The scientiffic papers basically said that it works due to the vibrations providing a moderate level of shock to the muscles, this simulates a weight training effect, even to the point where the body produces increased hormones to respond to the stress. I just looked up the price of one of these machines and I was shocked to see the price at $6000 US dollars!!! DAMN!! It's mostly used by rehabilition centres and good health clubs due to that high price tag.

You still have to do exercises on it, but if the trainer or therapist does not know what they are doing the vibe platform can shock your body too much and cause you to pass out. We use it mostly to supplement athletes regular workout or rehab routines (along with ROM machines) but its by no means an end all solution.
