate, because I'm now on my way to less back and joint pain.
Vibration plates were the only thing that allowed me to exercise when recovering from ME/CFS and post viral fatigue because of the increased circulation/oxygenation. Fun fact: lactate acid is high in people with ME/CFS. Vibration plates also helped reduce post exertional malaise (PEM).
However, using vibration plates in an apartment where neighbours moan at the slightest noise is an art that involves buying many anti-vibration mats (washing machine mats work well) and finding that perfect spot on the floor that doesn't trigger mass creaking.
EDIT: for those too incapacitated to stand or even sit on the plates but who still want the benefits of increased oxygenation passive vibration exercisers like the Chi Machine and similar machines are fabulous.
I have seen a number of videos where people sit on a chair and only place their feet directly on the vibration place (the chair is not sitting on or touching the plate).
One man in particular who I think has used it close to a year, really loves it's many benefits, (he uses it daily), and he only uses it this way due to his size and health issues.
I think he uses it 15-20 mins per session, once per day, and many of his channel followers, with their own unique health issues, had already been using vibration plates and told him about the many benefits, thinking it would help him also.
He said in one of his videos, that a very kind follower had sent him one because he believed in it so much, (not the manufacturer), so that is what he is using.
Could you give us a link for the Chi machine please? Then I can ascertain what they do..
@@seaspray9144I don't have a link. The original Chi machines are sold by distributors so it's just a question of Googling and seeing who's near you. There are also lots of similar makes (of which I have one) and they are normally cheaper than the Chi Machines. Just Google "chi machine passive exerciser" or "passive exercise machine" and see what comes up.
@@pat4005 this channel host sounds like he has an amazing community that are a credit to him. Once you think creatively there's lots you can do with vibration plates. I sit on the floor and rest my legs on it. You can lay on it to get your back if you rest your legs on something. It's useful positioning the plates near a wall for balance. I don't think in terms of "is this a prescribed exercise?" Playing with movement rather than it being a chore is very helpful as is knowing when to stop rather than forcing it. I've found if you can get into a routine of just boosting circulation daily you naturally progress to experimenting with more progressively advanced poses. I do versions of yoga poses on my plates. I also find the best time for me is as soon as I get out of bed. Gets rid of foggy heads and sluggishness.
@@seaspray9144 I tried to reply to this and it didn't post. Probably because RUclips thinks it's spam. Google chi machine passive exercise machine.
I just got a LifePro. I'm a 62-year-old female with a 20-year history of type 2 diabetes. I've been following a low carb/Ketogenic/Ketovore/Carnivore way of eating for the last year and a half. 75 lbs. down so far and off my non-insulin injectable now 11 months, after having taken it for most of those 20 years. I wear a CGM as well. Today was the first day that I used my LifePro, starting with this morning shortly after rising. 5 minutes on the vibration plate and my blood sugar dropped 30 points. I've used it throughout the day today in increments of 2-5 minutes and my blood sugar is significantly lower today than normal. I did about 30 minutes total over the course of the day. I'm 100% hooked and will continue to use the vibration plate. I have a lot of pain in my hips and knees when walking so I don't get much walking in except for normal errands and so forth. But the vibration plate does not hurt me at all. I'm hoping since it clearly helps with lowering blood sugar it will also help with weight loss. Despite cutting out all processed foods and eating very few carbs, my insulin resistance has been extremely stubborn, and the weight loss has been slow (likely due to inactivity, I work long hours in front of a computer). Between my rebounder, the vibration plate, body weight squats, and kettlebell throws I think the scale is going to start moving. I still have 100 lbs. to lose.
Thank you for sharing your experience especially about the lowering of glucose. That's so interesting and helpful. Good luck on your journey and great job overall!
Congratulations on all of your amazing self care accomplishments!! You are really amazing. Keep it up
Very proud of you! Keep it going.
My daughter is a type 1 diabetic. If she has a stubborn high she goes on the plate for 10 minutes and her blood sugar begins to go down
What brand is she using?
WOW! That’s great.
Can you tell us the name of the plate?
You’re obviously active with you account please help your fellow humans with the exact name of the plate 😭🤭🫶🏻
I recently joined a gym that has a powerplate.. .. I am 65 and in good health but can't do the hard workout I used to.. I after I do my routine a the gym I stand on one..and then also sit and work my arm muscles -- I cannot believe how much better I feel -- It seem to give my whole body a gentle work out. And I now longer have lower back pain.. It is truly a miracle. Love it. I also relaxes me and helps w/ my concentration and mood. thank for your excellent post!
Thank you! I have severe osteoporosis and had been hearing about vibration therapy for many years, but didn't buy one because the ones specifically made (Maradyne, etc) for bone density were so expensive. Last January, however, I found out about less expensive ones so got one (LifePro Rumblex Plus) also, I'd been going to PT for a knee issue and they had me on one for stability training (they do this with most people over 60 - and I'm 65). Anyway, I LOVE IT!! I feel invigorated after my 10-minute session, but also relaxed - so odd to feel both at the same time. I had a DEXA scan recently and my density went down a bit, but I've only been using the plate since January - plus, who knows, maybe my density would have been worse if I had not used it. Regardless, I LOVE it and will continue to use it!!
