Exploring the Effects of Vibration Therapy
Related to Osteoporosis & Age-Related Concerns Continued

Please note:
The following are presented as objective
studies conducted by independent researchers. Good
Vibrations 4 Life Inc. has no affiliation with any of the
following researchers or the publications listed, nor are the
studies presented in any particular order.
This is not intended to be a complete list
of studies, but an additional resource to individuals,
physicians and therapists.
Although some studies may suggest the use
of higher frequencies, Good Vibrations 4 Life Inc. suggests the
use of its vibration therapy equipment at frequencies below 30
Hz. Long-term exposure to frequencies of 30 Hz or more,
for as little as 10 minutes per day, have been shown to lead to
possibly detrimental health effects.
Good Vibrations 4 Life Inc. presents its
oscillating (rotational) vibration therapy GVM TM as a
more pleasant, safe and comfortable alternative to
(simultaneous) vertical vibration therapy machines.

Low-frequency vibratory exercise reduces
the risk of bone fracture more than walking: a randomized
controlled trial
From the article:
"The 8-month course of vibratory
exercise using a reciprocating plate is feasible and is more
effective than walking to improve two major determinants of
bone fractures: hip BMD and balance."
