Whole Body Vibration for Osteoporosis

No, my doctor wanted to use drugs for treatment. I didn't like what I was reading about any of them. I started reading what I could find about bone health and in one book it brought up vibration therapy. I liked what I was reading and Nasa's involvement in it so I'm considering it. I would like to hear from anyone that has tried it. A home platform would be best but I 'm not sure there is one that meets the specs that is affordable. I don't see a clinical trial for it either.

HI @retired123, the Marodyne LIV is the low intensity vibration machine developed in conjunction with NASA. Two physical therapists who specialize in osteoporosis, Sara Meeks and Margaret Martin endorse it, with full disclosures. I've contacted the company twice and never received a reply. The last time I looked, it sells for about $4500.00. I'm going to stick with Dr. Loren Fishman's 12 Poses vs Osteoporosis (you can google) which has, in a study, improved bone density in participants who did the yoga. Wishing you the best.
