I hope folks will read Margaret Martin's post on contraindications for vibration machine therapy. https://melioguide.com/physical-therapy-continuing-education/whole-body-vibration-therapy-contraindications/ Margaret Martin also wrote the post just linked on vibration machines, but separately posted on contraindications.
For me it is completely out as an option: dangerous for spinal fractures, not good for afib, migraines, dizziness/inner ear. Everyone needs to make sure they do not have something on this list of contraindications, which is extensive.

From what I've read, it is tricky and the vibration cycle/intensity has to be set precisely. There are reported cases of (weekend warrior types?) going gung ho for intense vibratory experience and suffering detached retinas. I'm going to get one of the machines but be very conservative with it. One writer here posted about the recommended 30 hz setting for people with osteopenia and osteoporosis. Also a link to a site explaining that parameter.
Margaret Martin recommends the Marodyne LiV device for vibration therapy. It is nothing like the ones found in gyms etc. It only has one low frequency setting.

Agree. Everyone should thoroughly research. I’m finding it interesting for knowledge. The concept intrigues me. I feel the ppl that post here are researchers and seeking knowledge to educate themselves.
