@caroljeand. You got me interested in the vibration therapy idea for inflammation. I looked it up and found this journal article on it. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11323691/. I had heard of it for muscle training and actually had an experience with it in Germany about 15 years ago. And, my wife actually used it as a therapy when recovering from knee surgery in Germany at that time. Not sure how it might enhance healing or help with PMR inflammation but worth investigation. I think that PMR inflammation is inflammation that has gone haywire or rogue. It is inflammation (systemic) that is not caused by some sort of trauma to the body. I have always looked at this kind of inflammation (PMR-type) as an overreaction of the CNS (central nervous system) and not as a response to some sort of trauma to our body. One might call that kind of inflammation a "healthy inflammatory response" while PMR inflammation is rogue and unwarranted.

@petermccarville thx for sharing great article.
Yes, hve used the WVB on assorted places in my body. In addition, my functional mobility trainer uses the TVT on me regularly for assorted “targeted” locations.
Great relief, but not sure how much was actual healing,

If you feel PMR is not tied to trauma I have to share my experience with you.
Last June I caught the back of my foot in the storm door and ripped open the back of my heel. It was a traumatic injury and I needed seven stitches. It was a difficult recovery with swelling and inflammation. During recovery I was feeling strangely weak and attributed it to my body’s energy going to the healing.
Also my flexibility was compromised and eventually couldn't get in and out of the car and had trouble getting up and down off the toilet. The injury was last week of June and was officially diagnosed with PMR last week of August (took 3 weeks for an appointment)! I already knew I had PMR before the diagnosis as my mother had it and knew the symptoms.
The genetic link is real.
I always wondered if I would get PMR as I saw how miserable she was and dreaded getting it. Thankfully we have new means of dealing with it today.
