Hi friends,<\/p>\n

I’m sitting here at my desk, using my vibration plate under my desk, almost like a footstool.\u00a0 It feels so good, and for me, really helps relieve some pain and pressure I get in my legs when I’m having swelling.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ $\"\"$ <\/p>\n

Because of where my plate is located, I have lots of opportunities to use it throughout the day and it doesn’t take extra time from other tasks so it’s a win.\u00a0 I end up turning it on at the beginning of each day and using it before I shower and put on compression.\u00a0 I get the best movement then.\u00a0 After I’ve put on compression, I use the plate as often as I want while I’m at the computer or enjoying crafts or reading from my office.\u00a0 It’s turned into a tool that helps move lymphatic fluid and just plain feels good.<\/p>\n

Here’s what it looks like when I use the plate WITH compression (also, thanks YouTube thumbnail generator for making my leg look really LONG – LOL!):<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\nThere aren’t a lot of studies about using vibration plates for lipedema, but SO many people who are seasoned patients add the use of vibration into their conservative therapy routines, that we would be remiss to not bring them up.\u00a0 In fact, there’s a facebook group called, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/vibrationforfatdisorders\/\">“Vibration for Fat Disorders”<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/em> that is moderated by a true vibration plate expert who can really answer a lot of questions. She also has a lot of really great information in the pinned posts area of the group for newbies.<\/p>\nHere’s what it looks like when I use the plate without compression – HUGE difference in movement!<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"Using a Vibration Plate with LipoLymphedema without Compression.

Another study showed that vibration needs to be used in conjunction with strength training to get the best results (so don’t think of using a vibration plate as your only exercise for good health!).<\/p>\nAccording to <a href=\"http:\/\/<iframe sandbox="allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin" style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=legslikemin0f-20&language=en_US&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B0794BXVY4&asins=B0794BXVY4&linkId=8a089f3c750b069c4fa107728f05fdf0&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"><\/iframe>\">Total Lipedema Care’s website<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/em>, “Dr. Karen Herbst, personally uses and recommends whole-body vibration as an easy form of exercise and publicly touts its remarkable, game-changing capacity to move stubborn, stuck lymph and boost blood flow.