I just have to say: I’m so inspired by you and your channel!!! I’ve started waking and walking everyday and try to hit 15k everyday. This has been so transformative. And it’s all due to you. I focus on how I feel, how it clears my mind, how I’m sleeping. Thank you so much, Robin❤❤❤
The first time I used a vibration machine, I had the most FABULOUS bowel movement ever! I was shocked at the volume! And, as you stated, there was no urgency, no discomfort. I eventually bought one, but it wasn't really a good product. After watching your excellent video, I am going to revisit. Because of foot mechanics, I am unable to walk, but I can stand. Hitting my 75th, and I need this help.
I’ve seen people sit on a chair with feet on the vibration plate. Maybe that would be an option for you. 😊

My hubby is using it and he’s wheelchair bound. He loves it!
Lay on it dont just stand. Hit many bodyparts
I had to poop immediately after and I’ve been constipated having to take laxatives to poop for years but I was able to go without laxatives today after using this plate!!!
Thank you for mentioning the itching. I thought that was so weird. We've had ours for a couple of months and I love it. I call it the "Paint Shaker." I even have my senior dog come and stand on it for a few minutes on a low vibration setting. She loves it.
There is a YT channel, The Clever Cowgirl…she bought a shaker plate for her horses, obviously one that is very large. Her barn kitty comes and begs to have the plate turned on so she can get her treatment. It is interesting, I think her dog likes it too, and her horses for whom it was purchased seem to be benefiting from it as well.
@@lilolmecj A Chiro who worked on my dogs told me about these plates 5+ years ago and said I could find them where horses get their rehab done. My cat got on it once, but hasn't shown an interest since then. He does come and hang out while I do my 10 minutes tho. LOL
My husband says my vibration platform is the best thing for stirring paints! And it has the drips to show from his efforts! 😂
The itching happens because vibration can cause mast cells in your skin to release histamine. It’s a mild allergy-like response. I get this if I turn my massage gun up to any speed higher than the first setting. If it’s really bad, you can take an OTC antihistamine like Claritin or Benadryl to help calm it down.
I tried a vibration plate at a the 2017 ACHEMA trade show in Frankfurt. I was on my feet all day, every day that week and so my legs and feet were very tired. A vibration plate distributor had a booth where they were demonstrating their equipment. I was able to spend 15 minutes standing on one of their plates and, wow, it was glorious. My legs and feet felt rejuvenated for the rest of the afternoon.
I have a vibrating platform. I love it! I’m 63. I walk my Shepsky daily as weather allows. I drive a school bus. The relief I feel after a 10 min session is wonderful/amazing. It relieves stress after a day on my feet. It gets me going in the early am hour before I leave the house for work. After listening to your video about it, I’m sure to enjoy it more and maybe add in my Teeter 6lb bar bell weight. I tell anybody about it. I’ve had a couple of coworkers purchase one. 🎉
Which machine do you have, if you don’t mind saying?
I worked in Medical Spa for many years we used vibration plate on regular basis for client after Fat reduction treatments to help process fat through the lymphatic system. FYI it is NASA technology was used after training and or mission due to muscle weakness to help strengthen then they discovered all the other added benefits it offers. So get to shaking it is amazing for so many things
Wow, that’s cool to know.
Actually invented and first used by Russian cosmonauts. Stolen by NASA...
I also have a vibration plate, mine has arms like a big walker. After 10 minutes I feel chilled out. After 20 minutes I feel like I’ve had the best deep tissue massage followed by a jacuzzi soak. It’s one of the best gifts I’ve purchased for myself 😊
haha I love this description.❤️ Do you get itchy at all when you do 20 minutes? I still find I get itchy around 18 minutes in!
Hi... which one do you have with the arms? My problem is that i always have painfull arms and shoulders
@@mienmien2247 The spelling on the machine is curious so I’ll write it two ways: Aminiture but it looks like Allliniture.
@@TheScienceofSelfCare 😂I was so happy to hear you speak about the itching because I thought it was just me 🤣. My machine has 3 presets that only last 10 minutes. So lately I’ve been doing circuits so I haven’t felt it. But in the past when I felt like I wasn’t ready to stop I’d restart immediately and be scratching while shaking 🫨. I never thought to associate it with time. Thanks a lot, now I wanna go itch😅
@@TheScienceofSelfCareI get itchy when I run and I hit the 20 min mark too… specially my hands
A month ago I bought one second hand and been using it 2 x 10 min (in morning and evening). What I noticed is the pain in my legs that was resembling to fibromyalgie has gone. It also helps me with posture, as I do my posture fitness routine on it and I feel like it builds the muscles faster that way as when do it without vibration plate. I also have hashimoto and read somewhere it would help reduce anti-bodies. Can’t find the study back, but I’m going to get a blood test to see if the claim is true.
For cellulite: a wooden gua sha routine from 3 tot 5 min on my legs morning and evening have made it as good as disappear in 2 weeks time. It’s magic. ;-)
Thank you for sharing!
