I have a Lifepro Rumblex 4D but only use the oscillating mode. I stand on mine for 30 mins each night (10 mins on level 60, 10 mins on level 30 and last 10 mins on level 1). If I miss a day, my leg pain keeps me up all night. I have a medically fit compression pump but the vibration plate helps more than that does. My legs usually feel worse after using the compression pump. For my lipedema, the thing that helps the most is the vibration plate.
Thanks so much for sharing that, @chellemullen2283! I would also say I enjoy mine more than my pump - it's certainly easier to use and cost less money 🤣Have you ever tried doing the vibration before the pumping the way I do to see if that's any different? I'd be curious if you see benefits from doing them together like the women in the study. In any case, I'm really glad you've found something that gives you relief! ❤❤
I am interested in this one but so many Amazon reviews say that the machines quit working. Many had a replacement machine quit working as well. Have you had any problems and where did you purchase this machine Which 4D did you purchase. There are a number of versions.
I have found the same result, I try to never miss a day. I also have a lower body, non standing foot vibe plate. I have started using both at least once a day.
My sweet 23 year old son bought me two items for Mother's Day. A vibration plate AND a mini-trampoline! 😁❤️👍☺️ I've been doing what I can only describe as Keto (for 3 months) turned Keto-vore (for 3 days). I lost 17 lbs, with that 17th pound being SO HARD to get off. 🥺 Well I tried the vibration plate and trampoline yesterday, several times. I LOVE the feeling!!! I crave it. Woke up DOWN 1.2 lbs (after I peed like a racehorse this morning) knowing something is definitely different!
@honeybee6154 you have such a thoughtful son! It sounds like it's working too. If you find yourself running for the bathroom a lot it means you are draining your lymph and dropping swelling. I find my weight can swing up or down ten pounds within a day or two if I am swelling. Keep up the great work
WOW!!!! So it sounds like using this lymphatic vibration shakes the pee out of you?? I know if I walk a mile or so I have to pee so this vibration plate sounds like a great thing. So when you woke up DOWN 1.2 lbs and had to pee, was it close to bedtime when you used it?? Thanks so much. Your video is awesome and so are you. :) Scott in NC.
Absolutely the best thing I have purchased. I try to get on it 3 times a day for 15 minutes, morning, midday and evening. I have recently started using one of those shower brushes with the long handle and gently brush upwards from my ankles, all over my legs, and I can truly feel like a ants crawling feel under the skin, help that circulation and lymph flowing. Also I have always suffered from very cold skin on my thighs and ankles, sitting at my desk wrapped up in a blanket even in summer, but I have noticed since I got my vibration plate my skin is not cold any more and has a way smoother feel. It's only early days but the differences are very noticeable to me.
WOW!!!! Thats awesome news about your cold skin. You know why Doctors wont recommend the vibration plate? Probably because you may not need the doctor anymore. LOL LOL Thanks for sharing your story. :)
I’m a floor lying jiggler - in the exact same way you demonstrate. Now on your recommendation I’m soon to be a floor lying meditating jiggler. 😊I have the Lifepro Mini Waver because I can use it at home and bring it with me on our travels in our van. Travel, using compression garments and having had several vein surgeries, can still reek havoc for me especially in my legs. I have Lymphedema and Lipedema diagnosed by Dr Herbst 4 years ago. She prescribed the Flexitouch pump, which I use every single morning. I thought it was fantastic and relieved so very many of my leg and arm symptoms but once I started augmenting with the LifePro Mini Waver my leg symptoms have reduced to almost nothing. I honestly look forward to my jiggling sessions every day as it feels heavenly. (Weird way to put it, but that’s how much it has helped.). Being in the healthcare field, for as long as I have, I was cautiously optimistic but at the same time pessimistic about the vibration plate benefitting the lymph system. My only regret is it took me so long before I purchased mine. Thanks so much for your continuing education about this monster of a disease.
I am soooooo glad, thankful, blessed and excited to have found your channel. When I was diagnosed with both Lipedema AND Lymphedema, I thought that my life was over but now finding the excellent information you are offering, I finally have hope. I am also looking to GOD for a miracle. HE is the great Physician and Healer. I am going to do my part as well and that's where you come in. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart! ♥
Thank you for watching @bhumble3106! The beginning is the hardest part. Take it one day at a time, do what you can, and gradually you'll figure out what works for you ♥
I have not been diagnosed but I know that I have it. Started after COVID. Just in my legs. They feel heavy and swollen. I am in the health field so I knew about compression hoses and such. Did get an infrared sauna bag which really helps. However, this is the first about the vibration. I’m totally into it. Thank you so much
@frstygrl3518 did you end up trying vibration? How did it go?! Curious about the sauna bag and how your swelling responds to it. Sometimes they discourage saunas for us because the heat can increase swelling. It probably feels heavenly though!
I think my situation had started before Covid, however I’ve always thought it silently at first changed my physiology - lipedema much worse. Carnivore is the way to go 🥩
I just want to give you a shout out like all the other people and tell you how wonderful your channel is. I have ordered a vibrating plate even though I have an $8000 compression garment set up at home. I also love the infrared light I had no idea that can help Tim so I’ve ordered that as well. Also, I can’t believe they make leggings that are like compression garments I would’ve never found that company if it wasn’t for you. You are simply a blessing. Thank you so much for putting the time and work into this we all appreciate you.❤
I found out I have this condition when I hit menopause and took a break during the winter in a log cabin passing the days learning to watercolor…omg I blew up! I couldn’t reach the floor! Up until then I just thought I had a super ugly body. Your information is terrific, thank you!
This video just popped up on my YT homepage. I was diagnosed with Lymphedema back in 2018 after having had both of my knees replaced. I bought a rebounder as well as a vibration plate, mine is an AXV Vibration Exercise Machine. It has not bothered my knees at all, thank goodness. I have also lost 100 lbs and maintained that loss with the Ketogenic way of eating that I talk about on my YT channel. I have subbed to you and shared this with another.
@cindydemanche3839 congratulations on your success! I'll check out your channel to learn more about what you've been up to. Rebounding hasn't made it into my routine yet but it looks like so much fun
Look up the celluciser for a rebounder. Its made with titanium which is used by nasa. Don't have swelling but have the vibration plate and wanted to know more about it. You are realty good at what you do.☺️
I also have the Lifepro 4D. I love it. I do 10 to 15 min at a time. I stand and exercises. I too lay on the floor with my feet on plate. Sometimes I sit and hold my small dogs to give them vibrations. Sometimes I do planks or push-ups. So many ways to use. Love it love it.
@terrystockton1113 I love that your pup gets involved too :D My cat comes running when she hears me turn mine on and she lays right next to me on the floor. I've always thought the vibrations must feel like purring or something to her - ha! It sounds like you have a solid (and fun!) routine in place
Hi! New sub here. I just want to say thank you for the massive amount of information and resources you have provided. I just ordered the plate you recommended and can't wait to shake, rattle, and roll! I believe I've been undiagnosed since about 13. Reading and hearing all these comments makes me feel less alone.
If you are "flying blind" then you are doing it like the rest of us, @karyn4795 🤣🤣 I learned so much of what I know from the experiences of other women. Please do come back and share with us anything that you learn! ❤❤❤
I second that ❤Thank you for your video. I have a vibration plate, and I use it for Lipedema. I stand by it, but I will try your suggestions. I don't use it consistently, but I will start. I have a small one under my desk for during the day. I appreciate you!
I love to do workouts on my vibration plate. My favorite is a 20 min daily workout. The benefits are numerous. When i skip or get off track, i really pay for it.
I just ordered a vibration plate over the weekend for fibromyalgia, lymphatic drainage and low back pain. The pain has become too much and I just discovered this device. I’m excited to see if it helps!
If you're not doing it already, I have found a lot of back pain is associated w tight muscles, especially in the legs.... a roller/rumble roller and Pso-rite give tremendous relief.
Block therapy, and the self healers protocol, are two more things yo look at. personally, I favor the Becky Chambers vibration products, that's what I chose from my husband. I have contraindications for using a vibration plate of any kind except to put one body part on at a time, for short periods. I advise everyone to double check for contraindications before purchasing any vibration plate. I had a negative experience after a chiropractor put me on one (it was part of his adjustment protocol). He should've checked for contraindications. I ended up back at the ophthalmologist.
Love my Lifepro Waver. Have had one a couple years, as my Lipedema advanced to having lymphedema also. Have never tried my calfs on it, will have to try it. Thank again for sharing!!
