Just found one at the goodwill outlet today for $3! Looked up the model #… $1,500?!
King Jesus blessed me like crazy! I didn’t even know about this until today!
Yes that was a blessing
Crazy faith
Wow! That's so awesome!! 😊
Nice!
I'll give you 6 😉
King Jesus is Right!!!
I recently used my cousins vibration plate in Mexico and afterward I was shocked by how itchy my legs felt, exact feeling after I use my dry brush for lymphatic drainage/ detox/ circulation 😄 pretty cool!
What do you think causes the itchy feeling? I get that same feeling too and thought it was just me.
@@Bizzare77777circulation/blood flow increase due to vibration but could be too much time standing on plate in one go
Its the same as “runners itch”. You can look it up if you want more info.
This must be getting more popular. My gym used to have one and it was no problem getting an opening. Now they have two and they are constantly in use. It used to be old people, now it's everyone.
I don’t have any of the demas but I do know that if I don’t use the plate for a while the next time I get on my skin will get itchy. It takes about two sessions for that to go away.
Love my plate, really shakes out some of the back and hip tension. If I crouch down and hold the plate while it’s shaking then my shoulders and arms get a really good shake/tension removal too.
Have a sideways comment. A Vet Tech trained horse person got a horse vibration system for her aging animals. The cat, dog, a 30 year old pony and herself all enjoy improvement so far. The pony is notably more frisky.
Are you by any chance referring to my favorite, the Clever Cowgirl?
@@wildthunderbird Do enjoy the Clever Cowgirl.
@@robertshrewsbury5067thanks!🐎😊
yes been used on horses for quite a while now. Def helps some issues
I have a Natini vibration plate and use it daily, I'm glad I bought it. Greatly relieved the lymphedema in my legs. Love it!
This is encouraging! Thanks for sharing. How long do you use it daily?
@@GwenMotoGirl I believe the instructions provided could vary depending on the system you purchase. If not included, you can also find specific videos for each brand.
@@ultraalvafa4962 you’re correct! I ordered one and the specific usage was described in detail. Thanks.
I also have a LifePro Vibration Plate. I have had it over a year now and use it almost daily. It is the best exercise equipment I have ever had. It has helped with my lymphatic drainage issues, and balance.
Thanks for the information , great as always.
It says not to use it daily . Only 3x a week. You haven't got any harmful effects from using it daily ?
This has inspired me to dust down my 15 year old plate and start using it regularly. There are some valid and interesting comments being made here, but they aren’t being responded to. I think it’s important that you address them 🙏
I have mine behind my recliner chair to insure no falling I am 71 and love mine for keeping in shape for fifteen minutes twice a day.
My 23 year old son just got me a vibration plate and a rebounder for Mother's Day! I can't wait to get started. I'm desperate for relief at this point. 😢
That’s fantastic. Honor his loving gifts by USING them. He wants you to feel good and be around a long time.
Same gifts given to my mom, also “desperate for relief” but does nothing with the plate or rebounder. Still miserable. 🤦🏻♀️😖
With the rebounder, you only have to move a little, even the slightest tiny movement helps. Use it several times a day for just a few minutes each time and slowly increase the amount over time. I try to do it first thing in the morning and then at night about 2 hours before I go to bed. Even though my legs feel like I'm trying to walk with legs of concrete, I try and walk a mile a day. And I'm going back to water fasting in a few days to try and see if that helps any. It usually cuts all my inflammation down. So hopefully it might help this too. Ugh.
Check out keto and carnivore diet videos
GREAT choices!!!
I have one and use it daily. It’s really makes me feel better all over. I set my speed at 14, but lower if my knees are bothering me. I’ve been using it for several years now and love it.
It makes me wonder if the belt stomach exercise machines that were popular in the 1920's would be effective with central lymphatic drainage.
You know what’s funny? I thought about that recently too.
I thought about that, too! The gym I went to in the mid-70s had one and I laughed at it.
