Galileo Body Vibration

 

The Galileo consists of a vibrating platform that you stand on or perform exercises on.  The movement of the plate stimulates the body’s natural “stretch reflex” which causes a spontaneous muscle contraction – this occurs at an intensity and speed that is not possible with purely a conscious contraction.

 

 

The Galileo can be used to improve:

 

  • Muscle strength
  • Balance
  • Flexibility
  • Core stability
  • Bone density
  • Postural control
  • Circulation
  • Pelvic floor function
  • Pain levels
  • Reduce risks of falls

Significant effects can be achieved with an exercise time of only 8-15 minutes, 2 times per week for 4-8 weeks

 

The Galileo is best used as a part of specific exercise program to help achieve your training goals.
