BONE STRENGTHENING

By increasing the gravitational loading in a functional manner, the Galileo has been proven to stimulate bone growth. The Galileo can be useful for stress fractures, bone healing, osteoponinea, osteoporosis and bone pain.
By strengthening muscles this creates a greater pull on the bone again assisting with bone strengthening.

BALANCE CONTROL

At low frequency the body has to react to the tilting action of the Galileo and hence work hard as one leg goes up while the other goes down, as in walking. There are no benefits to balance control from vertical plates.
Uses include falls prevention, balance retraining in sport specific positions and in rehabilitation after knee and ankle injury or surgery.
