Anyone considered the Inversion Tables where you can control your tilting back and forth? Great for back and neck. Dont know about lymphatic fluid yet.

Soloflex makes a small, whole body vibrator, as a little red motor to be fastened to exercise equipment or already mounted beneath a stable platform on which you can stand, sit, lie, or strike positions to strengthen particular areas of the body. More expensive that the trampoline rebounders, but quite a bit less than the big WBV vibrating units. I like it a lot, even though I haven't room for it on the road.

And yes it is fairly expensive, but if you are not in great health you can do what I think they call the "health bounce" which moves lymphatic fluid and requires very, very little effort. I have one and wouldn't trade it. I am using it to get some strength back after nearly a year of spending most of my day in bed.

If you do a search you'll find a ton of information, many articles, on both the benefits of rebounding, AND the dangers of rebounding on a mini tramp. On a mini trampoline is a "great" way to damage your feet, ankles, and knees. DON'T DO IT!!! But there is no better excercise than rebounding on a good "rebounder" - the kind that usually cost at least 300 bucks and have the right kind of springs and material. I'm not sure how the giant backyard ones measure in this equation - have no experience with them and haven't researched them. Probably, almost certainly, better than the cheap minitramps. But I'm sure there is a range of quality with them as well, some better absorbing and cushioning the stress of the landing than others. Sara Marshall, Some time ago someone on this list gave information on a doctor who advises rebounding but NOT with a mini trampoline. Do you or someone else have his name or the article? Thanks Mary
