I have been able to stop using a cane, and with long-term use, am slowly regaining a normal walking stride instead of a "gimp limp". There is a ton of information on the web and videos on YouTube. I will post links to the best "layman's language" articles I have found in a later comment.
Are any fellow Freepers out there using this tech, and what has been your experience?

Makes my nose tingle when I stand on it. It’s supposed to get soreness out, but never used it for exercising.
Believe it or not, but that is actually a known and mentioned effect. Probably due to increasing blood circulation.
"It’s supposed to get soreness out, but never used it for exercising."
My wife has, for our entire 51 years of marriage, suffered from muscle cramps. Muscles will just decide to "twang up" and get as tight as a guitar string. I can give her relief by massaging, but since beginning WBV, her problems are DRASTICALLY reduced.
Probably true. "I" didn't invest my bucks in a machine without doing a LOT of hard-core research on the subject. YMMV.
Of course, a WBV plate looks nothing like your "humourous" posting.
All right, once was enough. Twice is abusing civility. Get lost.
Interested! Where did you purchase yours?
My grandmother had one when I was a kid. She was fat and it didn't help her with that. We loved to fool around with the machine. If it helps with your arthritis that is great to know.
isnt she pretty?!
I may check it out. Not a lot of people use it. Someone told me they do calf raises on it and it works well.
I think that lass is hitting the Big O Jackpot. “Make it stop!!”
Got mine from Amazon. It was relatively "pricey" but nowhere near what the author of the article cites. I am satisfied with the quality. I wanted a more robust machine, as I am 210 lbs. Will Freepmail you a link.
what device do you use
I don't suffer from it. My WBV device:
