Anyone else trying vibration plate to get some extra exercise in? This uses muscles more due to the movement of the plates causing contractions in muscles.

Members discussed their experiences with vibration plates as a low-impact exercise option for fibromyalgia, with one member sharing that using a cheaper home model on the lowest setting for 5-10 minutes twice weekly has helped strengthen muscles and support a weakened knee affected by fibro. Several members expressed curiosity about the equipment, while others noted that severe back issues or the intensity of certain models made vibration plates unsuitable for their bodies. A recurring theme was the struggle of formerly active individuals adapting to fibromyalgia's limitations and seeking gentle alternatives that still provide muscle engagement without the stamina demands of traditional workouts.

@A MyFibroTeam Member I actually own a cheap one n have found that it does work the muscles n my butt isn't as flat lol not a good thing if fat which I am. πŸ™„. I find walking from my car to work n back at the end of the day a struggle so any other exercise is hard to do, have a stuffed knee also n find if I stand with perfect posture the vibration plate helps my knee as that leg has less strength due to fibro n it possibly led to the partial dislocated kneecap I have had. I used to be a gym bunny n it's a struggle to not be able to exercise for an hour plus. There are exercises out there to do with fibromyalgia on vibration plate n I guess I was trying to see if anyone has found n had success with them?