I am a new subscriber. I am so glad I found your channel. I was diagnosed with Lipedema last Friday. My doc recommended me a vibrating plate and a pump, and as a last resource a plastic surgeon (not just any doctor), and of course the compression leggings. I bought the plate that you recommend and I used it today for the first time. It felt great. I am stage I, and I am not overweight. My lipedema is mainly on my things and that is it. However, I have been an avid fitness enthusiast for several years; but no matter how much I exercised, I couldn't and still can't get rid of that awful mushy fat in my thighs. I suspected I had it because my mom and sister have it very badly. I bought the compression leggins that you recommend and how in the world do you put them on? It is extremely difficult for me to put them on. I am ready to give up on that, is there another option? I have always used tight leggings for my gym classes and I think that helped a lot, I can handle that. Also, did you try ablation procedures for the vein insufficiency. I also been diagnosed with that. I wonder, do I do that first before the liposuction? Have you done liposuction? I will make a consultation with the surgeon that my doctor recommended and see what is all about. As far as diet, I read that you followed the Keto diet and helped you a lot. Unfortunately, my doc didn't recommend it for me but said that a Mediterranean diet would be perfect, which I have been doing it all along. As long as I am careful with the carbs. I notice immediately if I overdo it on the carbs. Also, about the pump, I don't think I am yet there to use a pump. However, I bought me a device called The Curve which is a manual vibration/led machine; so I am going to start using it. Uff! so much to do with this awful disorder or syndrome or disease, which is it? Sorry, I went overboard, but I would appreciate your insights. God bless!
Hi @mbartra! Sorry for my slow reply. I was on a self-care break of my own. How are you doing now that you've settled into the diagnosis a bit? I'm so glad the vibration plate feels good - it's one of my favorite things. The leggings are always the worst when they are new, but loosen up after a few wears. I've never tried this hack, but I know a lot of women find them easier to put on with rubber gloves. Think the kind you might use to wash dishes or clean the bathroom. If they are truly uncomfortable, see how you do sizing up. For my veins, yep, I've had a few rounds of ablations and sclerotherapy first in 2020 and again in late 2023. (Look for my videos about that.) It helped a lot with my swelling. I have not have liposuction but it's a very personal decision. I'd be guided by your doctor's advice on whether to do the veins first, but most of what I've read suggests it's best to do that first. Check out some of the Facebook groups is you want advice on surgery or specific doctors. Good luck and let us know how you are doing! Big hugs ❤❤
I agree with all said by both of you! Rebecca, you need to understand how positive your messages are here, and how much you've helped many. Speaking for myself, lipedema is extremely overwhelming, and lonely. It's hard to find support, understanding, and treatment. I am going to try the vibration. You are a great resource, and a treasure!
Thank you for all the information. I had been thinking of buying a vibration plate and am now convinced it will be beneficial. I look forward to your videos and reading all the other ladies comments it makes me feel like I am not on my own
I'm so glad it was helpful @jackiehood170! I know they are a little pricey, but you can find good deals if you are patient and watch for a sale. Come back and let us know how it goes if you get one! 💕 and PS you are SO not alone! Giant hugs 🤗
Thank you. I was just wondering if you have any tips to easily put on the compression leggings i purchased that you recommend in an earlier video. I have watched a few ways on RUclips but I am still struggling. There is no substitute for experience and thought maybe you could pass on any tips
I have had my LifePro Rumblex 4D vibration plate since 2018 and got it when the company was in its early startup phase. I went directly to LifePro and it is by far the best piece of equipment to help manage this disease. I have both Lipoedema and for years knew something was wrong-it was a knee surgery that caused my right knee and thigh to swell - the surgery should have been a simple one, but because doctors didn’t know or care to understand how lymph nodes could be damaged, I became a victim of their lack of knowledge and paying the price.
@commoncore49 it's great to hear that the vibration plate was such a help - and that it is going strong all these years later! I too have really appreciated LifePro as a company. Sending big hugs
Hey, Rebekah!😊🤟🖖✌️ Q: What exactly do you mean by "too much of a good thing" when referring to vibration therapy? What can happen?🤷 I recently became aware of even the term lipodema. This answers so, so, so many questions for my life struggles. I'm beginning this new journey & tough protocol now. ✝️☝️🙏🙌👏🙌🕊 Your channel has added a lot of much needed information to my toolbox, so THANK YOU!! You are a blessing and inspiration!
I use a Chi Machine every day and it has help quite a bit with my fluid release/fat deposits. It was originally invented for Lymphedema. I have not been diagnosed yet for lipedema.
@bettesmith1117 thank you for sharing! I had never heard of a chi machine, so now you've given me something new to research 🤓 It's helping and you are feeling good! ❤
That's a great tip, @bickibrown5489! I haven't been to a Planet Fitness in years and had no idea they now offered vibration plate and red light. I'd be curious whether that's all locations or if you just hit the jackpot 🤔 In any case it's wonderful to hear those are becoming more common ❤❤
Hello Rebekah, I hope your well 😊 😘 thank you for sharing this upload regarding Vibration Plate, I will definitely buy one thanks to your video.. I can imagine myself dancing 🎶 on the plate😂. Thank you again and again for the information ℹ you share with us. I have learnt so much from you in the last six months 😊 bless 🙏 😇 you.. Have a fabulous week ahead x
Hi @kamwatson6128! I love the thought of you dancing on the plate 💃 It really comes in handy on those crummy weather days it's hard to get outside - I think you get those every so often over there?! 🤣 Good luck finding a plate that works well for you! Do let us know how it goes ❤❤ PS - don't forget to drink your 🌊
It is important to know that using a vibration plate for osteoporosis should be done at 25 to 30 hz (not all vibration plates have this) and 10 min per day (emphasis on daily). I wonder what frequency is necessary for optimizing lipedema treatment?
@@Mysteriousprogamer- i'm not sure why oscillation is recommended when it's the vertical impact that makes bones stronger. I would look for a vertical motion product with low amplitude, myself, along with low hertz rate. Definitely something to do homework on before proceeding. I'm hearing great things about Osteostrong as well. I'm not sure of all the technology that they use, but the initial things I've listened to sound very positive.
After I had covid, this started. I rebounded before, but bought a vibration plate on Amazon ( life pro hovert 3D) I jump on in the am and before bed. It really helps the leg pain!❤ Thank you for making these posts!
I told my doctor last week I think I have lipedmia 😢,, she offered no advise no diagnosis I'm in Ireland and I don't know what to do ,, the pain and swelling has increased so much in the last month , can anyone help and tell me what to do next ?😢
Same experience here in Australia 3 different doctors not interested or offering any advice other than to lose weight. Some days I can hardly walk because of the swelling.
I'm thinking of going to the plastic surgeon who specializes in water assisted liposuction for lipedema to see if they can diagnose me and get me approved through insurance to have the procedures done.
Watch her shows and do it yourself. Forget your physician. Go keto diet, check if you have Histamine intolerance as well...means no fermented foods, no gluten, no dairy. Buy a vibration plate...even a used one. ❤
I bought one a couple of weeks ago. It is an Eilison. I use it by standing on it, laying down with my calves resting on it then switching back and forth to my legs bent with feet flat on it, sitting on it, and/or planking on it with my hands on it or my forearms. I think I am losing some fat. My belly looks like it is slowly reducing.
Just the info we needed... We have lifepro rumble x 4D. I would say, however, use compression while exercising. Keep the lymph vessels externally supported.
Hi @christinepastrama1275! They are CZ Salus. To get the colors you can shop their website: www.cizeta.it/en/ But I recommend finding the right size first through Amazon: amzn.to/42VsXlE You can return to Amazon more easily than the Italian store and even do free try-before-you-buy if you are a Prime member. Enjoy!
I am so excited for mine. I just bought one and mine comes with a handle bar that I tried and it helped immensely. Sitting helps but, I noticed the standing was great!
My Lifepro Waver plate is arriving tomorrow. I had surgery 2 mos ago for patella fracture so I’m going to go easy and probably sit for now. I’m 68 and don’t want to fall again. My knee is completely healed and my brace is off. I can’t wait to try it!
@janismcgovern5067 let us know how it goes! Remember, 15 minutes once or twice a day is plenty and to move lymph you just need the low settings. I use the pre-programmed 0-2 settings and it works great.
i bought my first unbranded plate 9 years a would lay on floor like you and also fall asleep. then 6 years i went and invested in a Hypervibe G10 fantastic machine then sold it ! 3 years on. but within year replaced i missed it to much for another G10 MINI from Hypervibe ,its used most days but only do ten minute max i learnt i get sore bones with more use. another fantastic investment i have made this year is a Bellicon mini trampoline the two are fabulous together but the Bellicon i have seen lots of added benefits .