I just saw a TikTok Shop ad for a vibration plate and came here to find out more info. I'm glad I found you! I have a lot of mobility issues because of arthritis and weight and I think this might be a good starting place for me. I do get migraines easily so I'm a little worried the vibrations might cause them but I'm going to try it out anyway. Funny that you mentioned the bathroom situation... while shopping on Amazon I did run across a review where the guy said that he was buying more toilet paper than before 😊 Thanks for all the helpful info! BTW your cheekbones are amazing ❤❤
After studying the vibration plates I asked my doc. I’m 78 and so that seemed like the thing to do before spending money. She said give it a try as they have been shown to improve circulation. I’ve been using it a couple of weeks now. Changes in the way I feel were immediate.
I’ve experienced much of what she describes. As for the GI track, I had not attributed the sudden regularity to the machine. However, my bladder insists that she will not ride the machine unless she is empty.
One advertisement was that the plate could help with weight loss. I doubt that, I usually feel hungry when I finish!
Because I’m old I decided to begin cautiously. I began by sitting on a chair, feet on the plate, hands on knees and elbows on thighs. I like the way it made my arms as well as my legs feel
After a few days I got brave. I placed my house ladder so that I could hold on to the handle and stepped on the plate. Yeah. Good idea. I’m now doing half time standing (and holding) and half sitting.
Standing, my head vibrates and I can see where it would not be good on a headache day. I’m still working on how to avoid the head-rattle.
I do get hot doing the plate, but I can break out in a sweat doing my QiGong practice, so that may be just me
So far, so good.
If your knees are bent a little, your legs will absorb more of the vibration, and less will get to your head. Make sure to keep holding onto something for balance if you need to.
Or bend forward slightly at the waist so the vibration doesn’t go straight up thru your body to your head.
Start at the slowest speed for few minutes. If feeling comfortable try increasing the speed slowly for a longer period.
Once you are comfortable with the settings later on, do it for 10 to 15 minutes per session, may 2 or 3 times a day. Good to drink warm water after each session to hydrate & clear toxins from from the body . My 2 cents 😂☕
Thank you for sharing your suggestions!
Regarding cellulite: if you pinch your fat and roll it between your fingers does it feel grainy like little rice nodules? If so than it’s probably hereditary, and could be lipedemia (not lymphedema) .
It’s basically white fat or stress fat and it’s much harder to lose. Unless you start fasting, in that case it can be turned into brown fat which you can easily lose by exercising. Hope this helps someone 💟💜💟
Lipedema is a progressive disease. The lipedema fat does not respond to diet and exercise. Bisceral gat and regular subcutaneous fat respond to diet and exercise, but lipedema fat does not, and can increase with hormonal changes.
@@Yuri-carrera lipedema is not the same as cellulite
@@diannemarchese4808 not once did I ever say that.
@@Yuri-carrera the post you are commenting on is about lipedema (which many people confuse with cellulite). The OP is explaining that what you think is cellulite may actually be lipedema. Fascia blasting does nothing for lipedema except cause pain and extreme bruising which the creator of the fascia blaster never mentions.
I didn't see anyone mention fascia blasting but I must admit it worked MIRACLES for my celluite. Now I will get on the vibration plate after now. Thanks@diannemarchese4808
I just bought one and I’m in love. Its so true what you say, its soothing to the mind not just the body
First of all, this is an outstanding review of the product, so thank you! Secondly, I’d like to thank everyone in the comments section that put their 2 cents in and offered tips, tricks, and suggestions as well as how they benefited from this product! Now I will definitely buy one!
I like this video. I just wanted to say that maybe you should do a video on your skin care routine. Your skin looks amazing.
She has an older video on her skincare
Your skin looks amazing!!!!!
I once read that patients, who were bed ridden, having vibration stimulation on their feet(so not even standing they’re bed ridden) had better posture than those when they were finally able to get out of bed. I think there is something to say that stimulating the nerves of the feet tell the brain they’re still in use.
I love the vibration plate, it's part of my morning routine. Funny I noticed the itching and pooping too. I have had plantar fasciitis on and off for 20 years a few months of this device and no flare ups. I also feel very solid on my feet after use. It's a net positive in my life, and I have the cheapest version, I'm gonna put this brand/model on my wishlist for sure.
I’m glad you mentioned plantar fasciitis. I suffered with it many years ago, and by accident I fixed it by using my thumbs and put pressure on my calves. By applying deep pressure all around in the calf area, it cured the plantar fasciitis. Using the vibration machine does make sense as another way to fix this.
I just got a Lifepro Waver. I like it. I think I am lucky I didn’t get one with 3 motors going all whichaways…it has pre-set programs with 99 levels of vibration, lasting 15 minutes, changing speeds after every one minute. By the time you find the pose that really gets the jiggle going, then you turn and do it the other side and the minute is up. Beeps, oh boy, we’re going up! lol. No itchy skin, BM, or dizziness. I sat down and did some tricep dips, and that was a little too much vibration for my shoulders, but this machine also lets you just do a few minutes at a lower level. I sit all day and my feet swell, so it does seem to get the blood moving out of them.
