I find it difficult to believe that some kind of vibrating plate helps build muscle and bone.

@heisenberg34 , I also find it difficult to believe this would help.

@petitefitsmartfemale - suggest you look up Margaret Martin Osteopororis PT for more information on vibration plates- she has more on her website. You can also check her videos on youtube regarding this & other OP topics. I am using one but I won't know if is is helping until my next dexa. Also I am trying the natural route for now. I am not able to paste the link.

@patwerthman I would think long and hard before investing in this thin. Please do an online search to check on its veracity.

not sure if they help with osteoporosis, but I believe they do help with balance so you may fall less.

@heisenberg34 I have given this thought and certainly not enough research to answer whether it’s worth it or not. I will think more about this when winter approaches and we have snow again.