@mandybeddoes9112 I'm glad to hear you have such a good routine in place! Bravo for investing in your self care. I've never used a Bellicon but I hear they are great! I've always thought rebounded looked fun but I'm not sure my downstairs neighbors would agree - ha!
I bought myself this waver for Christmas. It’s now May and I still haven’t plugged it in. Listening to you makes me think I need to give it a shot. Tyvm! 🤗
I’ve had my life pro for about 3 months now. I do 15 min every morning on level 30. I purchased mine to see if it would help with my neuropathy I developed from chemotherapy. So far it didn’t help. With that being said…I love my life pro and do my quick little arm weight workouts while I stand. Have tried any other positions yet but it’s on my radar…have fun people. It’s is fun right?
I am SOOOO happy that I'm not the only one who ops to lay down when using my vibration machine! I actually rig mine by placing a wooden board i have and bridge it between two parsons chairs and i sit the machine on the board. This is set up at the foot of my bed and now the machine is at the height of the bed. I lay on the bed with my legs lying on the machine and it feels awesome!! The issue is i also want to alternate between this arrangement and also set it on the floor to stand on it. So i constantly have to lift it on and off the floor & its very heavy. I've been doing this insanity for 5yrs now and luckily never dropped it. I dont recommend anyone else doing as i do... that said i intend buy an upgraded one and then keep my current one always platformed at the foot of my bed. 😅
@sabrinamcewen4328 you have no idea how many times I've considered rigging up something similar - ha! Thank you for the real life inspiration. And +1 to it being heavy. Talk about upper body workout :D
@@sturdywoman I appreciate your videos so much. I have fibromyalgia, diabetes and neuropathy but this last time i regained 80lbs back that i lost in in 2022 & i believe I may have what you are describing. I can't tolerate my cat walking on me, my fat feels differently on my body this time around and I've had a hard time trying to convey what I'm experiencing and your videos helped me tremendously
@kathleencrosby3986 floor club! Turns out there are a lot of us. Did I mention my cat loves it too? She snuggles right under my arm. I guess she thinks I'm purring? :D
Hello from Madrid, @sturdywoman I would like to know if vibration can reduce pain of if you can make a video with some of your tips, thank you for your chanel
I'm in the UK - we have a TV channel that sells vibration m/c's. They kneel in front of them and lean over and place their arms on the plate - this will work upper body. And they actually sit on the m/c - do you have thoughts about either of these/? I did used to do the arm one but felt like it was jigging my brain around and didn't like the sensation.
@mayabakir3882 there are a couple of links to research on vibration in the video description. In my personal experience, it only seemed to improve my circulation. Getting the swelling out of my legs and supporting my veins has actually reduced the load on my veins. But talk to your doctor! ♥♥
What compression is your leggings? Yea , I also have my vibration plate and i love it! I dont see any changes but feels AMAZING!!! I do also lay on floor also with my calfs across it and also sit on side of my bed with feet on it. Then sometimes just stand lol
Hi @tcooper802! In the video I'm wearing my favorite CZ Salus amzn.to/44iA3AA - but remember you don't need to wear compression while using the vibration plate... just every other time 😆 You're a Sturdy Woman after my own heart - there's no wrong way to use it 🤣 "Don't mind me! Just lying on the floor over here taking care of my health!" ♥♥
I bought a wbv board off Amazon n it’s great, it has 5 different oscillation patterns and it’s on the bigger side, it came with the attachable bands with handles to do resistance movements on it too. I like to lay on the floor also.. I’m Addis red to the tingle feeling in my body when it turns off. I also sit on one side of the board with my legs on the floor and let it bounce me around to help improve my digestion and loosen tight back muscles. Or I’ve placed my hands on each side of the board while on my knees and let my head hang down to loosen neck and shoulders. That movement shakes my skull and I love it, it helps me sleep. Some people don’t like the feeling of their cranium vibrating tho. Hmm what else,.. I can’t eat before I get on the board or I will be nauseated…
I just used my vibration plate for the first time, it felt like I had walked my dogs 3 times around my 3 acre property, I usually walk them one time around .
Hi @christinaday813! Is that a good or bad thing? Remember that to stimulate lymph you only need to use it on a low level and for about 15 minutes. I hope it is helping! ♥♥
@Paws4It that's it exactly. It is going to improve circulation and stimulate lymph drainage. Stagnant fluid encourages inflammation and causes swelling, which in turn can contribute to pain, fatigue, and all our other symptoms. A sluggish lymphatic system is a big part of our problem
Just used my LifePro Hovert for the first time. I just did ten minutes on the lowest setting, then put my legs in the air/against the wall to aid drainage. I can't wait until tomorrow to go again, it was fun! I wondered though if I go to the higher settings do I still get the lymph drainage benefit, or does it only work at the lower settings and then at the higher speeds it's a different benefits. My user guide really doesn't make it clear...
@fkj035 right?! ha! Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see if I can do some more (longer) vibration stuff for you in 2025. In the meantime, have you ever checked out Debbie Pelleter's channel? www.youtube.com/@debbypelletier
I love my vibration plate but the itch is so bad my legs react with tiny welps, like an allergic reaction that I have to animal fur. Very uncomfortable. I did a Google search and there is actually a condition that causes it but I don't remember the name of it. The recommendation was to take Benadryl before you get on the plate. I didn't like that idea so I thought maybe compression yoga pants might help keep the itch and welps at bay. What do you think?
Thank you for your wisdom and sharing your exercises. I just bought my Lifepro to help prevent osteoporosis. Questions for you… how often do you use it? How long do you use it each time? Does using it at night at first wake up the body or relaxes it? Blessings!
Hi @DebbieLynToomey! Great questions. Using a vibration plate is definitely one of those "less is more" situations. You can overdo it! I typically use mine once a day for 15 minutes at night before I use my pneumatic pump. There is some evidence to suggest it might make the pump (or MLD or dry brushing) more effective, likely before it gets everything flowing. I also went through a period where I added a second 15-minute session first thing in the morning before putting on my compression. I hope this helps! ❤
I have a compression boot but i stopped using it because its hard to get on because I have trouble reaching my feet. It has an auto shutoff after 15 minutes. Then if I need to get up like to answer the phone, I would have to take it off first and that's not easy. It didnt do enough to make it worth the trouble.
I love my vibration plate as well! I’m curious about cupping. I used to do it more often but recently it started to hurt a lot using it. I wonder if there is any information out there about using it and whether there are any benefits
@angeliquecummings7690 I've never done cupping. That's an interesting question, though! I'll see if I can find anything. Generally, though, I'd say that if something is painful it's probably time to listen to your body and take a break. ♥
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I AM NOT DIAGNOSED, BUT KNOW I HAVE IT, SO I HAVE TO TALK WITH MY DR. AND GET A VIBRATION PLATE. MY GIRLFRIEND HAS A ZAZZ AND LOVES IT AND USES IT EVERY DAY. I WONDER IF THE ZAZZ WOULD WORK LIKE A PLATE.
@pardalote yes, definitely! The vibration plate alone increases circulation and stimulates lymph flow. Pairing it with something else just boosts the effectiveness of the other thing. I hope that makes sense?
@kelleymoore6080 I would think so! To get the most benefit you might want to do some dry brushing before you start to open the lymph nodes in your knees, groin, etc. This will help everything more easily get up and out of your legs. I think the benefit with vibration plates is the WHOLE BODY part of it. It literally gets everything going :D
@DebraKlein-iv3eb I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner! This important thing to look for is that it oscillates, meaning it doesn't just shake it also tilts side to side a little bit. This up and down motion is really helpful for moving the lymph. I know the Life Pro Waver oscillates but I can't tell if the Hotwave does too. What I CAN say, is that Life Pro is just an awesome company. Their vibration plates have a lifetime guarantee meaning that if anything happens to it EVER they will replace it. Which one did you end up getting? I'm guessing you bought one by now
@susandarnell4837 a lot of people have success with keto! Including me :D Check out my Keto for Lipedema playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLGrmXtIzhSGLhEfRUCj_A45MG3A_rGIxO
This comment isn't about vibration plates, but I hope if I post it on your most recent upload you might still read it. I am so done with this lymphedema/lipedema/venous insufficiency! Unfortunately it's not done with me. I feel like my whole day every day is spent trying to deal with this nonsense. Massage, pump (that insurance is taking forever to approve), so I bought one on Amazon and it's hard to handle to get it all on; got a massage gun; doing reduction with bandages if I go to the therapist, reduction with, elastic garments by Circ-Aid myself at home; exercise; massage again; back into reduction; and elevating my legs at night. I can't even fit into any of the compression hose or garments. I am so discouraged and tired. Will it get easier?
