Vibraslim tables

So Vibraslim tables if you arent sure are plates that you stand on that supposedly aid weight loss and help people with joint problems.
My mother uses them and i am interested in trying
i have asked her if they shake head and neck and she said no

would it be ok to use these? Its like 10 min session 3-4 times a week

opinions?

  Ah, well trust me, it is the same type of thing...I went with my DD when she was little so it has been a few yrs....but, I do recall the sensation of  feeling like I still had the skates on after I took them off....may have been the vibration...who knows....

I certainly wil!

Hope its ok and it does work ...

Hard to find an exercise that doesnt give me head pain, this seems to cause no straining, but the only way I will find out is by standing on one.
I hope it doesnt cause the effect I get when getting off a treadmill... I hate that

  Well good luck...I have a full body massager that vibrates and it always bothered my head and vision....

  I know I do have cerviocranial instability and that can play into it, but I never liked bumpy rides either....

  Do let us know if this works without side effects

The possitions are just suggestions I think, like the push up looking one, I wouldnt do cause it clearly jiggles your head.
I dont really have a problem with "jiggling"
Going to follow my mother one day and ask to test I think

It has 20 settings or somthing like that, sticking to low settings wouldnt be as jiggly it seems

Jiggly my word of the day it seems lol

  Let me look into this, I have never heard of it....but will see what I can find out.
  Ok...well in looking at what it does and how it works, I do not see this as something that will work for us....

I say this bcuz I know how I feel riding in a car on a bumpy road and I know I can not hold onto something that is moving like that and it puts pressure on the neck and shoulders for many of the positions they use...

  That is JMHO...and I would ask ur dr, but really feel this is not going to be a good thing for a chiarian.
