I've been reading about vibration treatments and machines by Juvent. The early reports sounded good as far as restoring bone mass, but I didn't see anything dated after 2005.

Is this therapy available anywhere? The machines are very expensive and not something I could afford. I have a chronic knee problem and walking is a problem right now and has been for awhile. I'm concerned that I'm not getting the benefit of any weight-bearing exercise.

My doctor suggested I walk 30 minutes a day, so I'm once again trying physical therapy for the knee, but it's not responding. I wonder how others have solved similar problems with getting enough exercise.

Thanks!
Suzanne
