I was at a show today and tried the Pro Ellixe model. I would love to have any additional information you have on these products?

I am considering purchase of a Pro Ellixe. I have Lupus and have tried the machine. It really helps with my inflamed, sore joints and muscles.
This is the only type of machine I have had access to and I know I am able to tolerate. Any advice (good or bad)? Does any one have any experience with this machine - re: dependability. It is a major investment any response appreciated.

December 17th, 2007I heard from more than one source that the ProEllixe has durability problems.
A personal testament: proellixe machines vary infrequency, the heavier the client and the farther foot placement gets from the pivot point the more the machine slows down. I used the proellixe machines for two years , the main problems where: twice I had a run away condition where the machine ramped up uncontrollably, the frequency would change while clients used the machine, sometimes the change would be only 1 hertz, sometimes there would be a droop of what felt like up to 5 hertz. From a studio standpoint I did not feel comfortable training clients like this.
I never had a break down.
I did get good toning, and core muscle development training on this platform though.

The Pro-Ellixe is a good home/professional unit, and a good way to get into vibration therapy. But i would not consider it a Vibration Training model.
The price though would put me off as you outgrow these units very quickly if used as a training tool. So far no-one has produced a home unit I would endorse. Sorry guys.
But most of the lighter units are great fo pain reduction, flexability, pelvic stability, incontinance and ostoeporosis.
