Last autumn I was experiencing very painful hormone related thrombo phlebitis in my legs which would last for weeks at a time - the GP could only advise rest and taking regular ibubrofen, so I was looking for an alternative. A local salon was offering courses on a vibration plate which amongst other things was supposed to help varicose veins. I was sceptical, but felt it was worth a try. Firstly, in the three and a half months since I tried it, I have only had one day of discomfort in my legs and other pleasant side effects include a more toned stomach and an improvement in my pelvic floor muscles (this has been achieved through regular use ie. at least 3 times a week). After paying for 2 courses at the local salon, I started to look at the option of owning a vibration plate and eventually selected the Gym Master - I am delighted with it. It is fantastic value for money and it seems to be as effective as the salon machine, which I imagine to be a much more costly product. Delivery was quick and reliable and I am very happy to own it.