Hi @bonniebarlow4939! You're right that it's easier for me to keep up with comments on newer videos - thanks for noticing that. I'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. It sounds like you are doing so many things right! I'm going to tell you what I've been telling myself lately, though. Stress is also bad and stressing about our condition and doing the right/wrong thing is counterproductive. Some days will be better than others and that's normal. Is there anything that brings you joy that you can do while you are doing some of the other things? I like to watch silly TV shoes, listen to podcasts, sit with my cat, etc. (She loves the vibration plate!) I hear you, though. I've definitely had days where it felt unfair, like "too much" and just plain discouraging. On those days I give myself permission to skip some things (like pumping) if I really don't want to do them and would like to just go to bed an hour earlier. On the compression, did you know that CZSalus does custom sizes? It runs about $100 US depending on the exchange rate (you have to buy in Euros). Check it out if you haven't found that yet: www.cizeta.it/en/Customized-sizes If you are getting MLD from a therapist you might have them help you do the measurements. Sending big hugs ❤❤
@simplecookingwithrabbiah1385 I focus on conservative treatments but I'm sure you will get some answers in the lipedema Facebook groups. Patients frequently share experiences with things like that there. Good luck!
Can you wear compression leg sleeves when using the waver. I have to sit on the couch when using the waver. What program do you recommend for beginner and how long? 0:51
I have been diagnosed with Lymphedema, and i also have fibromyalgia,I have a vibration plate. My thighs that seem to accumulating the swelling. Im worried about them becoming massive. What time length a day do you suggest start with first.
yes. There's A list of situations that are completely contraindicated and there is a list where caution and medical supervision is advised For temporary contraindications and situation's were a very gradual approach is needed. Like beginning with just one body part, or a very gradual progression. Becky Chambers has that information on her website. she's been doing this for a long time, and has her own ideas about the proper movement of these machines. More and different isn't always better, in fact it can be disrupting to the body in a bad way. According to her. I would point people to her if they are fragile in any way, or getting older and wanting to use it for as long as possible, or wanting to use it for a family that has members of different levels of fragility. I recommend her gentle 500 for the elderly for sure, or a larger platform version with the ability to be that gentle, plus a stabilizer bar. The nice thing about the gentle 500 is that it doesn't take up nearly as much floor space. I got one for my husband, (I have contraindications for standing on it and getting the full benefit of the vibrations). So far so good. We are able to locate it in a logical place between bathroom and bedroom so it's easy to use as part of the daily routine. Whatever you get, I think it's important to make sure that it gets used regularly. And sometimes that's all about the real estate mantra that says "location, location, location."
@dollykafloppers4515 The Lipedema Foundation has a Provider Directory here: www.lipedema.org/provider-directory and there is a patient-reported list maintained by the Lipedema Project here: lipedemaproject.org/lipedema-lipoedema-lipodem-provider-directory/ If neither of those are helpful, I recommend joining one of the regional Facebook groups for lipedema and asking there. But remember, you really only need a formal diagnosis if you want a pneumatic pump or liposuction. Good luck!!
@jhancock1838 sorry you are having trouble! There is a written version on the blog and also a transcript available above in the video description. sturdywoman.com/2023/07/10/vibration-plates-for-lipedema-and-lymphedema/ Thanks for watching ❤
Thank you for this information. I’m struggling with lymphedema after double mastectomy in 2021 and dealing with my husbands dementia now and non mobility issues/depression . I do not have much for insurance now and just looking for help in exercises and keep my body in motion. The pain my body feels in lower back and legs… haven’t been able to figure out if it’s the 100 lbs I gained in the last 3 years or if there is something else wrong. Lipedema would make sense. I will start catching up on the videos and learning what I can do to feel better .
@lfuentes4098 I live in an upstairs apartment too. It's very quiet, nearly silent! I have a creaky wood floor so I use it on a rug just to be safe but have never had a complaint. I've had it for more than three years across multiple neighbors and have never had any comments! My washing machine however... :D I hope this is reassuring
I have a Lifepro Rumblex 4D but only use the oscillating mode. I stand on mine for 30 mins each night (10 mins on level 60, 10 mins on level 30 and last 10 mins on level 1). If I miss a day, my leg pain keeps me up all night. I have a medically fit compression pump but the vibration plate helps more than that does. My legs usually feel worse after using the compression pump. For my lipedema, the thing that helps the most is the vibration plate.
Thanks so much for sharing that, @chellemullen2283! I would also say I enjoy mine more than my pump - it's certainly easier to use and cost less money 🤣Have you ever tried doing the vibration before the pumping the way I do to see if that's any different? I'd be curious if you see benefits from doing them together like the women in the study. In any case, I'm really glad you've found something that gives you relief! ❤❤
I am interested in this one but so many Amazon reviews say that the machines quit working. Many had a replacement machine quit working as well.
Have you had any problems and where did you purchase this machine
Which 4D did you purchase. There are a number of versions.
I have found the same result, I try to never miss a day. I also have a lower body, non standing foot vibe plate. I have started using both at least once a day.
My sweet 23 year old son bought me two items for Mother's Day. A vibration plate AND a mini-trampoline! 😁❤️👍☺️
I've been doing what I can only describe as Keto (for 3 months) turned Keto-vore (for 3 days). I lost 17 lbs, with that 17th pound being SO HARD to get off. 🥺
Well I tried the vibration plate and trampoline yesterday, several times. I LOVE the feeling!!! I crave it.
Woke up DOWN 1.2 lbs (after I peed like a racehorse this morning) knowing something is definitely different!
@honeybee6154 you have such a thoughtful son! It sounds like it's working too. If you find yourself running for the bathroom a lot it means you are draining your lymph and dropping swelling. I find my weight can swing up or down ten pounds within a day or two if I am swelling. Keep up the great work
I’ve been seeking out a mini trampoline (rebounder) as well. You have a great son which means he has a great mom. Pray all works well.
What does the mini trampoline do
WOW!!!! So it sounds like using this lymphatic vibration shakes the pee out of you?? I know if I walk a mile or so I have to pee so this vibration plate sounds like a great thing. So when you woke up DOWN 1.2 lbs and had to pee, was it close to bedtime when you used it?? Thanks so much. Your video is awesome and so are you. :) Scott in NC.
Race horse 😂😂😂
Absolutely the best thing I have purchased. I try to get on it 3 times a day for 15 minutes, morning, midday and evening. I have recently started using one of those shower brushes with the long handle and gently brush upwards from my ankles, all over my legs, and I can truly feel like a ants crawling feel under the skin, help that circulation and lymph flowing. Also I have always suffered from very cold skin on my thighs and ankles, sitting at my desk wrapped up in a blanket even in summer, but I have noticed since I got my vibration plate my skin is not cold any more and has a way smoother feel. It's only early days but the differences are very noticeable to me.
You might have parasites, huge cause of broken lymph
Great info, thanks.
WOW!!!! Thats awesome news about your cold skin. You know why Doctors wont recommend the vibration plate? Probably because you may not need the doctor anymore. LOL LOL Thanks for sharing your story. :)
Which vibration machine do you have ?
I’m a floor lying jiggler - in the exact same way you demonstrate. Now on your recommendation I’m soon to be a floor lying meditating jiggler. 😊I have the Lifepro Mini Waver because I can use it at home and bring it with me on our travels in our van. Travel, using compression garments and having had several vein surgeries, can still reek havoc for me especially in my legs. I have Lymphedema and Lipedema diagnosed by Dr Herbst 4 years ago. She prescribed the Flexitouch pump, which I use every single morning. I thought it was fantastic and relieved so very many of my leg and arm symptoms but once I started augmenting with the LifePro Mini Waver my leg symptoms have reduced to almost nothing. I honestly look forward to my jiggling sessions every day as it feels heavenly. (Weird way to put it, but that’s how much it has helped.). Being in the healthcare field, for as long as I have, I was cautiously optimistic but at the same time pessimistic about the vibration plate benefitting the lymph system. My only regret is it took me so long before I purchased mine. Thanks so much for your continuing education about this monster of a disease.
