I have osteopenia as well. Can’t risk trampoline and breaking more bones. So, I too am interested in this low intensity machine. Good luck

Hi @gabe4223 and @mariadeastis, Margaret Martin, a Physical Therapist specializing in osteoporosis, sent an email with this information about a week ago. In her email, the links worked. If they don't work here, just Google Margaret Martin, Whole Body Vibration Platforms. The Marodyne LIV was developed in conjunction with NASA.

" If you are interested in learning more about LiV as a modality, I recommend you read this article on vibration therapy for osteoporosis. It is a very thorough review of the technology.

"In this article, I review the Marodyne LiV device.

"This article covers contraindications of whole body vibration platforms.

"Finally, we are editing the recording and will be posting it on our YouTube channel in the next week or so. At that point we will announce the availability of the video in our regular email to our subscribers."
