The possibility to precisely control many-body systems at the quantum level has opened the era of quantum simulators. Rydberg atoms held in optical tweezer arrays represent currently one of the most advanced simulator platforms. They are particularly suited for the implementation and study of strongly interacting spin systems. In this talk I will present results on the coherent many-body dynamics in the so-called *facilitation regime*. The focus of my talk is on the understanding of the interplay between Rydberg excitations and lattice vibrations. Using both analytical arguments and numerical simulations, I will show how vibrations of the atoms around their local equilibrium positions can alter the dispersion relation of spin excitations or even leads to their spatial localization.
