People suffering from the painful and debilitating disease of osteoporosis may have a reason to celebrate in the not too distant future because preliminary findings on ‘Vibration Platforms’ appear encouraging. Scientists conducting research on this concept have found no evidence of medical help from these machines, but anecdotal evidence says that there may be potential osteoporosis relieving benefits of Vibration Platforms.
Instructions
1. Before purchasing a vibration platform, consult your orthopedic surgeon. He will advise you on your condition, the exercises necessary, or whether you can benefit from a Vibration Platform.
2. If you are post-menopausal or middle-aged, undergo a bone density test before buying a Vibration Platform. It should also be noted that according to some experts, (see resources for links), Osteoporosis Vibration machines are still in the early stages, and full results for persons with osteoporosis are not fully known. Your orthopedic consultant may advise which parts of your body need to be exercised. This will help you select a Vibration Platform that’s most suited to your condition. Moreover, a later test can also indicate whether there’s any improvement in your bone density.
3. An x-ray of the affected part of your body is also recommended. Your orthopedic consultant can prescribe the type of x-ray you need. This is important, as using the wrong model of Vibration Platform can aggravate your condition, affect your spinal column, neck or head.
4. Visit a fitness equipment showroom and select a Vibration Platform that has features which suit your specific medical condition. Before buying, test different models to decide which one feels most comfortable.
5. Before starting your vibration exercises, read the instruction manual thoroughly. Take careful note of the do’s and don’ts, to derive maximum benefits from your Vibration Platform.
6. Exercise for no more than 10 minutes daily, 5 days a week. Maintain correct posture during your exercises, as advised for your specific medical condition.