It definitely helps blunt my blood sugar response after a meal. I've been wearing a cgm and monitor the rise after a meal. If it starts going higher than I want and I do a session on the plate, the level drops back very quickly.
What plate are you using?
Growing up in Southern California, as a family we would go to Knott's Berry Farm and they had vibrating plates in the park. So we would go on the water rapids ride and then cash in our quarters and sit on them while drying our clothes in the sun. It's a core memory from childhood, and they made me so good after walking and standing for hours.
Omg! I remember these too! Whenever I would visit my dad in CA for the summers,We Would go often! The free beer they gave the adults made sure we were there a lot! 😂
I put mine in front of a cabinet whose top is at eye level. I place my kindle fire and a pair of 5 pound arm weights and watch movies, RUclips and do a few lifts. I just need to do it more. This video will inspire me to take it more seriously!
Yes! It does keep one regular … true. I am 76 and my massage therapist recommended the platform to me several years ago. I was off balance from nerve damage after surgery and it has helped, along with improved mental clarity and energy. My grandkids lovingly laugh when they find me on the machine! I think it has also helped with maintaining muscle during dieting; and if I do overindulge - I pop right onto my machine and actually sleep better. Finally, in addition to the suggested electrolytes, drink plenty of water, eat lots of fruits and vegetables and stay positive. It’s a great life.
it helps lipedema ! it’s otherwise not easily treatable, not at all curable, but this helps ! gets the stuck lymph moving again. and doesn’t hurt. 😊
The mini trampoline is good also for draining lymphatic system.
Thank you got this video. I bought mine and have been using it for the last week. I feel amazing and haven't needed to drink pain medication since using my machine. I have a different model from yours, but it's been helping greatly. I have fibromyalgia and I suffer from so much pain. My pain went from a daily 7-8 down to a 1, without needing medication. I will update in 6 months. I use my plate a minimum of 2 times a day. I'm loving it!
I think the benefits would be similar to rebounding (mini trampoline). So this might be rebounding benefits for those that can't rebound. Rebounding is more of a workout because the muscles contract with every bounce (they contract more than running does, while alleviating impact on knee joints). The benefits of vibration is that they would loosen fascia up quicker perhaps. Fascia is white scaffolding around muscles responsible for transporting hydration throughout the body. Without movement fascia starts to tangle and knot up. Movement shakes them back into good flow formation. Hence feeling more alive after vibrating because hydration flow through fascia has been made more efficient. The reason to bring up rebounding is 2 fold. More exercise for time spent, if people are wanting exercise benefits of growing muscle and stamina, potentially more fat loss. The other reason is cost of a rebounder can be cheaper, especially off brand ones (look for bungees, not steel springs) . Skip rope is even cheaper still, but it exhausts quicker and doesn't protect knee joints like rebounding does. Better yet is skip frolicking barefoot in grass 🙂 (where available) Some people stand on a rebounder at their standing desk. Personally it helps me get some light exercise in while dealing with CFS, and it really helps lymph drainage, which clears brain fog.
Thank you! I have CFS and Fibro and have been considering getting a rebounder. I am definitely going to give it a try!
I wanted one of these plates to help with osteoporosis; I did some reading on it and found a woman named Becky Chambers who wrote a book about these. Those with more than one motor can have the opposite effect - the motors will not move in exact synchronicity, so there will always be a small desynchronization and that is not desirable. One motor only is recommended.
Becky's book is the best source of information on WBV that I have found. I always keep two copies in the house...one for me to use and one to give to friends who I introduce to WBV.
I've had my new vibration plate for about two to three months now and it started using it more regularly everyday, and have just started noticing tidbits of itching places on my brow on my leg or different places on my feet thinking it was a problem and after watching your video, now it all makes sense. Also the bowel issue I noticed that just today. I stepped on it for about a minute and a half before I had to stop it to go to the restroom.
I love this video you put on here! It's very informative and I can now use it as selling point for my wife to start using it in moderation and with modifications! She will probably have to keep one foot on solid ground somewhere because she learned two years ago that she had broken her foot and didn't know it for a whole year until the third doctor had told her that was the case. She has diabetes, is overweight, takes several medications, has occasional headaches, almost daily has neck and back aches where I have to massage the pain out of her because nothing else seems to work, and has bow issues for unknown reasons.
SO ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!

Thanks!
I’ve used mine post surgically to help with the lymphatic drainage. I started doing 10 mins per day whilst sitting down and now I’m doing it standing. I’m really pleased with it.
Thank you so much for that bit of information. I am interested in helping my lymphatic system activate itself since as of late I feel like I'm always bloated and puffy
@@chopper444trr it's great for lymphatic drainage. I just have a cheap used one and I use it for exactly this.
After watching your previous video, I got a vibration plate as a recovery tool for my husband who suffered x2 heart attacks and has impaired movement. It helps. Especially on days where he’s not so mobile, he uses the plate while seated in his wheelchair. It improves/maintain muscle tone in calf area/ankles. Thank you Robin!
