Really interesting round up, Alicia. I had not encountered the vibration device...curious how you learned of it? I would have liked to see a more comprehensive outcome trial (researchers measured change at L1 vertebrae) but the technology seems promising for hips an low back density

Thanks, Ellen! I think I originally read about the device in a Guardian article, but subsequently heard about someone in my community who is using one. I'm keeping my eye on this thing, as it seems to have astounding rates of success and could be wonderfully helpful for women everywhere (but jeez, I hope it can be covered by Medicaid soon!). Appreciate your perspective on all of this :)
