VibePlate® is one of my favorite pieces of equipment. We use VibePlate® in all phases of our basketball strength and conditioning program. The endless exercises and being able to train in all three planes of motion is highly rewarding. I believe every facility should have at least one VibePlate®.

Most notably is the effect vibration has on restoring joint range of motion. I recently had a young lady who tore her quadriceps tendon, requiring a surgical repair. We were having a great deal of difficulty restoring her knee range of motion and she was at risk for developing a flexion contracture and permanently losing her mobility. When we received the VibePlate® she was 10 weeks out from her surgery and stuck at 100 degrees of knee flexion. She was one of the first people we tried on the VibePlate®. We educated her in a series of stretches, and progressed her through a closed kinetic chain strengthening program with fantastic results. She began to gain 3-5 degrees of motion per session and with in 4 weeks had 137` of knee flexion, and her knee felt “normal”. This is only one example of how the VibePlate® has helped our active population. Thanks again.

he VibePlate® gave me the best relief I could imagine. Four years ago after chemotherapy treatment for cancer, I developed diabetes and peripheral neuropathy which gave me constant pain and tingling in my feet and one hand. Everybody I went to said no cure, no relief. I was desperate, I tried everything, studied peripheral neuropathy, even tried acupuncture. I tried everything I could to relieve the pain. With no results. Then I tried the VibePlate®. In just 5 minutes the pain and tingling went away. The warmth came back into my feet and hand. I had to see it to believe it. It has improved my quality of life, there are no words that can describe how I feel after the VibePlate®. I use the VibePlate® every couple of days, and that manages the suffering and pain I had for, four years. Using the railing on the VibePlate® helped bring back normal feeling to my hand, as the railing transmitted the vibration in to my hand. No more pain, no more tingling.

Randy, per our phone discussion we have found when it comes to the use of the VibePlate®, Patients with soft tissue tightness following fractures, sprains, strains, or just a generalized lack of flexibility the plate is very helpful in ecreasing that range anywhere from 30-40 Hz. Thanks again.

The Daemen College Physical Therapy Department uses the VibePlate primarily for research purposes, studying the normal adult and whole body vibration effects on skeletal muscle and nervous tissue flexibility. Future research may include patients with orthopedic problems, balance deficits or gait abnormalities. Notification of current research programs can be found posted on the Daemen College Campus.