I feel like it’s so much more effective when I lay on the floor and do it! The pain I was experiencing just melted away.
I am soooooo glad, thankful, blessed and excited to have found your channel. When I was diagnosed with both Lipedema AND Lymphedema, I thought that my life was over but now finding the excellent information you are offering, I finally have hope. I am also looking to GOD for a miracle. HE is the great Physician and Healer. I am going to do my part as well and that's where you come in. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart! ♥
Thank you for watching @bhumble3106! The beginning is the hardest part. Take it one day at a time, do what you can, and gradually you'll figure out what works for you ♥
We Love You,
Walk With Jesus.
I agree, only Jesus heals- he can heal or allow the technology to heal, he’s behind anything good in your life✝️🕎
Amen!

I have not been diagnosed but I know that I have it. Started after COVID. Just in my legs. They feel heavy and swollen. I am in the health field so I knew about compression hoses and such. Did get an infrared sauna bag which really helps. However, this is the first about the vibration. I’m totally into it. Thank you so much
@frstygrl3518 did you end up trying vibration? How did it go?! Curious about the sauna bag and how your swelling responds to it. Sometimes they discourage saunas for us because the heat can increase swelling. It probably feels heavenly though!
Can you share link to sauna bag please
I think my situation had started before Covid, however I’ve always thought it silently at first changed my physiology - lipedema much worse. Carnivore is the way to go 🥩
I just want to give you a shout out like all the other people and tell you how wonderful your channel is. I have ordered a vibrating plate even though I have an $8000 compression garment set up at home. I also love the infrared light I had no idea that can help Tim so I’ve ordered that as well. Also, I can’t believe they make leggings that are like compression garments I would’ve never found that company if it wasn’t for you. You are simply a blessing. Thank you so much for putting the time and work into this we all appreciate you.❤
Thank you, @pookieboo6086! I'm so glad it's been helpful ❤❤❤
Hi! Just wanted to find out which company that is exactly ;-) been looking for these kinds of compression garments since getting Long Covid. thanks!
I found out I have this condition when I hit menopause and took a break during the winter in a log cabin passing the days learning to watercolor…omg I blew up! I couldn’t reach the floor! Up until then I just thought I had a super ugly body. Your information is terrific, thank you!
This video just popped up on my YT homepage. I was diagnosed with Lymphedema back in 2018 after having had both of my knees replaced. I bought a rebounder as well as a vibration plate, mine is an AXV Vibration Exercise Machine. It has not bothered my knees at all, thank goodness. I have also lost 100 lbs and maintained that loss with the Ketogenic way of eating that I talk about on my YT channel. I have subbed to you and shared this with another.
@cindydemanche3839 congratulations on your success! I'll check out your channel to learn more about what you've been up to. Rebounding hasn't made it into my routine yet but it looks like so much fun
@@sturdywoman it is fun, just gotta take it slow at first for sure!
Look up the celluciser for a rebounder. Its made with titanium which is used by nasa.
Don't have swelling but have the vibration plate and wanted to know more about it. You are realty good at what you do.☺️
I also have the Lifepro 4D. I love it. I do 10 to 15 min at a time. I stand and exercises. I too lay on the floor with my feet on plate. Sometimes I sit and hold my small dogs to give them vibrations. Sometimes I do planks or push-ups. So many ways to use. Love it love it.
@terrystockton1113 I love that your pup gets involved too :D My cat comes running when she hears me turn mine on and she lays right next to me on the floor. I've always thought the vibrations must feel like purring or something to her - ha! It sounds like you have a solid (and fun!) routine in place
Can you post a link to it please
Hi! New sub here. I just want to say thank you for the massive amount of information and resources you have provided. I just ordered the plate you recommended and can't wait to shake, rattle, and roll! I believe I've been undiagnosed since about 13. Reading and hearing all these comments makes me feel less alone.
Welcome @amberkempkes916!
Thank you for this information. I feel like I’m flying blind sometimes with my lipedema. I so, so appreciate you !!! 👍👍🙏🙏
If you are "flying blind" then you are doing it like the rest of us, @karyn4795 🤣🤣 I learned so much of what I know from the experiences of other women. Please do come back and share with us anything that you learn! ❤❤❤
I second that ❤Thank you for your video. I have a vibration plate, and I use it for Lipedema. I stand by it, but I will try your suggestions. I don't use it consistently, but I will start. I have a small one under my desk for during the day. I appreciate you!
I just got mine last week from Amazon. Love it so much. You feel like you’re doing something that will get positive results. Yea.
That's wonderful to hear @ruthgarrett277! Thanks for sharing ❤❤
❤ I’m new here and new to information about vibration and plates. Still doing research. Thank you for your video…
I love to do workouts on my vibration plate. My favorite is a 20 min daily workout. The benefits are numerous. When i skip or get off track, i really pay for it.
@@MEF7 I do a modified workout based on the education of Becki Chambers. Her RUclips channel and books are awesome!
I just ordered a vibration plate over the weekend for fibromyalgia, lymphatic drainage and low back pain. The pain has become too much and I just discovered this device. I’m excited to see if it helps!
If you're not doing it already, I have found a lot of back pain is associated w tight muscles, especially in the legs.... a roller/rumble roller and Pso-rite give tremendous relief.
Block therapy, and the self healers protocol, are two more things yo look at. personally, I favor the Becky Chambers vibration products, that's what I chose from my husband. I have contraindications for using a vibration plate of any kind except to put one body part on at a time, for short periods. I advise everyone to double check for contraindications before purchasing any vibration plate. I had a negative experience after a chiropractor put me on one (it was part of his adjustment protocol). He should've checked for contraindications. I ended up back at the ophthalmologist.
Love my Lifepro Waver. Have had one a couple years, as my Lipedema advanced to having lymphedema also. Have never tried my calfs on it, will have to try it. Thank again for sharing!!
I am a new subscriber. I am so glad I found your channel. I was diagnosed with Lipedema last Friday. My doc recommended me a vibrating plate and a pump, and as a last resource a plastic surgeon (not just any doctor), and of course the compression leggings. I bought the plate that you recommend and I used it today for the first time. It felt great. I am stage I, and I am not overweight. My lipedema is mainly on my things and that is it. However, I have been an avid fitness enthusiast for several years; but no matter how much I exercised, I couldn't and still can't get rid of that awful mushy fat in my thighs. I suspected I had it because my mom and sister have it very badly. I bought the compression leggins that you recommend and how in the world do you put them on? It is extremely difficult for me to put them on. I am ready to give up on that, is there another option? I have always used tight leggings for my gym classes and I think that helped a lot, I can handle that. Also, did you try ablation procedures for the vein insufficiency. I also been diagnosed with that. I wonder, do I do that first before the liposuction? Have you done liposuction? I will make a consultation with the surgeon that my doctor recommended and see what is all about. As far as diet, I read that you followed the Keto diet and helped you a lot. Unfortunately, my doc didn't recommend it for me but said that a Mediterranean diet would be perfect, which I have been doing it all along. As long as I am careful with the carbs. I notice immediately if I overdo it on the carbs. Also, about the pump, I don't think I am yet there to use a pump. However, I bought me a device called The Curve which is a manual vibration/led machine; so I am going to start using it. Uff! so much to do with this awful disorder or syndrome or disease, which is it? Sorry, I went overboard, but I would appreciate your insights. God bless!
Hi @mbartra! Sorry for my slow reply. I was on a self-care break of my own. How are you doing now that you've settled into the diagnosis a bit? I'm so glad the vibration plate feels good - it's one of my favorite things. The leggings are always the worst when they are new, but loosen up after a few wears. I've never tried this hack, but I know a lot of women find them easier to put on with rubber gloves. Think the kind you might use to wash dishes or clean the bathroom. If they are truly uncomfortable, see how you do sizing up. For my veins, yep, I've had a few rounds of ablations and sclerotherapy first in 2020 and again in late 2023. (Look for my videos about that.) It helped a lot with my swelling. I have not have liposuction but it's a very personal decision. I'd be guided by your doctor's advice on whether to do the veins first, but most of what I've read suggests it's best to do that first. Check out some of the Facebook groups is you want advice on surgery or specific doctors. Good luck and let us know how you are doing! Big hugs ❤❤
I agree with all said by both of you!
Rebecca, you need to understand how positive your messages are here, and how much you've helped many. Speaking for myself, lipedema is extremely overwhelming, and lonely. It's hard to find support, understanding, and treatment.
I am going to try the vibration. You are a great resource, and a treasure!
