KelBel Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hi Bay I tried one once before (pre-SAH) at a friends gym, but I wouldn't fancy it now. I felt quite unsteady after standing on some kind of 'wobble-board' in a kids playground a few weeks ago... (I clearly thought I was 8 again instead of 38!) so after that I don't think I'd fancy a vibrating machine... I would suggest contacting either your GP or your Neuro-consultant to confirm it is okay to use one though. Please let us know when you find out though.

Louise Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hi there Yes I'd speak to your GP/or neuro before, I know my friend goes on a wobble board she has MS which is different, she couldnt do it anyway said she felt ill. But remember everyone is different so I'd still ask.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandi K Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Sorry Bay, I don't know what it is. It sounds like it would make me dizzy though! It doesn't take much to make me dizzy!!! Walking from one room to another can do it. I agree with the others, talk to your GP. Sandi K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallym25 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) Hello Bay, I joined my local gym around 7 months after my SAH. I was told by the lady there who deals with all the medical issues, Not to go on it. That was even before I was allowed to do their induction class. I must admit I dont fancy the idea of my head being shaken with such strong force even now 2 years on. I would definitely seek advice before trying again. sally. x Edited May 28, 2011 by sallym25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Hi I tried one of these machines a couple of years ago and found it made me feel sick and dizzy and very wobbly. Certainly would not go near one again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
