Lloyd,
My husband has been suffering with fibromyalgia for 20 years. We are desperate for any help so I am affraid we are easy targets for salespeople. What do you know about the T-Zone Vibration company and their machine?
Thanks,
Kristy

Telling a little about yourself and where you live helps us to guide you to what is available.

On weightloss, giving up exercise/movement while continuing to eat the same as before will cause weight gain. Think of your food as fuel, you need the right type and amount for your lifestyle. To maintain good health you need to do some exercise daily, just talking a walk is good if you can’t manage more.

There is quite a bit more to come and I am building on it everyday. I have also begun to record some of the therapy sessions on my flip. I am not sure if video is available on this site, but that should really make things much clearer. Next segment should be up this week.

Hi Gabriel,

I am interested in hearing more about the pain/ training relationship.

Your article was very informative, and I look forward to hearing more.

I would imagine that any study demonstrating a relationship between WBV and pain would have something to do with “gating” the pain through sensory feedback mechanisms. Of course, it is well understood that improved local muscle activity, improved flexibility, and circulatory improvements would all be potentially beneficial for reducing pain in a given region as well. These are the things that require a bit more in-depth research.

Rittweger et al. published a study a few years ago showing a wbv protocol on Galileo was as effective statistically as an exercise program on MedX equipment for helping to reduce non-specific low back pain. I wonder if this could be related to the Pain Gate Control Theory?

Thanks Larry. I will take a look. I do believe I have already come across one or two studies that were considering these WBV applications. I am always looking for more support though so please don’t hesitate to send any references you may have come across. Although this is starting to sound a bit repetetive, this topic is covered in the 3rd segment of my article titled, “Neuromuscular Re-Education” which I believe should be up in 1-2 weeks.