Thank you for all the information. I had been thinking of buying a vibration plate and am now convinced it will be beneficial. I look forward to your videos and reading all the other ladies comments it makes me feel like I am not on my own
I'm so glad it was helpful @jackiehood170! I know they are a little pricey, but you can find good deals if you are patient and watch for a sale. Come back and let us know how it goes if you get one! 💕 and PS you are SO not alone! Giant hugs 🤗
Thank you. I was just wondering if you have any tips to easily put on the compression leggings i purchased that you recommend in an earlier video. I have watched a few ways on
RUclips but I am still struggling. There is no substitute for experience and thought maybe you could pass on any tips
I added the leg elevation pillow on top of my vibration plate to get more elevation, but I also lay on the ground like you. Love it ❤
@kathleencrosby3986 LOVE IT! Such a great idea. And the pillow stays there without bouncing off? Lipedema innovation :D
@sturdywoman yes, it stays. It's the same elevation pillow that you posted that you use on your bed. It's all you inspired :)
I recently just acquired this. I have just started with 15 minutes a night.
@littlenewthings2662 I hope it's going well! 15 minutes a night should be perfect ♥
I have had my LifePro Rumblex 4D vibration plate since 2018 and got it when the company was in its early startup phase. I went directly to LifePro and it is by far the best piece of equipment to help manage this disease. I have both Lipoedema and for years knew something was wrong-it was a knee surgery that caused my right knee and thigh to swell - the surgery should have been a simple one, but because doctors didn’t know or care to understand how lymph nodes could be damaged, I became a victim of their lack of knowledge and paying the price.
@commoncore49 it's great to hear that the vibration plate was such a help - and that it is going strong all these years later! I too have really appreciated LifePro as a company. Sending big hugs
Very good information ❤
I love to prop my calves across the plate, feels amazing
I have a LifePro Waver
Yes! Two makes a club @tammybarker2439! We're innovators 😆❤❤
Hey, Rebekah!😊🤟🖖✌️
Q: What exactly do you mean by "too much of a good thing" when referring to vibration therapy?
What can happen?🤷
I recently became aware of even the term lipodema. This answers so, so, so many questions for my life struggles. I'm beginning this new journey & tough protocol now. ✝️☝️🙏🙌👏🙌🕊
Your channel has added a lot of much needed information to my toolbox, so THANK YOU!! You are a blessing and inspiration!
I use a Chi Machine every day and it has help quite a bit with my fluid release/fat deposits. It was originally invented for Lymphedema. I have not been diagnosed yet for lipedema.
@bettesmith1117 thank you for sharing! I had never heard of a chi machine, so now you've given me something new to research 🤓 It's helping and you are feeling good! ❤
planet fitness has a Total body Enhancement pod which is a vibration plate and it has red lite, $25. a month memberships also massage bed
That's a great tip, @bickibrown5489! I haven't been to a Planet Fitness in years and had no idea they now offered vibration plate and red light. I'd be curious whether that's all locations or if you just hit the jackpot 🤔 In any case it's wonderful to hear those are becoming more common ❤❤
My local PF has this too and I’m thinking of joining just to be able to use these.
The water massage bed is heavenly.
Yes, my PF has them too.
My location does not have these. 😢
Hello Rebekah, I hope your well 😊 😘 thank you for sharing this upload regarding Vibration Plate, I will definitely buy one thanks to your video.. I can imagine myself dancing 🎶 on the plate😂. Thank you again and again for the information ℹ you share with us. I have learnt so much from you in the last six months 😊 bless 🙏 😇 you.. Have a fabulous week ahead x
Hi @kamwatson6128! I love the thought of you dancing on the plate 💃 It really comes in handy on those crummy weather days it's hard to get outside - I think you get those every so often over there?! 🤣 Good luck finding a plate that works well for you! Do let us know how it goes ❤❤ PS - don't forget to drink your 🌊
Extremely informative and to the point. Thank you!
I also find swimming, hot tub and infared sauna really help the fluid balance❤ I've read that hot tubs are bad, I think everyone is different...
I love mine! Love the energy I have after each use. Thank you for posting!!
It is important to know that using a vibration plate for osteoporosis should be done at 25 to 30 hz (not all vibration plates have this) and 10 min per day (emphasis on daily). I wonder what frequency is necessary for optimizing lipedema treatment?
Hi, what mode/direction is recommended?
Oscillation
TY
@@Mysteriousprogamer- i'm not sure why oscillation is recommended when it's the vertical impact that makes bones stronger. I would look for a vertical motion product with low amplitude, myself, along with low hertz rate. Definitely something to do homework on before proceeding.
I'm hearing great things about Osteostrong as well. I'm not sure of all the technology that they use, but the initial things I've listened to sound very positive.
After I had covid, this started. I rebounded before, but bought a vibration plate on Amazon ( life pro hovert 3D) I jump on in the am and before bed. It really helps the leg pain!❤ Thank you for making these posts!
I told my doctor last week I think I have lipedmia 😢,, she offered no advise no diagnosis I'm in Ireland and I don't know what to do ,, the pain and swelling has increased so much in the last month , can anyone help and tell me what to do next ?😢
Same experience here in Australia 3 different doctors not interested or offering any advice other than to lose weight. Some days I can hardly walk because of the swelling.
Second opinion….
I'm thinking of going to the plastic surgeon who specializes in water assisted liposuction for lipedema to see if they can diagnose me and get me approved through insurance to have the procedures done.
Watch her shows and do it yourself. Forget your physician. Go keto diet, check if you have Histamine intolerance as well...means no fermented foods, no gluten, no dairy. Buy a vibration plate...even a used one. ❤
I bought one a couple of weeks ago. It is an Eilison. I use it by standing on it, laying down with my calves resting on it then switching back and forth to my legs bent with feet flat on it, sitting on it, and/or planking on it with my hands on it or my forearms. I think I am losing some fat. My belly looks like it is slowly reducing.
I tried what you showed at the end - oh my goodness- that is amazing as I have been having leg and foot problems- I am subscribing 😃
@Dakota77d yay! I'm so glad it is bringing relief. Thanks for being here. Sending big hugs
Thank you. Super helpful. I have a vibration plate but don't use it as often as I could!
Why 😊
Me too
Great informative Rebekah! Love your pink! Thanks for all of the information you give us!
Thank you @joanaukali4498 🥰😘
Just the info we needed... We have lifepro rumble x 4D.
I would say, however, use compression while exercising. Keep the lymph vessels externally supported.
Great video. Thanks. Just tried lying down with my legs on the plate and it feels lovely thanks. 😊
Welcome to the floor club @poniesinthemist 😆 I hope you are still feeling good! 💕
I love your compression tights . Can you share where to get them
Hi @christinepastrama1275! They are CZ Salus. To get the colors you can shop their website: www.cizeta.it/en/ But I recommend finding the right size first through Amazon: amzn.to/42VsXlE You can return to Amazon more easily than the Italian store and even do free try-before-you-buy if you are a Prime member. Enjoy!
I am so excited for mine. I just bought one and mine comes with a handle bar that I tried and it helped immensely. Sitting helps but, I noticed the standing was great!
@katemurray4450 that's wonderful! I bet standing lets you get more of the "jiggle" effect going :D I'm so glad it is providing relief. Keep it up!
I think you are the best for lipedema information.
@helenguilford3136 thank you for being here! I'm glad to know it is helpful
I bought mine a week ago and I’m glad you have a video how to use and make this useful/helpful for us. 😅
Thank you so much for the info and demo!! Your videos are inspiring, giving hope where I had none.
My Lifepro Waver plate is arriving tomorrow. I had surgery 2 mos ago for patella fracture so I’m going to go easy and probably sit for now. I’m 68 and don’t want to fall again. My knee is completely healed and my brace is off. I can’t wait to try it!
@janismcgovern5067 let us know how it goes! Remember, 15 minutes once or twice a day is plenty and to move lymph you just need the low settings. I use the pre-programmed 0-2 settings and it works great.
I got my Waver Vibration plate today!
I love it!
i bought my first unbranded plate 9 years a would lay on floor like you and also fall asleep. then 6 years i went and invested in a Hypervibe G10 fantastic machine then sold it ! 3 years on. but within year replaced i missed it to much for another G10 MINI from Hypervibe ,its used most days but only do ten minute max i learnt i get sore bones with more use. another fantastic investment i have made this year is a Bellicon mini trampoline the two are fabulous together but the Bellicon i have seen lots of added benefits .
