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.
