The VibePlate® has become a cornerstone in my Parkinson’s Disease rehabilitation program. Parkinson’s Disease is a disease of aging. Therefore, we deal with many pre-existing orthopedic conditions. As expected, implementing whole body vibration training with the VibePlate® has acutely and chronically improved pain and range of motion in my patients with osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease. However, I have been amazed at the pronounced effect the VibePlate® has on stride length, freezing and dystonia in my patients. Although I purchased the VibePlate® for the orthopedic benefits, I now used it with all my patients. I highly recommend the VibePlate® for any practitioners working with Parkinson’s patients.
