My5 Power Plate, Another Way to Vibrate Yourself Skinny {Luxist}

Jan 1st 2007 8:05AM We have used vibration to "bias" muscle spindles for many years to facilitate tone of very weak or flaccid muscles. We have also seen the deleterious effects on the body of long term vibration (truck drivers before air ride seats). Like most things, anything powerful enough to do good is also powerful enough to do bad. Good refereed information would be welcomed before applying this to my patients, complete with the parameters of how much is good and at what point does it become bad for different classes of patient (osteoporosis patients, athletes etc.) if infact there are positives.
