The Optimal Body 394 | Can a Vibration Plate Effect Muscle Loss, Bone Loss, and Pain?
In this episode of the Optimal Body Podcast, Doc Jen and Dr. Dom, both doctors of physical therapy, dive into vibration plate benefits and their role in optimal health. They explore whether these devices can support functional independence, address pain, and contribute to women's health—particularly around muscle loss and bone strength. The conversation also touches on the mind-body connection, how vibration plates might impact issues like plantar fasciitis or hip flexors, and why critical research evaluation is essential. The docs discuss how tools like vibration plates fit into broader health optimization strategies, including exercise, HIIT, and nutrition, and remind listeners that while these devices can be helpful, they should complement—not replace—fundamental movement and physical therapy principles for true longevity and body love.
