WBV plates

Has anyone used Whole Body Vibration plates/machines for exercise or pain relief. I've been researching them with a view to buying one. Thankyou

In the past on here, many have said oscillating plates are more beneficial than vibrating ones. Hope this helps

Tried previously .... Couldn't even manage 30 seconds at the lowest setting, and set me into a major pain flare. But I have heard others saying they helped them

Hi flash12 I've used them for years and find them a really easy way to exercise muscles. You can adjust to suit your needs easily, I've added a link for you it's the newest version of the one I have. idealworld.tv/gb/pp/vibrapo...

Aw good I really don't think you'll regret it but 30 days gives you a good bit of time to try it! 😊

I have been using one for a couple of months now in the morning to help relieve the stiffness I also do some yoga stretches. This was recommended to help with myofascial release.

Hi flash12,

I used a vibration plate for exercise during the first lockdown. Bear in mind I'm 30 years old and quite muscular, considering I have fibromyalgia. I had just started squatting with low weight.

The whole experience degraded my sleep drastically and I had to stop it after a few days. The vibration would get to sensitive muscles around the neck and make them very tight.

At some point, it trapped a muscle on my upper back and would make me smile all of a sudden when I would make a specific move. It also woke me up in the middle of the night very suddenly during deep sleep.

After I stopped and got back to normal, I tried again a week later with the lowest setting. Still the same.

The results I was getting for the glutes though were amazing!

That could be specific to me but I felt you should know. If you can find one to try first or be able to return it, give it a try.

All the best

I tried one at a cryo therapy clinic and done just under 10 minutes as I could feel it starting to trigger lower back pain and ended up in a major fibro flare. I’m not sure it was the vibration plate that caused it as I was already getting some symptoms before but I don’t think I would use one again.
