Medical Discussion
Power Plate is fitness equipment, and it
should be in the same category as a
treadmill and a leg press when discussing
use.
The most important questions to ask prior
to training:
Are you cleared by your doctor to perform
strength training (applied force)?
Are you cleared by your doctor to perform
cardiovascular training (circulation)?
Regarding Pacemakers:
Are you cleared for strength and
cardiovascular training?
Are you cleared to participate in outdoor
recreational activities that absorb shock?
(For example, water skiiing, snow skiing,
boating, horseback riding, etc.)
Is the pacemaker in the chest or abdomen?
If it is in the chest, avoid push-ups
and front plank.
If it is in the abdomen, there are
no restrictions.
Regarding Pregnancy:
Now is not the time to start any new form
of training.
Regarding Detached Retina and Vertigo:
Sensitivity to vibration is subjective.

Workout Tips
Extending the knee and elbow
joint will cause more vibration
travel. To minimize this effect,
avoid locking the joints and
maintain a soft bend in the knee.
Avoid putting pressure on heels,
knees and elbows, which can
cause additional vibration travel
to the head.
Be cautious of overtraining
as it may be taxing to the
nervous system.
Stay hydrated and keep
sugar level elevated.
Keep feet flat.
Avoid putting your head on
the machine.
Avoid direct contact with your
spine during strengthening
exercises.
