Anyone had experience with OsteoStrong, who is not a franchisee?

I just bought an AXV vibration exercise machine. I use a vibration platform at Osteostrong each week. I asked if they thought getting one at home would be beneficial. They agreed it would be helpful. My husband has Parkinson’s and I heard it is good for that too.
Does anyone out there use one each day? I’m on it for 15 minutes per day.
I agree that there is little information out there except for those who sell the machines!

The Marodyne is $3K and a recent study that just concluded in Australia -VIBMOR - found it was not effective for bone. It has been heavily and slickly marketed touting a connection to NASA which is misleading. Lots of info on this online and on this site, esp since Jan 2024. There is a video of the doctor discussing the disappointing results of the study somewhere here. Read up on what works and is safe on VibrantHealth.com. She has a list of safe effective machines that are less than $500. There is also one guy on Amazon . He sells the VT series. Read his stuff on Amazon. Both these machines
, vertical motion, are like Marodyne at the lower amplitude but have a high amp option. Frequency range is broad. You have the ability to increase to the setting that does build bone.

@patjack2 The $140 vibration plate you purchased looks unsafe for osteoporosis. (Probably for Parkinson's too.) Based on the product's videos and reviews, it looks like it's a rocker plate that vibrates roughly, like a paint shaker. Please do be careful if you continue to use this machine -- sometimes you get what you pay for.
So sorry your OsteoStrong team didn't provide you any guidance about what to get for home, but they probably didn't know either. There is a lot of good info in this forum on whole-body vibration and plates (e.g., Marodyne) that you can obtain using a search. If you have any questions, I know folks here will try to help you and/or point you in a evidence-based direction.