Your channel is so helpful. I can't tell you thank you enough. It's so hard finding a doctor or therapist that knows more than a thumbnail about lymphedema. Your channel has helped reduce my anxiety and stress so much. THANKS!!!
Well said, gigieyre! Kelly's videos have made a huge difference in my life. I do foot & leg exercises throughout the day. Foot & leg pains are almost nil. 😊
Yes, she is really trustworthy. I like the way she presents - it's no-nonsense just good information.
Love mine. Been using for a few years now. Can feel muscles warm up as blood circulates and lymph pumped. And it’s not taxing my energy at all.
Great timing! I’ve been considering a vibration plate. ❤
I use a mini rebounder. Works wonders.
Ah, just mentioned that. How long have you used that?
Highly recommend the rebounder... been bouncing for 45yrs! Same as my parents...best lymphatic drainage than anything. Using the vibration plate 10yrs and not seeing lymph drainage but good for kidney stones
Looking forward to more on this subject! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this! ❤
Thank you for this! I've been looking into getting one, and this answers many of my questions.
Please do more videos on the plate !
Thank you so much!
Ty!!!!
I swear by mine and use it in evening whilst watching tv...
Same. It’s amazing!
I love to hear this! It’s helpful to know for others 🙂
What type of vibration plate do you use and where is your LE located? Thank you!
Hi there. May I ask you what brand vibration plate you use and where your LE is located? TYSM!
How many minutes /hours can you use it for in a day?
Ty! I love my vib board 🥰
I love my vibration plate! Menstruation was left off the list of contraindications, it can make pain cramps so much worse.
It's a good point, but no woman should be doing any exercise while menstruating.
@@lisac1619 vibration plates aren’t exercise if you’re used to actually exercising 😂
I would like to know what speed you use as well
Yes. I’ve seen some creators edit out a small section of a longer video to create the shorts. I don’t prefer shorts, but they can be addicting. V
I’ve had a life pro vibration plate for about six months and I am so happy that I bought it. It really has helped. Stuffing around my knees and ankles has improved.
It makes me fart
@@johnreidy2804 - Too much info.
I love my Lifepro
I have one as well, I haven't used it as diligently as I should but I will begin to use mine as well as my rebounder (I've seen results with the rebounder.)😊
I love the rebounder and glad you have found it helpful! 🙂
@@CancerRehabPTthese whole body vibration was created in the 70’s or so for astronauts to prepare for and recuperate from space travel that causes bone density and muscle changes.
Can you recommend one please .
I have a vibration plate a while, but not using it like I think I would… after this video, I will try use it more constantly.
I’m going to get my aunt one. She’s in her 90s and can’t always walk. But has high cholesterol so this might help with circulation I hope.
Do you suggest any prep for lymph drainage? (Like pressure areas?)
I swear by it ,I have an upright one and do a variety of excercises on it.
Interesting video!🙂 I would love to try this out, but I have fibroids which are tumors so I guess I won’t be able too…! ☹️
Yea I’m tempted to use it specifically to help with my fibroids
It says metal or synthetic implants, as I breast cancer survivor, I have breast implants now, I wonder if it means those as well. When I told my surgeon's office I bought one they said they didn't have an issue with me using it, now it makes me wonder.
Doesn't a rebounder work the same way, if used steadily and gently?
Would you personally use this soon after liposuction?
Will this help with head and neck lymphatic problems.
I have an elbow implant. Would that prevent me from using the vibration plate?
Is Lidodema also helped by this?
Are you saying it cannot be used with an active tumor (prior to surgery)? If so, why not? It says on your list of contraindications not to use with tumors with metastases to the muskuloskeletal system??
It makes my muscles feel worked.
The List of contraindications is vast and could include every senior. Ugh! Mom has a broken L1, L2, and L4 from Multiple myeloma, now in recession and with subsequent lower lymphedema.