Yay!! I’m so happy the vibration plate is working for your husband. ❤️
And thank you for reporting back! It’s always really nice to hear about other people’s experiences since I can typically only observe/report on my own. :)
Wishing you a beautiful week,

Does he have a defibrillator??
My wife (67) and I (86) love our vibration plates. We have 3 of them. One has Linear vib. and the others are Oscillating. We use them 2 or 3 times each day at 40 hz and high amplitude. We Highly recommend them to all who are able to use them.
I have the Lifepro Waver Mini. I am 77 years old. I have worked out my entire life and continue to do so. I do weight lifting using a DVD for the routines that work a different part of my body each time. I decided to get the Waver Mini because it was within my budget and I wasn't sure if I would like it. I have experienced the itchiness occasionally and the feeling of having to use the bathroom when I am on it. I have never had constipation problems, but that definitely would help those who do! I do squats when I am on the machine, but my main workout is the weight lifting. When I finish my weight lifting sessions, I get on the vibration platform to do the cool down. My machine has 9 levels of workouts. I do level 9 for 15 minutes each use.
I have scoliosis and I use the vibration machine everyday for a non-surgical treatment. Basically your brain automatically remembers your posture much better while the machine is activating the tiny muscles in your whole body. So in my case I put a specific device/weight to straighten my spine, and stay on the vibration machine for certain minutes. There should be evidences found by scoliosis doctors. And I'm sure the device is effective for regular bodies for the same function.
Which device/vibration plate do you use? I have 45 degree curve (not going surgical route as long as it does not progress) and would love to know the details of which plate you use for your scoliosis!!
I came to the comments wondering if I might find anyone discussing this. Have you noticed any changes?
Brilliant idea!
Makes perfect sense.
I just got me one since its prime day and the vibration plate Ive been eyeing for months went on sale. It will be here Monday! As someone who is a sensory seeker and also needs to exercise and has chronic pain I am really hoping this becomes a new thing in my everyday routine
which one? i want to buy it too!!
Amazing tip! I just checked and the plate I have is on prime day sale as well: amzn.to/46qfynL
Currently 100 bucks cheaper than what I paid!! Haha 🧡💸
It has tonded my body and lost weight in menopause ❤♥️🌹🌹 thank you 👍
Wooohooo! Thanks for sharing! I love to hear personal experiences. ❤️💪 which model do you have?
For toning and weight loss, how often and for how long do u use it?
Yes love to know model and usage for toning muscles, thank you!
Love my vibration plate and purchased from your OG video. It really gives me a SURGE of energy that is almost manic in the BEST way! My only trouble is, as with most beneficial things, staying consistent! Yet another wonderful video and loved that your sister made a debut! Also…your mom is a badass!
@@RundownwithRachel thanks Rachel ❤️ yes-my mom is a badass! Haha I still have yet to give rebounding a real try! I know you’re the OG rebounder. Would love to know you’re thoughts on how these compare :)
@@TheScienceofSelfCare oh man what a loaded question! The vibration plate has been incredible for a quick energy boost whereas I find rebounding is so much more gentle but also powerful in its own right. The tricky part about rebounding is being able to recognize all of the benefits that I can’t notice on a conscious level. That would be something so interesting to get your take on. As you are EXTREMELY self aware and observant.
I bought one after trying one and discovered it made my fibromyalgia waaaaaaaay better. I was in tears of joy after 10 mins of use and couldnt stop talking about it because i was pain free for the first time in years. I bought one immediately and have had nothing but excellent results. Everything you said in this review i agree with completely. I have had it for 12 years now. The itching is from microtears in your tissues and the healing that your body is doing. It sends chi to all parts of your body to heal.
I just got a vibration plate. After my son and I used it for the first time, we both had to #2 immediately. I was laughing because no one has ever mentioned that before, lol.
Haha glad to know it’s not just me! 💩🧡 thanks for sharing
@@TheScienceofSelfCare I don't have one (yet, I'm tempted, and have four tabs open with different ones) but I also find this side effect after doing the health bounce on my mini trampoline.
That’s the first thing I thought. Stimulate a BM
@@JAMtheKnittersame! Guaranteed result 😉
I’m one of the people who doesn’t love the sensation but I use mine religiously. It was recommended to me by a physical therapist for lymphedema. There’s is a good bit of research on how it can help stimulate the lymphatic system and at times has even been more effective than the pneumatic pump.
I have definitely noticed a mood lift from my vibration plate. I also try to focus on breathing while I’m on it, so I assume the increased oxygen + blood circulation is probably helpful. Thanks for both reviews!
Thank you for your balanced review. I recently purchased the Waver (2 wks ago) & am working my way up to higher speeds. The Rumblex seems to be the machine to get as I master this one better. I'm an active 74 yr old & believe it's helping me in various ways. I plan to share this link with others in my family to improve their health. Thankx again!
