Hi It's PeppiPatty here,
I have lived experience with my darling partner and it's difficult...day by day to get on with life and staying secure al day. I've been concerned with my health for a few months now and have been thinking about getting a vibration machine for little perk ups during the day......
Has anyone any experience with them?? ARe they worth it??

I’ve heard about those exercise machines. I read an article recently that whole-body vibration can offer some fitness and health benefits, but it's not clear if it's as good for you as regular exercise. It's not known if whole-body vibration provides the same range of health benefits as exercise you actively engage in, such as walking, biking or swimming. Hope that helps.

Have you thought about borrowing a yoga, pilates, or Tai Chi video from your library and giving that a whirl? Even 'easy' poses can be worth trying - like the happy baby pose.

I have used a Chi Machine, they are the ones when you put your ankles on it and it wobbles you. Sounds weird but I really enjoyed it.
Haven't tried a vibration machine.

Not sure @PeppiPatty
I did have a masseur who had me lie in a vibrating capsule ... he did it for an hour before a session ... so my concrete muscles would be easier to manipulate ... designed for jockeys to get weight off ...
