He went the second time the next day and bought the portable one for $560. He has been on this machine several times a day since and hasn't worn his back brace at all. Also he has not had any leg cramps. I had sciatica last week and got on the machine twice each day for two days and poof! Gone.
We love this machine!

Wow, Mikeandnancy, that's an incredible story.

The second was a machine that had weights attached. I didn't try it so I didn't realize it only ran for 1 minute at a time and hardly had any vibration to it.
The third vibrated too hard... Just about knocked the filling out of my teeth.
I finally figured they aren't all made the same and started standing on them. FINALLY found one that I LOVE! I wouldn't buy another one without standing on it first! A have a girlfriend who has one she loves and doesn't work for me. they all vibrate differently!

Angie, that is so interesting that you tried multiple machines before you found the right one for you. Thanks for the warning.

When I was shopping for mine, hubby and I did visit a Goga studio a number of times. I was interested in testing the brand of machines they use and sell. (My ideal was to have one in our home)
There are various brands on the market and each vibrate a little differently.
The brand Goga had was not my favorite. I tried it on three occasions and the pattern of vibration on that one made me a little nauseous.... but that was just my own experience. Hubby did not experience that effect that at all.
I purchased a Noblerex KI- Platinum (MAHA- USA) which has a triangular oscillating pattern. I am quite satisfied.

Uptown Girl .. I would be looking for a machine to basically do the same as you ... toning, bone density, circulation, sore muscle therapy. And I will definitely be respectful of my new knee before I start test driving machines!
I love TOTV because I am always learning something new. This is a great thread. And the information is all extremely helpful. It's so good to hear testimonials from people I respect.
I can see that there certainly can be benefits from using a Vibration Machine. I plan to start by visiting the Goga Studio, just to get an idea of what is involved before I go out to make a purchase. I'm wondering, does anyone know of a store in The Villages that sells various types of machines, so you can "test drive" a number of different machines before you buy?
