Vibration Plate, Review After 6 Months: Is It Worth It?

Is it push-button exercise, or an expensive fad, or something else entirely? Robin, from “The Science of Self-Care”, has insights:

Science & Experience

According to the science (studies cited in the video and linked-to in the video description, underneath it on YouTube), vibration therapy does have some clear benefits, namely:

• Bone health (helps with bone density, particularly beneficial for postmenopausal women)
• Muscle recovery (reduces lactate levels, aiding faster recovery)
• Joint health (reduces pain and improves function in osteoarthritis patients)
• Muscle stimulation (helps older adults maintain muscle mass)
• Cognitive function (due to increased blood flow to the brain)

And from her personal experience, the benefits included:

• Improved recovery after exercise, reducing muscle soreness and stiffness
• Reduced back pain and improved posture (not surprising, given the need for stabilizing muscles when using one of these)
• Better circulation and (likely resulting from same) skin clarity

She did not, however, notice:

• Any reduction in cellulite
• Any change in body composition (fat loss or muscle gain)
