When considering any new exercise equipment or routine with osteoporosis, it's essential to consult your healthcare provider first. They can assess your individual bone density, fracture risk, and overall health to determine if vibration plates would be safe and beneficial for you.
Generally, safe exercises for osteoporosis include:
* Weight-bearing activities like walking
* Resistance and weight training
* Swimming and water exercises
* Gentle stretching and yoga (avoiding forward bending)