@mandybeddoes9112 I'm glad to hear you have such a good routine in place! Bravo for investing in your self care. I've never used a Bellicon but I hear they are great! I've always thought rebounded looked fun but I'm not sure my downstairs neighbors would agree - ha!
@@sturdywoman the bellicon you can health bounce in silence no noise at all its a smooth relaxing movement .
I bought myself this waver for Christmas. It’s now May and I still haven’t plugged it in. Listening to you makes me think I need to give it a shot. Tyvm! 🤗
@blindkimberly1360 it will only take 15 minutes! You got this! Chances are it will feel so good the first time that you'll be back gladly the next day
I’ve had my life pro for about 3 months now. I do 15 min every morning on level 30. I purchased mine to see if it would help with my neuropathy I developed from chemotherapy. So far it didn’t help. With that being said…I love my life pro and do my quick little arm weight workouts while I stand. Have tried any other positions yet but it’s on my radar…have fun people. It’s is fun right?
Omg, my favorite use is lying down too!
Thank You and God Continual Blessings Upon You for SHARING.
Thank you @educatnow! Glad to hear it's helpful for your journey ❤
I am SOOOO happy that I'm not the only one who ops to lay down when using my vibration machine! I actually rig mine by placing a wooden board i have and bridge it between two parsons chairs and i sit the machine on the board. This is set up at the foot of my bed and now the machine is at the height of the bed. I lay on the bed with my legs lying on the machine and it feels awesome!! The issue is i also want to alternate between this arrangement and also set it on the floor to stand on it. So i constantly have to lift it on and off the floor & its very heavy. I've been doing this insanity for 5yrs now and luckily never dropped it. I dont recommend anyone else doing as i do... that said i intend buy an upgraded one and then keep my current one always platformed at the foot of my bed. 😅
@sabrinamcewen4328 you have no idea how many times I've considered rigging up something similar - ha! Thank you for the real life inspiration. And +1 to it being heavy. Talk about upper body workout :D
@@sturdywoman I appreciate your videos so much. I have fibromyalgia, diabetes and neuropathy but this last time i regained 80lbs back that i lost in in 2022 & i believe I may have what you are describing. I can't tolerate my cat walking on me, my fat feels differently on my body this time around and I've had a hard time trying to convey what I'm experiencing and your videos helped me tremendously
Ooo.. My first thought was on the floor like that... my EDS causes my left calk to lock up and give intense ankle pain..that looks so soothing.
Thank you. I wish I would have found your video before I bought mine, it doesn't have oscillating capabilities. Hopefully it's still helpful.
Is anyone familiar with the ZAAZ 20-K ocssilator?
I use the plate laying on the floor just like you! Love it!
@kathleencrosby3986 floor club! Turns out there are a lot of us. Did I mention my cat loves it too? She snuggles right under my arm. I guess she thinks I'm purring? :D
Hello from Madrid, @sturdywoman I would like to know if vibration can reduce pain of if you can make a video with some of your tips, thank you for your chanel
Thanks for the info, just ordered one on amazon and should get in a couple days.
@gathercreatelivewithleslie8340 have fun with it and let us know how it goes! I find mine very relaxing.
Can this be used with neurophy? I have it in my feet and calves
I'm in the UK - we have a TV channel that sells vibration m/c's. They kneel in front of them and lean over and place their arms on the plate - this will work upper body. And they actually sit on the m/c - do you have thoughts about either of these/?
I did used to do the arm one but felt like it was jigging my brain around and didn't like the sensation.
Interesting. Did the vibrations increase vein diseases?Thank you
@mayabakir3882 there are a couple of links to research on vibration in the video description. In my personal experience, it only seemed to improve my circulation. Getting the swelling out of my legs and supporting my veins has actually reduced the load on my veins. But talk to your doctor! ♥♥
Is this beneficial for upper body lymphedema as well or more for lower body?
Great question!
am afraid to use it as some research warns about retinal problems. had had 3 retinal surgeries.
Use it seated on a couch or lay flat on your back with your calves on it and this shouldn’t be an issue.
What compression is your leggings?
Yea , I also have my vibration plate and i love it! I dont see any changes but feels AMAZING!!! I do also lay on floor also with my calfs across it and also sit on side of my bed with feet on it. Then sometimes just stand lol
Hi @tcooper802! In the video I'm wearing my favorite CZ Salus amzn.to/44iA3AA - but remember you don't need to wear compression while using the vibration plate... just every other time 😆 You're a Sturdy Woman after my own heart - there's no wrong way to use it 🤣 "Don't mind me! Just lying on the floor over here taking care of my health!" ♥♥
I bought a wbv board off Amazon n it’s great, it has 5 different oscillation patterns and it’s on the bigger side, it came with the attachable bands with handles to do resistance movements on it too. I like to lay on the floor also.. I’m Addis red to the tingle feeling in my body when it turns off. I also sit on one side of the board with my legs on the floor and let it bounce me around to help improve my digestion and loosen tight back muscles. Or I’ve placed my hands on each side of the board while on my knees and let my head hang down to loosen neck and shoulders. That movement shakes my skull and I love it, it helps me sleep. Some people don’t like the feeling of their cranium vibrating tho. Hmm what else,.. I can’t eat before I get on the board or I will be nauseated…
Thank you so much for this information!! Really helpful!!
I just used my vibration plate for the first time, it felt like I had walked my dogs 3 times around my 3 acre property, I usually walk them one time around .
Hi @christinaday813! Is that a good or bad thing? Remember that to stimulate lymph you only need to use it on a low level and for about 15 minutes. I hope it is helping! ♥♥
I dont understand how this helps us though. Is this to strictly to get the lymph draining? Thank you for your help. I'm just starting this journey.
@Paws4It that's it exactly. It is going to improve circulation and stimulate lymph drainage. Stagnant fluid encourages inflammation and causes swelling, which in turn can contribute to pain, fatigue, and all our other symptoms. A sluggish lymphatic system is a big part of our problem
@@sturdywoman thank you
Just used my LifePro Hovert for the first time. I just did ten minutes on the lowest setting, then put my legs in the air/against the wall to aid drainage. I can't wait until tomorrow to go again, it was fun! I wondered though if I go to the higher settings do I still get the lymph drainage benefit, or does it only work at the lower settings and then at the higher speeds it's a different benefits. My user guide really doesn't make it clear...
I love the way yours arms shake on the vibrating plate ,long vibration plate videos pleaaase 🎉❤❤❤
@fkj035 right?! ha! Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see if I can do some more (longer) vibration stuff for you in 2025. In the meantime, have you ever checked out Debbie Pelleter's channel? www.youtube.com/@debbypelletier
Thank you Excellent overview 😊
@lindagentry4717 I'm glad it was helpful! Let us know if it goes if you get one
Is there a way to know how to learn the manual lymph draining? I had a vibration plate.
Hi @dawnrobinsonwalker2523! This might be helpful ruclips.net/video/nkLb8xgDoiM/видео.html ♥
I love my vibration plate but the itch is so bad my legs react with tiny welps, like an allergic reaction that I have to animal fur. Very uncomfortable. I did a Google search and there is actually a condition that causes it but I don't remember the name of it. The recommendation was to take Benadryl before you get on the plate. I didn't like that idea so I thought maybe compression yoga pants might help keep the itch and welps at bay. What do you think?
Thank you for your wisdom and sharing your exercises. I just bought my Lifepro to help prevent osteoporosis. Questions for you… how often do you use it? How long do you use it each time? Does using it at night at first wake up the body or relaxes it? Blessings!
Hi @DebbieLynToomey! Great questions. Using a vibration plate is definitely one of those "less is more" situations. You can overdo it! I typically use mine once a day for 15 minutes at night before I use my pneumatic pump. There is some evidence to suggest it might make the pump (or MLD or dry brushing) more effective, likely before it gets everything flowing. I also went through a period where I added a second 15-minute session first thing in the morning before putting on my compression. I hope this helps! ❤
Is there a budget friendly version? I had breast cancer and ever since my lymphatic system is a mess.
@rav2254 the mini waver might be a good option. Check out the Cyber Monday sale going on right now: amzn.to/4eTwVzM
Have you tried tge Revivitive rocker?
@jackiemorrison2661 no I haven't! Is it a vibration plate? If you have one, do you like it?
@@sturdywoman yes and it helps too
I have a compression boot but i stopped using it because its hard to get on because I have trouble reaching my feet. It has an auto shutoff after 15 minutes. Then if I need to get up like to answer the phone, I would have to take it off first and that's not easy. It didnt do enough to make it worth the trouble.