I have had mine since 2019 and yes best purchase I’ve ever made
I really enjoyed this video♡♡ I hope you if you do another in this category you might take the time to study the lymphatic system. You touch on toxins and lactic acid and your cellulite, but informing viewers of how that gets moved by the vibration plate would be so so helpful. The lymphatic system is so under-studied.... ❤❤❤just a thought thank you for the video and all your information ♡
You are spot on MAMA…. I researched everything you said and I am sold on this .. great vid great tutorial thankyou.
I bought a semi-commercial machine, a Hypervibe G17 because I needed to lose weight from over 230kg and so I needed something with a bit of grunt behind it, but it was at a 'think more than twice' about it price point of AUD$5,500. I fit very much into the category of getting started again in physical activity which is my main use case, but supporting thoughts were I had fallen down some stair ten years ago resulting in a hematoma --> then infection --> large debridement --> compromise lymph system in that leg, so perhaps the machine would help with that in the long term. Also my mum had recently died from a cancer that had eaten away at her hip, so I was thinking a bit about bone health etc. I support your anecdotal conclusions. I do think it helps with promoting regularity and if I'm wanting to bring my schedule forward then I might hop on for that particular purpose. I do like the feeling but my brother hates it so I would agree its probably important to try one before you buy if you can. I'm using it more as a 'floor' to my activity and for the massage like feel after being on it. Its easy to stand or sit on it for ten minutes in the same way as sitting in the sauna for 30 minutes keeps the momentum of doing something each day. At the start that was pretty much it but as I get closer to 200kg I know the heavy lifting is actually being done on the treadmill, stationary bike and, well the '"heavy" lifting'. The other think I would note is depending what you are trying to achieve how you use a machine might be different but that seems part and parcel with all wellness machines and devices. My friend who is a healthy weight jumps on it and uses the programs (and really enjoys it), while I only use the manual settings and her feedback is a wish to temper some as the programs as they can be a bit 'zero to a hundred' which I feel is a similar to your user interface comment. I realise not everyone can drop the amount of money I did on the machine, but if assuming you're not going to burn out any motors like me, then I think focusing on Robin's point about the quality of the direction of the movement will mean you can pick up a great machine at a reasonable price. The alternative is to consider starting a tiktok with slow motion vibrations of a fat stomach, set to stirring music, to recover the expenditure. 🤔
😂
I was not expecting that last sentence. 😂
Love a vibration plate. I use the Power Plate at my holistic clinic and I really enjoy it. In that context it’s used for boosting lymph flow before an IonCleanse ionic footbath to get rid of toxins and old lymph. It really works! The footbath is always extra gross after I do it haha. I would love to have one at home, so I’ll be looking into this. Thanks for sharing!
I also use the Power Plate. I bought it over 20 years ago and it still works. I'm curious what ionic foot bath you're using if you see this comment. 🙂
@marlysbenitah its called IonCleanse!
@@healthfirstfreelancer thank you very much!
For the way you explain, talk, the honesty you project, I’ll buy anything you recommend. Thank you.
I so excited, I just ordered one! Thanks for the final push.
Thank you for this review. I’m considering getting one so this was helpful!
I have multiple handicaps and have difficulty exercising. I tried the vibration plate at the gym. I was able to use it with ease and I could feel a difference in my body. It's a great tool for handicapped people who can stand although you can get benefit from sitting on one. If you need a walker to stand, I believe that would be doable or you can mount a grab bar to the wall to hold onto while you stand on it.
Had this for a month or so. 26 pretty young but I have been in military with a combat job so I wear a lot of heavy gears and walking like crazy with like 30-40lbs strap on me. Also I’m a cop so I do heavy lifting. I tried out this Lifepro and the worst I can do is return it but this is the best $160 I ever spent. Help me recover faster from training, gym, 12hr shift of sitting, running do all kind of stuff that put a lot of pressure on my joints. I learned that It helps with joints and stuff and I need my body to be stronger to handle all these heavy gears I’m wearing. Also I heard it helps with losing weight too (just little) so there is that. Very good for whole body relaxation instead of tiny massage gun you have to run through whole body relaxation. I said worth a shot to try out guys.
Thank you! I have been considering a vibration plate for a couple of years for our family. We have multiple disabilities and illnesses in our family that make more rigorous exercise quite a challenge. Hearing your review has been very helpful!
Hands down the best review on social media. Thank you. It’s day two and I’m feeling some serious detox effect….almost like a hangover. Anyone else?
Wow that is too kind! I’m so glad you found this review helpful. 🤍 I definitely feel differently after doing it for so many months. When I first started, it felt crazy haha
great video! to help you with controls-cut a curved piece of plastic from a 2liter bottle-lay it over control area-should help!
Love this video because you've presented body functions and systems that help you with th e regular use of the vibration plate beyond the usual. I've seen countless " scientific " videos on how Nasa used them to prepare the astronauts for time in space and less gravity. You are a doll and glad you and mom are benefitting from it. Thank you for this! :)
Thank you! I am so glad you found this video useful. When I first heard about these plates I also just kept hearing it's a NASA technology that's good for a (vague) laundry list of things. It's very nice to actually use it consistently and see what's working. Do you have a plate yourself?