I wonder whether she could use the plate while seated in a chair, placing her feet on the plate and set at a low Hz to start?
It’s safe for vericose veins right?
Hi Kelly, I think I recall Planet Fitness having a vibration gadget, or it might have been a sun tanning spa I went to. Meanwhile, I have a Bellicon in the living room. Thanks for the suggestion!
I keep my eyese peeled for a used Chi machine, does similar agitation.
Yes Planet Fitness has a Red Light Therapy machine with a vibration plate. 2 benefits for the price of one.
Kelly, I have 5 angiomyolipomas which are benign kidney tumours. I noted on your list of contra-conditions that people with tumours should not use vibration platforms. I feel sad about this because I was using one to aid lymphatic drainage as I also have lipo-lymphoedema. It did make a difference but now I have stopped using the machine and I am gutted about this. What affect does it have on tumours - please respond. No use going to my GP about this matter as he has told me he knows nothing about angiomyolipomas or lipo-lymphoedema - he rang me last week.
Also, would the same contra-indications apply to rebounders?
If I had shoulder replacement surgery, can I sit and use this on low?
I have one
I always get extremely itchy legs while using -my husband does not
I have some cellulite which is usually issues with the lymphatic from what i have read.
I know this is from the platform yet if i walk and exercise i don’t get itchy.
I think its your circulation bring stimulated, making you itchy
@@crjoki1 yes i do too my lymphatic and circulatory on the left leg is worse than my right do you have issues too ?
Will a Rebounder also help. For odema
Yeah definitely
Hi. Where can I find the list of existing health issues (not ideal to use the plates)? Thanks!
I've found some info by searching for vibration plates on the web.
What exactly does everyone here mean when they says their vibration plate helps them, I sear by it, I love mine, etc.
what relief do you experience?
Drains the lymph, more energy, better circulation, better muscle tone
I just acquired a vibration plate hoping it would help with my severe head and neck lymphedema. What are your thoughts on this. I have exhausted everything known to help combat this relentless lymphedema, even Mayo Clinic said they could not offer anything more than what is already being done, so this is a last ditch effort to get some relief. Kinda feels like it will work.
Self manual lymphathic drainage daily? Excercise? More water? No salt? Changing diet? Supplements? 😅
@@NataliaMenta I do all of that and then some. My next thing is getting a stent in my jugular vein to help with swelling and blood flow.
Did you get lymph nodes removed? I have lymphedema in my face from an injury. Yes a injury…anyhow I know one thing that makes it worse and what makes it better and start to improve n drain and that’s controlling inflammation. Sometimes they say lymphedema is not a plumbing problem but an inflammatory condition. Reduce your inflammation is key. You need to heal your gut n fix microbiome, also stop eating inflammatory foods today. No more gluten and test for food sensitivities. Find a functional medicine doctor to help you reduce inflammation or buy Dr. GUNDRYS BOOK the plant paradox and follow it. Forget the salt idea, it does not contribute to your conditioning worsening. Moderation of Himalayan salt or Celtic salt is fine and we’ll help balance minerals. I’m studying lymphatic system and inflammation and adrenals so intensely these days. Which by the way you should check your adrenal health to to make sure it’s cortisol production is at healthy levels and that will keep balance of all other hormones and systems. If it’s not balance then you have chronic inflammation . Get checked to see if you have co infections like EBV if you do then you have chronic inflammation. If you have chronic inflammation in your body then your lymphedema will not improve. Manuel lymph massage and exercises help but won’t make significant changes until you drastically reduce inflammation in your body. Fix your gut first and most. We all have gut problems causing low grade inflammation unless we fix it. It’s from the foods we eat. Gluten and pesticide cause holes in our gut.
