Enjoyed the recent articles and videos.  Keep up the great work.

In regards to my last answer, I am speaking from experience as I ran a studio that had both pivotal and lineal and found that pivotal was more uncomfortable for lower back injuries than lineal.

Also if you want to build your bone density back up then you need a machine that is going to produce enough pressure for that to happen.

Hope that helps

I live in Arizona and I believe the TZone comes from Canada.  You can check the specs here  http://guardiantrader.com/Whole_Body_Vibration.html

Deanna – a few questions

1.       Where abouts are you? (some companies charge $2000 for machines you can get for $300 elsewhere)

2.       When you look at a specific seller – to buy a machine - Can you please tell us the advertised specs of the machine - before you buy it!  This is so we can advise you if they are being honest and are a reputable dealer, or not.

The T-Zone is a Low Speed Pivotal  – see here:  http://www.vibration-training-advice.com/machine-reviews

It is a therapy unit and as you’ve already seen some benefits from using it having one at home seems a good idea.

I removed your blatant advertising. While we promote healthy eating and taking supplements that provide benefit for various conditions we do not allow spam and self promotion.

Do you have any information or opinion on the VT 15 machine by TZone.  I have used one a few times at my massage therapists  and feel good after the treatment.  My problems are Fibromyalgia, degenerative disease in lower spine and some areas of arthritis.  With the cost of the treatment plus a round trip of about 30 miles each time, it wouldnt take long to pay for having one at home.  Am seriously considering buying one and the TZone sounds good.

Yesterday, I presented a lecture for members of our sport medicine society. That was first such lecture about vibration training and therapy in Croatia. Hopefully it wasn't a last one.
My main argument was that this technology allow us to combine a protection of isometric contraction (static exercise), and muscle activation equivalent to isotonic contraction (dynamic movement) all in one, with vibration stimuli of hi energy vibration machine. This argument presents a strong indication for use of vibration exercises in treatment of degenerative diseases of knee, and hip, ass well as in overuse injuries, such are jumper's knee, chronic groin syndrome, achilodynia, etc.
The reactions of MD's and PT's were really good. As one doctor said "I didn't know it is so simple. Before this, I presumed this is just another anticelulite treatment for which I don't have any use in my daily practice." Other MD added: "There is so much contradictory information available about this technology, which makes understanding and using vibration stimuli in medicine real challenge, because great uncertainty about body reaction to any stimuli makes one reluctant to advise use of such treatment in particular patient. Seeing simple protocols such as this with strict practical rules, makes clinical decision much easier."

Now, we have seen a lot of arguments for and against safety program here, and on another forums, and I think that arguing will go on. But I have to say that in everyday physiotherapy practice safety program presents simple and workable set of rules that is easily explainable to a patient, as well as to a MD. Furthermore, predictability of physiological effects of such program makes it more acceptable for indications in orthopedic medicine.

Also, I proposed a protocol for reducing a risk of injuries in strength training for professional athletes with vibration. More about this in my next posts.

First time post,   I have 2 children with severe processing issues that include balance and coordination issues. I believe that vibration therapy will help my children and my wife and I.  Any recommendations as to what machine I should purchase for my home.    From my understanding Lineal is better than Pivotal due to the nature of mans movement relative to gravity which I conceptually see.  Looking for some help, from what I gather DKN is a good product.

Thank ypu,

I received a vibropro 5500 today.While I am satisfied with the machine the following incorrect information is displayed on their website 0 to 56 hz actually it is 12 to 56 hz, 28 speeds actually 22 at 2hz intervals,biomass indicator there is none, 5 programs plus manual actually there are 4 plus manual

Just an fyi

Hi there, I wondered if you could help at all........somebody who has been coming to our studio for 4 weeks now has said that she has now got stone bruise on her heel, she says that its been through coming to our studio. I do know that she is a hairdresser and on her feet all day. I was wondering if anybody knew of any way that she could have got stone bruise on her heel through using the machines.....

Thanks in advance for your advice

Hi.

I have been reading a bit in the Internet about this solution and different machines.

Question ... Are you familiar with any gym or any company at all that works with these machines in Israel

i only managed to find the following web site www.crasyDASHf.co.il

which stands for crazy fit massage

sorry but i am not able to write any signs in this comment  not a dash sign nor question marks etc...

However, i read in your site that you mentions this in your black list.

Thanks and regards in advance...