Thank you so much for posting your thoughts on your vibration plate - I've been waiting for this video! I purchased a non-LifePro vibration plate, so I don't think it has the 3 different wave types incorporated, however, I do feel the positive effects of the energetic vibrations. I just so happened to have my Levels CGM on this week, and I did some experimentation. If I get on the vibration plate immediately after eating a high-glucose meal (e.g. oatmeal), it blunts the spike temporarily, but 10-15 minutes after I'm done vibrating, my glucose will still spike. I use it at the 10 level, so I can't take more than 10 minutes at a time, but I wonder if I did a lower vibration for 20 minutes, if it would be more effective. Another experiment for another day.
Thanks for all of your insights!
You’ve answered all my questions!! Ordering mine now…Thank you!! 🙏
THANK you. You gave me an excellent idea to use after meals. I work from home and leaving is limited until my work tour has finished. But with this machine I can use during breaks until I get off to workout.
Yes! I also work from home and I truly feel it’s a helpful pick-me-up. I’m going to test moving my sessions to after lunch. :)
On a similar note: my greatest work savior is my walking desk, which is also great after meals. Walking intermittently on this thing is the only way I can stay at a computer for many hours without going insane!! Haha
@TheScienceofSelfCare I have a walking pad but walking and typing was difficult for me to do simultaneously. Any tips?
Hello. The skin itchiness after using the vibration plate could very well be due to stimulation of Mast Cells, resulting in degranulation of the mast cells, and therefore the production of histamines!! Anyone with Mast Cell disorders may want to research further. (Many people don’t even know that they have a mast cell condition…such as MCAS; Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.)
*Also… you personal may want to look into EDS; Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (another under-diagnosed condition, that many have, and don’t realize.) Your lankiness and “sway-back” posture are common hallmarks of EDS; most likely hEDS (Hypermobility-EDS). Are you very limber/flexible? (Just a thought. 🤷🏻♀️)
(I was a dancer a lot of my life. I always thought I was just flexible because of my dancing… but, many with hEDS end up in dance and gymnastics because of their hEDS. I received a recent diagnosis of both MCAS and hEDS very late in life… but, have had them both my entire life.)
Interesting video. 👍🏼(Vibration plates are also recommended for Lipedema!) I’ve thought about getting a plate, but it may activate/trigger my MCAS even more. Will need to research further. Thanks! 👏🏼
The itchiness happens to me and also when doing other exercise like walking. It happens more when it is cold out. I have considered MCAS as a source of my health issues but nothing comes back definitive. Thanks for your comment, I may revisit this now. 😊
@@Loa44k It’s very hard to get anything “definitive”. Basically, if you respond to “treatment”; your symptoms are reduced; you probably have it. (That is literally the way that many doctor’s “diagnose” MCAS.) There is (surprisingly) A LOT of great information online. Get educated. You may have to educate your doctor. It’s frustrating, and can be difficult finding a doctor to help you; complicated reasons for this. There are also a lot of supplements with which you can treat yourself! And, DIETARY CHANGES are HUGE. Also lifestyle changes… figuring out your own personal “triggers” to the MCAS (like heat, UV light, stress, lack of sleep, etc… major hormonal events; like pregnancy and peri-menopause are huge triggers, as well). It seems overwhelming at first… and, unfortunately, it’s a long, slow road, but there is hope for improvement; though not a cure. Good luck!! 🫶🏼
@@KimDsmom Thanks. Yes, I have researched a lot on this in the past and haven’t found much improvement with meds. It’s hard to pinpoint dietary triggers but I definitely have environmental triggers. I have slightly high tryptase which may point to HaT. I always suspected mast cells in the itchy legs thing but haven’t read about it being the cause and of course doctors look at you like you’re crazy when suggesting this. 🤪 I need to find a good doctor that specializes in mast cell diseases. Thanks again. 😊
I watched both of your vibration videos and immediately ordered the same one you have! Thank you SO much for such a thorough video!!
I have noticed I go poop easier within 5 min or so after using the vibration plate for 10min 3x a day = 30 min.
I use it with a infra-red-light belt.
It helps drain my Lymphatic system/water retention and I have no more sciatic nerve pain in my arms, neck or legs 😊
I ordered myself one and I’m super excited to try this out!! Thank you for the video!!
I was dx-ed with lipedema(which can also come with hypermobilty and its associated joint issues) this year. In my researching I found people that suggested shake plates to help with the pain. It does help! It not only helped with leg pain from lipedema but also foot, calf, hip, and low back pain from multiple sclerosis!
I use it in the morning because my legs and hips are sore from laying on them in the morning from lipedema, and I use it at night to help my meds jump start the release of my muscle's spacicity, and neuropathic pain from MS.
I believe it's improving my joint health also. I don't turn my ankles as much anymore. I feel my balance has been improved in general.
I am SOLD! 😀 Hopefully my knees and hip will feel better. Osteoarthritis SUCKS! I appreciate the references.
ohmygosh yes. it's miserable
have you had any luck w cekebex?
