A member asks a question…..
I am a 38 year old female, being diagnosed lip oedema last year. This is a disease that causes fat to get stuck locally, especially in the legs and for some also in the arms. This disease is not to be confused with lymph oedema, which is a disease of the lymphatic system. However lip oedema can evolve into lymph oedema if not treated. Unfotunately the only treatment for lip oedema seems to be pressure or liposuction.
Liposuction seems too extreme to me, especially with the lymph oedema risk and therefore I have found an alternative solution in ultrasonic treatment which appears to implode fat cells. In order to help the fat drainage, I am looking to buy a vibration training machine. So in short this machine would be for vibro training purposes and more specifically fat reducing. At first I had a professional Power Plate in mind, but because of the high price I have taken my time to think about it and luckily I ran into this website.
Can anyone help me answering following questions:
1. is it sure that lip oedema is not a contra-indication for whole body vibration???
2. if Q1 is OK, can vibro training be of help in my specific case to have local fat reduction (legs) + overall fat reduction too
3. what would be a good machine for personal use, knowing that I live in Belgium: so far I have found ‘body coach’ and ‘Lumen’ by Body Coach of Punch Int., Wave (if so, where to get it in Belgium) -> will these machines work for me or else can you advise another make?
Lip oedema is not that well known here in Belgium (don’t know for the ROW), so I would be so happy to get some advise on this…
As you already have noticed, there have been some significant changes at VibrationTraining.net. I thought it would be a good idea to start off with a brief introduction of myself and some ideas about where I would like to see this website go in the future. Some of you have already commented on the look of the site. A stodgy, more conservative look was chosen for a reason. The subject matter of this website is very serious, and to be taken serious it is helpful to have a website that looks more conservative, even if it is boring. What we want is for the information, the articles, the content, the comments, to take center stage, and a boring design doesn’t distract attention from that.
For those of you who were concerned about VibrationTraining.net being bought by an industry insider with an agenda, please set that concern aside. The website was bought by Peter Davis who is a professional web developer and online community builder. The primary goal is going to be growing the site into a community platform where all interested parties, whether industry insiders, consumers, the media, or anyone for that matter, can exchange ideas and learn about vibration training, therapy, as well as the products and service providers in the industry.
As well as re0pening comments, we will be adding new interactive features to the website in the near future. Also, you are encouraged to contact me if you are interested in having an article published on the site. We are actively seeking new and interesting items and information about the field to publish, whether articles, photos, video or other types of media. If you cannot use the site’s contact form, you can email me at ptdavis@gmail.com.
Thanks!