Also after or while your changing eating habits to lower inflammation you could incorporate bromalain enzymes, Rutin, courmin, burdock root, dandelion tea for liver cleanse all for the lymphedema. The first 2 supplements helped with breaking up of the high protein content in the congestive fluid and is also anti inflammatory. There’s also a therapy called electro lymphatic therapy or assisted lymphatic therapy that helps to decongest lymphatic fluid and get it flowing. I see a nurse down in Arizona for this therapy but first is reducing inflammation thru diet and healing the gut. I know I repeated that.
If Mayo Clinic cannot offer you anymore it’s time you try alternative therapies and trust me there is still a lot more you can try and do and that can be done for your lymphedema out there. I could go on and on about so much that might help but one step at a time.
How would it help in the case of arm lymphedema ???
Aids lymphatic flow.
What is better vibration plate or rebounder?
My guess rebounder is better cardio
I have a rebounder and love it. It’s great for many things.
What are examples of metal or synthetic implants?
One would be a pacemaker. I’ve found I can not use a vibration plate, and it is suggested to not use the chiropractic roller bed thing either; because of the magnets.
Thanks for the video. Is it OK to do this bare feet or wearing tennis shoes is better? Thanks.
Should you wear compression socks while using the compression plate?
I think compression with any evercise or activity is ideal (or whenever possible) 🙂
here the thing i deal with lymphedema due to breast cancer. i saw this Body Express Vibration Platform with 2 DVDs (famous person selling on hsn) with the product, i looked at the reviews and many negative were not good review due to the fact these customers got 2nd hand ones that were returned from previous customers, then i looked on amazon...same thing many negative reviews on the products. do you have any advice of getting one that has dvd, exercise bands and that works without sending it back
Natini is Great!! Highly recommended to you
@@Jerry-kf4tp thanks for the info, looked it up and found some that are reasonable
I have neurophy in my feet and calves do you think this can benifit me?
Yes!
What speed should be used please?
It depends on the machine and what someone wants it for. But lifepro has a suggested level of 1-3 for lymphatics, so on the lower end.
Could this be helpful for fibromyalgia, arthritis and neuropathy? I was thinking about getting a rebounder ( small trampoline with or without a bar to hold onto)to just stand and bounce on.
This seems like it might work! ❤
Check the list of contra-conditions in Kelly's video before you start using it. I've had to stop using mine now because I've got 5 tumours (benign) and tumours are on this list as well as a lot of other conditions where people shouldn't be using one. My largest tumour has grown 1 cm in 6 months since I've been using the vibrating platform so now had to stop using it.
@@janettidswell2092 Did you know you had tumors before you started using this, or after? Thank you for sharing and your clarification. How are you doing now regarding the tumors? Have you had biopsies of them?
@@poppylove3673 Thank you Poppy. I started using a vibration plate after a diagnosis of Lipo-Lymphoedea in October 2023 at the age of 75. My GP, who told me he knows nothing about Lipo-Lymphoedema or the 5 Angiomyolipomas I have, told me he didn't think it would harm me. So I used the vibrating plate 3 times a day slowly building the time up and on speeds 1 or 2 as recommended. I know it was working for me for lipo-lymphoedema and was keeping the lymphatic fluid moving and the swelling down, I also felt more energised. On watching Kelly's above video last weekend I was upset to discover the long list of contra-conditions where people should not use these machines. I did not know until then that with tumours I shouldn't be using ir. I am worried that since using it this may be the reason why my largest tumour has grown by 1cm in 6 months - faster growth than previous ultrasounds have revealed. The original, and now largest tumour, was discovered in 2008 and then a further one in 2016. I was monitored regularly until January 2020 when I received a letter from the hospital Consultant, the opening line of which was "How much longer do we continue monitoring these things." The letter told me I was being discharged. The Covid Pandemic may have affected things but in the UK we did not know about it until a month later. I am the patient so that is not up to me but my understanding is that they should have continued to monitor me. In the short time from 2020 when they discharged me, a further 3 angiomyolipomas have developed and I've been diagnosed with lipo-lymphoedema. I've spent most of the last 6 months researching how to look after myself because I'm not getting any help and I don't think anyone cares. I even had to self-refer to the local Hospice to see a Lymphoedema nurse and she told me my GP had misdiagnosed me with just lymphoedema when the correct diagnosis is lipo-lymphoedema and she wrote to tell him. At a time in my life, when I need the NHS, is it going to be there for me? To answer your last question Poppy, angiomyolipomas are benign but at 4cm+ they are less predictable I understand, and from what the medics have told me there is a real risk of haemorrhaging which can be a life threatening situation. I am waiting to be seen by a Urologist so can't say more for now.
