I had a fall and broke my upper humorous bone. Because I am 80,, my Doctor expected a slow healing process. He was amazed at my seven week X-ray which showed that my bone had healed so quickly that I no longer needed him. He said to use the arm with no restrictions. I use the platform regularly and am sold on its benefits. Thank you for all your work. Kaye from Vancouver Island

I really appreciate this discussion. I have a very low intensity platform that I was going to give to my parents who are in their 80s. I purchased the platform for myself but is too gentle for me. My plan was to see if my parents could use it because they have settled into a very sedentary lifestyle. This is not the aggressive ones you see in the stores nowadays but you can definitely feel it. I think I will give it to them and monitor them daily. My Hope Is that this will stimulate something in them not only physically but mentally. They literally just sit on the couch and watch TV all day and night. This thing is the only device is the only thing I can think of that they can do while watching television.

My husband & I (healthy 60s) use the Marodyne LiV and Greg's parents (healthy 85 and 90) do, too. Shipped a couple months ago; built in Germany. I use it 10 minutes 2-3 times a day spaced 3.5- 4 hours apart. The amount of vibration is specifically designed for effectiveness and safety. More aggressive vibration is not necessarily good, and some research says it can be harmful. - - Audrey in Chicago

Thank you for the very informative interview. I live in Australia and purchased a vibration platform today, made in Canada with curved edges for higher intensity. I would just like to clarify what numbers constitutes low intensity so I can get the therapeutic exercise for my osteoporosis and osteoarthritis please. I take prolia 6 monthly but only was prescribed it after my diagnosis which I was unaware that it could have slowed the procession to osteoporosis. I fell from an office chair with wheels on before I was diagnosed with OP and put my hand down on a hard floor to instinctively try to stop injury and fractured my radius in 7 places requiring surgery. I am now told I have a 1 in 3 chance of a fracture if I fall. Any helpful information you can give me regarding use of my platform would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you.

I had high hopes for the platform, for easing my torn rotator discomfort and TMJ. My machine can move side to side, up and down, or just vibrate. While in some respects it feels good to use, I am noticing problems with my ears during and after use which might keep me away from using it. It also seems to make my TMJ worse. Vibration plates me be a godsend for plenty of folks, but perhaps for some they can be more harmful than beneficial, increasing ringing in ears and vertigo for those who are reporting such side effects as well as other negative results.

I use the low Intensity platform at the Shiley Fitness Center in Torrey Pines. It is good for improving balance and promoting lymphatic flow in the legs. Low frequency vibration likely stimulates the bones to promote increased bone strength and density. I didn't understand this machine 15 years ago. After my Dexa scan, I did a lot of research. I wish that I had used the platform 15 years ago. Stimulating fast-twitch muscles in the legs improves balance and circulation. Just those two benefits are worth it at age 75. I also take Forteo and supplements. Older men break their hips and get pneumonia and Covid-19. Your chance of dying from that exceeds that of women's mortality from a fractured hip. Older men need a Dexa and FRAX calculation to assess risk. More is NOT better as far as vibration is concerned. I also get early morning sunlight while shadows are long. Near infrared light stimulates mitrochondria and even bone stem cells and osteoblasts.

I would avoid the medication if at all possible. Too many side effects and dangerous possibilities not to mention that as soon as you stop taking the medication, you loose the bone mass that you might have gained from the bisphosphonate. By the way, you don't necessarily gain bone mass from bisphosphonates but it will slow down osteoclastic activity and I believe strengthen the bones. I would look into nutrition, exercise plan from a trainer, supplements and the vibration plate.

Barbara, this product (from what I see of his knock-off competition at Amazon) has been out for awhile & I don't see the inventor, this Dr. Rubin interested in helping any of us that suffer from Osteoporosis/penia by now that can't afford it. No signs of that whatsoever. Did you know that Industrialist and car manufacturer, Henry Ford at first made his vehicles so that only the rich could afford them but then realized he would be better off personally if more ppl could afford his invention. So, Ford priced his new invention where even his own struggling employees could all afford his cars. It changed our world!!! Some ppl are just in this for profit. This doctor could reach out to major manufacturers and have it reproduced so that those who don't have the money--like you & me, could more easily afford it. Coming to YT as a 67yo Osteopenia sufferer, I have been soaking in all these comments from desperate women & some men looking for affordable ways to save themselves from suffering. Absolute suffering that we are damned if we don't take the poison big pharma medicines and we REALLY damned if we take them!! I see a couple of doctors that do nothing but try to promote their own sites for $$$$ they get from subscribers on YT. They have nothing new to share but more confusion. I see by now, this Dr. Rubin is no different. I don't see any signs he has any concerns to help a desperate growing group of humanity here. Rubin is more concerned with profit. I would love to see PROOF I was wrong.

Hi Dawn. ANY implant (including total joints) have the same 'answer' to those individuals wondering about low intensity vibration... that the 0.4g acceleration (and deceleration) is far less than the acceleration of walking (and deceleration of heel strike while walking)... which are about 1.2g (and -1.2g)... while running (w/ an aerial phase) can slightly exceed 2g. If you are not so worried about exercise, there is no reason to be too overtly concerned about the Marodyne LIV. All that said, put it into context of a HIGH magnitude vibration (low setting at around 8g)... that would shake fillings out of your teeth and not recommended.

If I use localized vibration therapy, let's say using a massager gun with same intensity, does it give the same result as whole body vibration plate?

It will not.

@@margaretmartinpt - thanks! I'm not sure if I should get the scale or wait for the belt. I was just dxd with osteo (-T3.0) and want to turn this around as much as I can. Always have been athletic, but cycling and not the right weight training, and it is impossible to find a therapist/trainer at my gym or elsewhere that deals with osteo, like the Bone Clinic in AU does, so the plate might help suppliment that. Thanks!

I would like to experience low intensity vibration therapy. I have interocular lens implants from cataract surgery. I understand the danger posed by the higher intensity vibration plates and interocular lens dislocation. Is low intensity vibration safe for people who have had interocular lens surgery?

I appreciate your work Margaret, but I don’t understand your dismissal of this question. I have a Sleep Number bed that came with a vibration setting. (No, it is not coin operated like the ones they used to have in cheap motels.). I believe the sales gimmick was that it is supposed to help with circulation and to help you relax before going to sleep. If memory serves, it has two settings (low vs. high). I have only used it once in the 4 years I have had the mattress, but after watching this interview about Low Intensity Vibration Therapy I too am curious if this Sleep Number feature would have the same (or similar) effect as the vibration platform. I have used the platform at a chiropractor’s office in the past, but since COVID I have stopped going to their office. Since I already have the bed, it sure would be a more cost effective option if this feature has similar benefits for bone health compared to investing in a platform for home use. Thanks so much.

So this machine vibratrim 202+1 is not low intensity enough right? It’s higher than 1G Maximum power: 1.5 HP Input voltage: 110 Volt 60Hz Input power: 200W Speed setting: 20 Amplitude of oscillation: 0-10mm. Amplitude (spiral): There is no amplitude for the spiral. It only moves horizontally 2mm. There is no dual vibration on this unit. G Force: 1.5 - 7.5 Gs

In the section where the two of you are discussion why older bodies respond differently to exercise than younger ones, he mentions osteoclasts, which trigger the breakdown of bone. I'm wondering what the function of osteoclasts are, as I assume they have some function that has benefits. Am I wrong about this?

According to Clinton Rubin, the Mesenchymal stem cells in the bone marrow can grow to tendon cells, bone cells or whatever cells the body is in need of. If this is the case, I wonder if Marodyne LIV can heal knee inflammation and knee osteoarthritis.
