The My 5 has been a protective device for me. In 2012 I had a fall while running and shattered my distal radius. With enhanced nutrition and once I was able to slowly begin using the My 5, recovery became an ongoing process with great outcomes. The surgeon was amazed at my level of healing. Circulation is crucial for recovery from injuries.
I have had falls where bones should have been broken because of my age. I believe I was saved from more serious injuries because of my use of the My 5. Living in Chicago, winters can be rough with ice patches, and I have maneuvered on ice and balanced on one leg because of my stability practice on the My 5.
In 2016 I believe I had COVID before anyone knew what it was. I blacked out and when I woke up I dragged myself to my bed. I did not have Alexa set up, my Apple Watch was not nearby, and I had dropped my phone. Needless to say I was trapped for three days and three nights before someone found me.I was out of commission for four to six months. My entire core was compromised. My back did not break, but it was a very hard fall. Because I couldn’t move, doctors said I could have had a stroke or even permanent kidney failure.
I have been an advocate of holistic health for 50 years. I am sure my nutritional support played a role in the healing process, but I could not use the My 5 for six to seven months. It has taken three years for me to begin feeling like myself again.
My weight increased among other factors, but the My 5 became an important part of my recovery. When you recover from an injury like this, energy is depleted because the body has been traumatized and healing takes time.
When I started My 5 training again I could only perform a few movements while sitting in a chair in front of the plate. I focused on slow leg stretching and seated push-ups using only static movements.
I have always been focused on prevention. Power Plate devices are amazing for both prevention and therapy. Blood flow is crucial, especially as we age. I truly don’t know what I would do without the Power Plate devices.
They have always been state-of-the-art. Customer service is excellent and their research studies are always updated and informative.
Thank you!