Was going to get one bc I have MS but I also have breast cancer and desperately need lymphatic drainage. But it’s a no for tumors?! Doesn’t make sense to me. 🤔
I suspect that the vibration causes certain tumors to circulate in the lymphatic system and metastasize. For instance, Melanoma skin cancer quickly becomes brain cancer when the melanoma drills down into the lymphatic system and gets circulated.
People with cancer who want to do vibration plates or rebound are begging for cancer to metastasize. Your breast cancer would almost certainly metastasize through the lymphatic system this way.
Are these better than the rebounder?
I wouldn’t say it’s better or worse targets different areas. Both have great benefits.
would it help if it was used while sitting down?
You can use it while sitting as well. Until you get used to it, it’s probably best to do it this way first.
I love mine, best money I’ve spent
Hi mam

I used mine yesterday for the first time, is it normal to feel sore the next day.
Ensuring that the comments are positive and "normal" for the initial sessions is essential. It is recommended that you spend up to 15 minutes per week on this.
I never heard of a vibration plate before. It looks like it feels good.
My not tumors?
What about Fibroadenoma
I drive in cars for 6-8 hours a day. I get all the different vibrations throughout the day. Wonder if it helps.....
"Vibration training"??? Training?
Does it help tone legs?
Yes, I don’t use mine as I should but I notice a difference when I do.
Yes it does
Could this cause the brain to slosh around in the skull?
Only if u do a headstand on it 😂
Question: do vibration plates help for arm LE?
As I mentioned, we don’t have specific research to say yes or no, but it is called “whole body vibration” so in theory it may
@@CancerRehabPT thank you so much for getting back to me! I have learned so much from your videos! I don’t actually know how I would manage this without them! I don’t have much help where I live.
You can rest your hands on the vibration plate as if you are doing a push-up or a plank, and then turn the machine on at a low setting. Lots of vibration plate exercise videos show people doing this. They're doing it specifically to strengthen their arm muscles and backs, but I imagine you can use it this way for arm lymphedema.
How many weeks after mastectomy should I wait before using a vibration plate or rebound please? Scar looks terrible, my armpit hurts, it’s swollen.
Ask your doctor.
May be out of your wheelhouse, but do you know why it is contraindicated for Parkinson's? Thank you!
Probably balance issues and the potential for falls and injuries.
Ya i sweat a lot when i use mine to exercise
Will it help restless leg syndrome?
I stopped drinking wine and this issue stopped immediately
@paula-pw7yd that's great. I don't drink wine but drink others once in a while .
It seem that if the client is sitting down it alleviates some of the contradictions. I mean as long as they don’t have a DVT or any acute conditions then they should be fine with using this for their LE lymphedema. I have a patient that is using it and have seen good results in his resistant swelling. He’s largely nonambiulatory and morbidly obese.
We’ve had 10 yrs of info already ,,,, what new info have you bought ?
Why did you wait until it got this bad??😢
I'm hoping she is ok with no eye damage.
Rather hop on a rebounder that works the total body
I walk vigorously at least 3 miles, 4 times a week, and work out at the gym the other 3 days, strength training and elliptical. That's all the vibrations I need!
Balance - I believe. Vibration will force body to adjust, thinking it's falling. But blood flow? Why not just walk, jog, skip, jump? Why pay $$ to replicate what is natural?
maybe get rid of those super cushioned shoes…
