Caveat... this ol'mechanic found out the hard way about 'good vibrations' if any of y'all have sustained blunt force trauma, it's best to run away from this or tread v.carefully... It really upsets an already damaged or healing nervous system...the osteopath observed that she could feel the nerves vibrating like a violin string, despite the fact that the last whole-body vibratory stimulation was done 2 weeks earlier! cheers

[ 'Blunt force trauma—when an object or force strikes the body,

often causing concussions, deep cuts, multiple contusions or broken bones.']
