If that's the same as a power plate, the answer is NO, not sure if that's for the rest of your life or a period of time, reason being if there were to be a minuscule bit of cancer in your body, the vibrations may stimulate it and it may start growing, I'm going to my gym on Friday, if I remember I'll ask then and let you know if it's for life or a certain number of years

I used one both before and after my treatment and 5 yrs down the line am fine. I don't believe the bs about it spreading cells.

hey, i'm not sure sure of the answer but could be worth giving macmillan or breast cancer care a call/ ask on one of their forums.xxx

Hi Footprints, just back from gym, I asked the instructor I'm working with on the Energise, cancer rehab exercise scheme who is level 4 qualified meaning he can help cancer patients, and he said he'd never let a cancer patient use a power plate, hope that helps x
