Hexaplate Vibration Board 330 lb. weight limit and up to 120 speed - this smaller plate really can get that body moving and I feel it is best for lymphatic drainage if you also don't want to do workouts on it. This is one I want to get for under my desk as I'm sitting all day to do my feet and calf's with. The waver vibration board is bigger so refer to that one if you are also wanting to do squats and other workouts

This is my personal chair - with one total knee done and my other knee with no Cartlidge I'm thinking for the future - I've already had to share with the dog and found both my sons snoozing in it at different times - its very very comfortable. My video is on Amazon or on Youtube as well
JIKFRIMA Dual Motor Lift Recliner Chair
Pics 1 and 4 are my mom's chair - has been amazing for her. I only bought the other brand for myself as it was bigger and the same price. You can buy Mcombo on Wayfair as well, but their prices are higher than Amazon. I will tell you that as an influencer I've seen several people buy different cheaper chairs and then return them so becareful and I do suggest the DUAL MOTOR options - both my chair and moms chairs are whisper quiet. Either brand is amazing
