HOW IT WORKS - HOW IS IT UNIQUE

 

The Galileo is an exciting tool for functional low load strengthening. It is a truly unique concept that has been well proven in studies from universities worldwide.

The Galileo works by tilting on a central axis and so producing a tilting action as it vibrates. The frequency of the tilt and the amplitude can be varied depending on the effect required. The frequency is between 5 and 30 Hz and the amplitude 0-13mm. Low frequencies are used for balance control, medium low for circulation and from 18 Hz up for muscle strengthening. Low amplitude is best for bone strengthening and less strong individuals and higher amplitudes for stronger individuals.
