@meri8181 Most of us are changing many things at one time in response to osteoporosis. There will never be a way to sort out which were the key elements of any progress (or slowing of declines) in BMD or bone strength.

After reading tons of research on WBV, and finding the doctor-office-recommended model that I mentioned in another post, WBV is one element that I have added to my overall OP response. It is a cheap and an easy fill-in for my non-gym days. I also believe that it would be a huge mistake to *only* do WBV for osteoporosis.

It takes lots of research to decide what to do for WBV. The type, amplitude, and frequency-of-vibration all matter. Here is just one example article from 2023:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9925023/
Excerpt: "It can be concluded that vibration therapy showed positive outcomes as a treatment modality to improve bone mass density and postural control in postmenopausal women and geriatric populations. However, the independence of the therapy should be explored more extensively to determine whether it is sufficient to be used alone or if it must be combined with medical treatment for the best results. ..."

For those who might comment that WBV is not cheap, I assure you that the cost is a factor for me. The model that I got goes for for $600, and is occasionally on sale. Other models of other brands cost $thousands and I do not know if I would have bought one at those costs.