I love my vibration plate as well! I’m curious about cupping. I used to do it more often but recently it started to hurt a lot using it. I wonder if there is any information out there about using it and whether there are any benefits
@angeliquecummings7690 I've never done cupping. That's an interesting question, though! I'll see if I can find anything. Generally, though, I'd say that if something is painful it's probably time to listen to your body and take a break. ♥
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I AM NOT DIAGNOSED, BUT KNOW I HAVE IT, SO I HAVE TO TALK WITH MY DR. AND GET A VIBRATION PLATE. MY GIRLFRIEND HAS A ZAZZ AND LOVES IT AND USES IT EVERY DAY. I WONDER IF THE ZAZZ WOULD WORK LIKE A PLATE.
Is there a benefit to using the vibration plate without a massage or pnumatic compression suit after?
@pardalote yes, definitely! The vibration plate alone increases circulation and stimulates lymph flow. Pairing it with something else just boosts the effectiveness of the other thing. I hope that makes sense?
@sturdywoman yes, you explained it very clearly. Thanks.
Man I wish I could use it on floor. No way I'd be able to get back up. .. goals
Look up ways to get up off the floor
Thanks for this video
@mcouragee thank YOU for watching
I just bought a foot massager with compression. Are there any benefits to that similar to the vibration plate?
@kelleymoore6080 I would think so! To get the most benefit you might want to do some dry brushing before you start to open the lymph nodes in your knees, groin, etc. This will help everything more easily get up and out of your legs. I think the benefit with vibration plates is the WHOLE BODY part of it. It literally gets everything going :D
@@sturdywoman Thank you...
I have Lymphedema in one leg. Which vibration machine would be the most beneficial for me? Hotwave Vibration plate or LifePro Waver Vibration plate.?
@DebraKlein-iv3eb I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner! This important thing to look for is that it oscillates, meaning it doesn't just shake it also tilts side to side a little bit. This up and down motion is really helpful for moving the lymph. I know the Life Pro Waver oscillates but I can't tell if the Hotwave does too. What I CAN say, is that Life Pro is just an awesome company. Their vibration plates have a lifetime guarantee meaning that if anything happens to it EVER they will replace it. Which one did you end up getting? I'm guessing you bought one by now
Has anyone tried the Keto/ fat burning lifestyle to address this? Just wondering, if the body would pull the fat to use as energy and help.
@susandarnell4837 a lot of people have success with keto! Including me :D Check out my Keto for Lipedema playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLGrmXtIzhSGLhEfRUCj_A45MG3A_rGIxO
Can you make a long vibrating plate long video please 🙏🏽 🎉❤❤
This comment isn't about vibration plates, but I hope if I post it on your most recent upload you might still read it. I am so done with this lymphedema/lipedema/venous insufficiency! Unfortunately it's not done with me. I feel like my whole day every day is spent trying to deal with this nonsense. Massage, pump (that insurance is taking forever to approve), so I bought one on Amazon and it's hard to handle to get it all on; got a massage gun; doing reduction with bandages if I go to the therapist, reduction with, elastic garments by Circ-Aid myself at home; exercise; massage again; back into reduction; and elevating my legs at night. I can't even fit into any of the compression hose or garments. I am so discouraged and tired. Will it get easier?
Hi @bonniebarlow4939! You're right that it's easier for me to keep up with comments on newer videos - thanks for noticing that. I'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. It sounds like you are doing so many things right! I'm going to tell you what I've been telling myself lately, though. Stress is also bad and stressing about our condition and doing the right/wrong thing is counterproductive. Some days will be better than others and that's normal. Is there anything that brings you joy that you can do while you are doing some of the other things? I like to watch silly TV shoes, listen to podcasts, sit with my cat, etc. (She loves the vibration plate!) I hear you, though. I've definitely had days where it felt unfair, like "too much" and just plain discouraging. On those days I give myself permission to skip some things (like pumping) if I really don't want to do them and would like to just go to bed an hour earlier. On the compression, did you know that CZSalus does custom sizes? It runs about $100 US depending on the exchange rate (you have to buy in Euros). Check it out if you haven't found that yet: www.cizeta.it/en/Customized-sizes If you are getting MLD from a therapist you might have them help you do the measurements. Sending big hugs ❤❤
@@sturdywoman Thanks so much for replying. You have been a big help. I do have some distractions and employ them when I can.
Do you think FDA approved Kabella injection be an option for fat dissolution ?
@simplecookingwithrabbiah1385 I focus on conservative treatments but I'm sure you will get some answers in the lipedema Facebook groups. Patients frequently share experiences with things like that there. Good luck!
Can you wear compression leg sleeves when using the waver. I have to sit on the couch when using the waver. What program do you recommend for beginner and how long? 0:51
Are vibration plates covered by insurance
I have been diagnosed with Lymphedema, and i also have fibromyalgia,I have a vibration plate. My thighs that seem to accumulating the swelling. Im worried about them becoming massive. What time length a day do you suggest start with first.
Is there any medical reason to not use a vibration plate? My dr knows nothing about it and I’m basically figuring this out myself.
yes. There's A list of situations that are completely contraindicated and there is a list where caution and medical supervision is advised For temporary contraindications and situation's were a very gradual approach is needed. Like beginning with just one body part, or a very gradual progression. Becky Chambers has that information on her website. she's been doing this for a long time, and has her own ideas about the proper movement of these machines. More and different isn't always better, in fact it can be disrupting to the body in a bad way. According to her. I would point people to her if they are fragile in any way, or getting older and wanting to use it for as long as possible, or wanting to use it for a family that has members of different levels of fragility. I recommend her gentle 500 for the elderly for sure, or a larger platform version with the ability to be that gentle, plus a stabilizer bar. The nice thing about the gentle 500 is that it doesn't take up nearly as much floor space. I got one for my husband, (I have contraindications for standing on it and getting the full benefit of the vibrations). So far so good. We are able to locate it in a logical place between bathroom and bedroom so it's easy to use as part of the daily routine. Whatever you get, I think it's important to make sure that it gets used regularly. And sometimes that's all about the real estate mantra that says "location, location, location."
Do you know of any specialists in south Arkansas?
@dollykafloppers4515 The Lipedema Foundation has a Provider Directory here: www.lipedema.org/provider-directory and there is a patient-reported list maintained by the Lipedema Project here: lipedemaproject.org/lipedema-lipoedema-lipodem-provider-directory/ If neither of those are helpful, I recommend joining one of the regional Facebook groups for lipedema and asking there. But remember, you really only need a formal diagnosis if you want a pneumatic pump or liposuction. Good luck!!
Trampoline is very useful.
@HajLhaj-j6m and it looks like a lot of fun!
Please fix audio, can't hear you! Very interested in the topic bc I have such sensitive.
@jhancock1838 sorry you are having trouble! There is a written version on the blog and also a transcript available above in the video description. sturdywoman.com/2023/07/10/vibration-plates-for-lipedema-and-lymphedema/ Thanks for watching ❤
Vibration plate for lymphedema and taking eliquis. Is that ok.?
How would I get in touch with you about a potential business opportunity with vibration therapy?
Hi @danielolsen1916 you can email me at rebekah@sturdywoman.com ☺
What machine would you recommend from amazon?
@lifepath6187 this is the one I use: amzn.to/3Xt44NJ
SO those old machines that women used in the 50s 60s.... they weren't totally wrong.
😂👌🏽
True true. Jack LaLane used them on his show.
My mom used the exercise belt that shook her booty like a bowl full of jelly 😂
We have my mother in laws in the basement. So funny!
Thank you for this information. I’m struggling with lymphedema after double mastectomy in 2021 and dealing with my husbands dementia now and non mobility issues/depression . I do not have much for insurance now and just looking for help in exercises and keep my body in motion. The pain my body feels in lower back and legs… haven’t been able to figure out if it’s the 100 lbs I gained in the last 3 years or if there is something else wrong. Lipedema would make sense. I will start catching up on the videos and learning what I can do to feel better .
I live in an upstairs unit. Will this be a nuisance to the neighbors? I don’t want to get kicked out.😮
@lfuentes4098 I live in an upstairs apartment too. It's very quiet, nearly silent! I have a creaky wood floor so I use it on a rug just to be safe but have never had a complaint. I've had it for more than three years across multiple neighbors and have never had any comments! My washing machine however... :D I hope this is reassuring
@@sturdywoman yes, it is thank you.
