Summary
The VibePlate Yoga Plate is a low amplitude, lineal machine that has very large platform options for special use. It has an excellent low and high range of frequencies, but is restricted to only low amplitudes, and therefore low G forces. Overall, the Vibeplate Yoga Plate is best suited to special uses where a large lineal platform can be of advantage, for example assisted walking with spinal cord injury and rehabilitation or yoga based training.