Thanks for sharing! I hope this offers you some relief. ❤️ I would be so curious to hear what you think after several months :)
Thank you for this excellent video and your explanations, experience, thoughts. Easy to follow. I am 66, rather sedentary, 30 lbs over weight and have always had tight muscles due to skating as a youngster, walking and 2 severe muscular back issues in my 30's. Had i only known the benefits of stretching, vibration and good selfcare but with that being said. never too late to start. I did start gentle stretching about 2 years ago about 20 to 30 minutes a day and have added 15 minutes of walking in the cow pasture... slowed down due to the excessive heat and humidity here in Florida. My landlord mentioned his wife was using one for her back pain and wow she was smiling when I saw her last week. She is 81 and more active than me for sure. So, it got me to thinking....and seeking more infor and I really think this would be an excellent product to add into my selfcare routine. I am quite surprised that I have never heard of these types of machines in all my years especially since I was a massage therapist for several years and have had several homedics brand hand held massagers over the last 20 years.. better late than never for sure.... I am eager to start, get relief, get out more and enjoy life.... thank you and I will keep you posted.
My goal beside weight loss is to get oxygen into my blood.
So I have used the vibration plate 10min 3x a day [morn/afternoon/night]
I feel it has created a good routine for me and I'm about to add in a treadmill
[goal 3 miles daily] and weights to my routine.
This has been a life changer for me.
Changed my routine and living a little healthier.
😊I'm Unstoppable!😊
Plus my body feels amazing after i use it.
Its like being at a self care spa. 🌼🌸🌼
Thank you so much for your review. I just purchased this same model the other day on Amazon Prime day. I am looking forward to some of the benefits. While I don't expect the muscle tone and weight loss benefits, I hope that it will help with the aches I do get from my workouts to improve my workout experiences.
9:50 I used to do this too. It’s a combo of weak lower back and glute muscles. Strengthening the muscles can help with the pain long term.
If you get a La-Z-Boy massage recliner chair, you can turn on the vibrations and also adjust the temperature. Someone I know got two for their home office and wanted me to try the chair out whenever we were hanging in the office or working on a project. Vibrations do increase the frequency of my bowel movements as well.
I have to relisten to your skincare video your skin is gorgeous.
I have not explored beyond the 3 pre-programed routines. They so far provide enough variety to keep things interesting. I also like using the nylon hand straps (on the higher end LifePro models) to transfer some of the energy to my arms. The hand straps also would be useful for someone with balance issues.
I love it. Hop in it first thing in the morning, gets my circulation going and I feel awake and ready for the day. I can feel my muscles getting tighter and my energy feels lighter. Also a mood boost. Yes on the poop! Definitely keeps you regular
Thank you so much for your review and sharing of information. For some time I've been thinking of getting a vibration plate, but was hesitant due to the price and concerned that the information being shared about it wasn't accurate. I had an accident and difficulty recovering from knee surgery I was hoping a vibration plate would help my recovery. After the information you shared I think a vibration plate would be beneficial to me. Again, thank you. 🙂
One thing that has done wonders for my posture, muscle fatigue, and tendons, is by wearing zero drop shoes. My balance is also much improved. I suffered with plantar fasciitis, low back pain due to sway-back posture, etc. No more!
How does it help with your feet plantar fasciitis??
@@lindaheckert8495 Are you asking about the machine, or about the shoes?
I agree!!!! I have had terrible hip pain for so long and the zero drop shoes have been a game changer for me. From the moment I put them on I felt so stable, and my hips felt level. Over time the hip pain has gotten so much better. I also do the vibration plate and use a mini trampoline. I'm 64 and have been sedentary but feeling much better.
Thank you so much for the info, I am post menopausal, I now have a vibration plate in my cart. 😊
RUclips content at it‘s best, thanks for your helpful insights.
A really good review and a lot of beneficial information about the Vibration Plate. I just bought one and was looking for info - which you really do give. Thank you for sharing your opinion and review.
Thank you taking the time to make this video!! I love how you break down each topic, it makes it sooo much easier to understand!
Just subscribed!!
I recently placed an order for the LifePro Rumblex Plus 4D. This one has a feature that allows the screen to be locked via a remote worn on the wrist. I should be receiving this within the next 3-4 days and am looking forward to using it. I've been extremely sedentary over the last few years and have been experiencing edema in my legs and feet, which I believe is a combination of poor circulation in both my blood flow and my lymphatic system. It is my hope that using a vibration plate consistently will help improve the circulation issues along with lower back pain and set me up to be able to move more in other ways ... walking, light workouts, shopping, going out with my husband, etc. Thank you for your insight into using a vibration plate. Wish me luck.
I am 66 and use mine off and on for about 4 months. I have noticed that my back and my joints feel better. I also think it puts me in a better mood. I also agree with you about help with the vascular system and getting blood to the feet. My feet are not so numb and prone to cramping.the real test will be when I get my DEXA scan in about a year and a half since I have osteoporosis. I’m hoping it helps with that.
Yes! This is the review I was looking for thank you for braking all these great points! I wanted to buy one but no one really explained the machine nor their process and the science of it. 👍🏼
