HOW IS GALILEO DIFFERENT TO THE OTHER PLATE?

The Galileo is the only tilting form of Whole Body Vibration because the concept is patented. As such we are truly different from the more common vertical plates. The tilting platform simulates the action of walking where one hip is up while the other is down. This means all actions on the Galileo are functional to the human.

It must be noted by the reader of research papers that most of the Whole Body Vibration research has been performed on the Galileo. Results will vary considerably between the Galileo and vertical plates. All research papers on this web site involve research on the Galileo. We have not included other research as the results are not the same and the results on one plate cannot be assumed to occur on a different plate. Most other plates quote Galileo research to back claims for the effectiveness of their plates. When the reader is reading other papers it is important to firstly ascertain whether the study was done on a vertical or the tilting Galileo platform.
