Hi happy2bhere, The therapist didn't know much about the vibration plate exercisers, but thought it a good idea for the movement. I went back and looked at the LIVMD. It is lightweight, but does not work on carpeting. It does not come with a remote, and there was no information about a warranty. I sent the company an email, but did not yet get a response. I went back to Amazon and purchased one that is lightweight, can work on carpeting, has a remote and a warranty. I will start out using it at the lowest level, then see how it goes after that. TSC
