The Rever Rundown with Mimi Deal
We need to talk about vibration plates. In this episode, I’m breaking down everything you need to know about whole body vibration plates because they are all over my Instagram feed and I was so close to buying one. So before I dropped the money, I did what I always do, I went down the research rabbit hole so you don't have to. I walk you through what whole body vibration plates actually are and I break down every major claim you've seen on social media: strength building, balance, bone density, metabolism, and lymphatic drainage. I also talked to a physical therapist friend of mine, and we are on the same page: the data just isn't there yet to recommend these devices broadly. What I found interesting in my research is that vibration therapy actually has legitimate clinical roots. The problem is that the professional-grade equipment used in those clinical settings is very different from what's being sold to you on Amazon. Most consumer devices don't even list their Hz frequency, which is a major red flag, because the frequencies that showed any benefit in research tend to be on the higher end. Spoiler: I’m not buying one. But I’ll tell you exactly what studies say, who might actually benefit, and what to look for if you still want one. And as always, if I ever change my mind, you’ll be the first to know.
