Whilst vibration plate<\/a> benefits have undoubtedly taken the fitness world by storm over recent years, they\u2019re not for everyone. As with any<\/em> form of exercise equipment, caution must be taken.<\/p> \n \n

In this blog, we\u2019ll explore who cannot use vibration plates. We\u2019d love to say vibration technology is suitable for everyone, but there are certain risks to be aware of. And, as always, safety should be your no.1 priority when working out.<\/p> \n \n

Who Cannot Use Vibration Plates?<\/strong><\/h2> \n \n

Vibrating plates emit powerful whole-body vibrations, causing muscles to contract a huge 50x more than usual. As a result, here are specific groups of people who simply can\u2019t use these devices safely. These include:\u00a0<\/p> \n \n

People with cardiovascular conditions<\/strong><\/p> \n \n

If you have heart disease or suffered a heart attack in the past, vibrating plates should be avoided. This also applies if you\u2019ve experienced a stroke, have a pacemaker, or been diagnosed with a blood clotting disorder.\u00a0<\/p> \n \n

The intense vibrations could aggravate such conditions, and place unnecessary stress on your cardiovascular system.\u00a0<\/p> \n \n

Those with muscle or bone injuries<\/strong><\/p> \n \n

If you\u2019ve recently suffered a sprain or tear, power plates could slow recovery. Increased muscle contractions as a result of intense vibration can make certain injuries worse. Essential stitches could also become dislodged.\u00a0<\/p> \n \n

Pregnant women<\/strong><\/p> \n \n

Very little research has been done to investigate the effects of whole-body vibrations on pregnancy. To be as safe as possible, we don\u2019t<\/em> recommend using a vibration plate if you\u2019re pregnant. In fact, the vast majority of vibrating plate models specifically warn against it.<\/p> \n \n

People fitted with plating or pins<\/strong><\/p> \n \n

If you\u2019ve undergone a procedure to have objects like pins or metal plating fitted, vibrating plates aren\u2019t a good idea. Such fittings could become dislodged by whole-body vibration, causing them to alter their position. This could cause intense pain, and may require further procedures to repair them.<\/p> \n \n

Always Consult Your GP<\/strong><\/h2> \n \n

All medical conditions present themselves differently, with individual cases varying hugely. Whilst the above groups of people probably<\/em> should avoid vibration plates, certain cases will obviously be milder than others.<\/p> \n \n

To be 100% sure, it\u2019s always recommended to consult your GP for detailed advice. As mentioned, vibration plates can provide a huge range of benefits<\/a>. From muscle toning to boosting circulation, they\u2019re definitely worth a try provided you\u2019ve been given the go-ahead by a medical professional.<\/p> \n \n
