Has anyone used the Marodyne device to stimulate bone growth?

It seems the verdict is out on vibration therapy, yet I'm willing to add it to my routine. All things considered everything has risks. My opinion, Marodyne is unaffordable for many of us, but a safe choice. LIV vs a more intense machine is a choice depending on what you've read and decide what's for you. Since NASA has chosen ARED, (Advanced Resistive Exercise Device) I ordered the VT007 vibration machine bc of what I read on their site, and decided it's worth a try. 🤷♀️ The owner is hands on, the device is not fancy, very basic, affordable & the engineering seems sound. I need to improve in the hip area (-2.8) & hope to at least stabilize. My next DEXA/TBS will be in Jan24. I'll post my results, just hoping for just a little more help with it. Here's the site.

I recently came across the website for the VT007. You mention your next DEXA would have been January 24. Maybe not enough time to show a definitive change, but I would be very interested to know how it is going with your VT007. I’ve seriously considered Marodyne but there seems to be conflicting views. I don’t know what to think about Power Plate which is also very expensive. I was impressed by the VT007 owner’s hands on approach. It seems the machines are made in Minnesota (could that be right?) and have a good warranty. The lowest frequency is 30 hz. But the other number, amps?, the lowest one is a bit higher than the Marodyne but lower than Power Plate. The frequency and amps are adjustable as well so perhaps other members with stronger bones can use it too. The price is right and less of a loss if it doesn’t reap any benefits. If you are still active or anyone else here using the VT007 I would be very interested to know about your experience. Thank you🙏

@rola You motivated me to research the VT007 at the company's website and I read through all the reviews. About 20 were osteoporosis related. I decided to buy it so thank you for the reference. My fem. neck is -2.7 so I'll be practicing the L-Squat on it (check the page at vibrationtherapeutic < dot> com < slash> vibration-plate-therapy-benefits < dot> html (PS - The automated editor didn't permit me to write the link easily so I was forced to write it the way I did)
