Re: Opinions on VibraFit....

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I don't know anything about the Vibra machine, but did check out the

site. Thought I would suggest a rebounder for less than the $400

Vibra. With the rebounder you exercise every 'cell' as well, as

every muscle, as well as getting the lymphatic system up and

running. Might be something you want to think about. Can't remember

the cost of a good one, tho. Seems like it's around $250 or so.

Hi, ,

I'm new to this list. I also own and sell the TurboSonic Whole Body

Vibrational Exercise and Therapy machine. I can't comment on the VibraFit

since I've not tried it. But the benefits of vibrational exercise are

real. They've been great for me. Noticeably more energy, much less

cellulite, more muscle in my arms and legs, more relaxation and better

mood, among other things.

I heard that Dr. Dean Edell was speaking on the radio about them just last

weekend. He actually recommended people stay away from the lower-cost

($500) models and go with the heavy-duty ones. The TurboSonic is probably

the highest quality machine and runs for $13,000. It's extremely sturdy

(it weighs almost 400 lbs.) It also works based on sound waves versus

mechanical vibration, so it's smooth and fluid on the body, and the

vibrations reach almost equally at the head as at the feet, which is

unusual for a WBV.

For what you want, you probably would do better to pay $300 for an

excellent rebounder. Just don't raise your heels off the surface. That's

the mistake most people make. You'll need to do it for much longer, say, a

good two hours, to get the benefits you'd get in 10 minutes of

vibrating. But half an hour is all most people really need. I've been

doing a lot of deep cleansing and healing, so the Turbosonic really gets my

lymph moving and my drainage going. It's the ultimate lymph-mover and

blockage-opener. A friend who had pain and swelling in one of her breasts

did 7 minutes on it, and the pain and swelling went away entirely. That

was 3 months ago with no sign of return.

Also, you'd want to try it out a number of times before buying any WBV

machine, especially with your health conditions. The TurboSonic company

claims that their machine helps to balance hormones, I believe because it

helps clear out toxins, increases oxygenation, and helps the body work more

efficiently overall. Weight loss is pretty much universal with WBVs. Back

pain can decrease, but you want to pay attention to your posture and not

slump while on it, but use good posture that will strengthen the muscles

around the spine. Blood pressure is an unknown. No obvious reason to be a

contraindication, but since the machines increase circulation a lot, there

may be a slight temporary increase in blood pressure for you while you're

on it.

For hip and back pain check out egoscue.com

He has a great group of exercises to help. Also has a call in radio

show every saturday. I highly recommend his book " Pain Free "

Got rid of my knee pain experienced when walking up an down steps in

no time at all. Just did a few exercises to change the tip of my pelvis.

Thank you for the tip - I am already doing similar exercises prescribed by my

chiropractor,

although mine are with an exercise ball.

I am really looking for comments on the VibraFit.

Hi, Nadine - thanks for the comments! But $13,000 and 400 pounds in weight is

definitely out of

the question for me. First, as we are planning to retire, the budget won't

handle it - and

second, since we're going to hit the road in our RV and I'm also trying to put

together my health

maintenance stuff to take along, I have to be concerned with how much everything

weighs, and its

portability.

I have a rebounder already (a good one, that folds up for travel). I can

certainly pick up the

time I spend on it.

I'd be very interested in trying out one of these WBV machines. Is it possible

for you to find

out if there's a facility in the Chicago area (preferably near north or west

side, or western

suburbs), where I might go and try out this machine for a few visits?

If you can pass that info along, I'd be very appreciative!

I hope you realize that I was trying to talk about WBVs in general, and

just referring to my experiene with my Turbo as one example, and NOT to

sell you on the TurboSonic. I know it's outside of the budget of most

folks. It's a no-brainer choice for health care practitioners who charge

per use or bill to insurance since they make money on it.

To learn what's in the Chicago area I recommend you call Sonic Health

Systems or write them --see their contact info on the website

www.sonichealthsystems.com.
