In this video, Maryke takes a look at what the research is saying about full body vibration. Does it actually work, and how should we be using it?

Here are some full body vibration plates that have the frequency and amplitude capabilities that I recommend in the video:
✅ VT007: 15 Hz 40 Hz / 0.7 mm 3 mm: https://geni.us/WRWjm
✅ Rumblex 4D: 4 Hz 40 Hz / 1 mm 12 mm: https://geni.us/Nxhozuq
✅ RelaxaVibe: 4 Hz 40 Hz / 1 mm 12 mm: https://geni.us/G1Wp
