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

There is a store in LSL that sells a brand, the people at Marion Market sell another brand. You can go to just about ANY store that sells workout machines and they generally sell a couple of brands.
"This innovative new manual demonstrates the application of vibration technology to the treatment of pathologies such as osteoporosis, osteopenia, stroke and different musculoskeletal disorders. It covers pathology on the upper and lower extremities as well as the whole spine. New treatment strategies are practically and logically presented with recommended exercises and accompanying instructions that can be applied using the vibration platforms. Rationale is given for selected vibration frequencies, amplitudes and modes for the duration and frequency of the exercise session. The manual is grounded in evidence underpinned by a thorough literature review (including a balanced view of both pros and cons) and clinical cases. The authors present clinical treatment parameters that are evidence-based and have supportive physiological rationale that is consistent with the nature of the pathology being treated. The text is further supported by online access to over 35 video clips demonstrating the possible treatment exercises."
