Time Efficient

Whole Body Vibration training is very time efficient with proven physiological benefits after just one minute and a full training routine lasting no more than ten minutes.

Conventional exercise and muscle training requires discipline, considerable time, and countless repetitions. In addition, there is continued concern about the effect of load (weights) on the joints, ligaments and tendons of the body.

Whole Body Vibration therapy has been shown to build bone and muscle without such constraints allowing all fitness levels to benefit from the experience.

 VIBO therapy

Research has been undertaken on Galileo Whole Body Vibration in over 30 Universities and the European Space Agency. All research to date, that has shown a positive effect for Whole Body Vibration has been undertaken on the tilting platform of the Galileo machine.  The researched benefits include:

Muscles
Increased muscle strength and power.
Increased flexibility through muscle lengthening.
Increased tendon strength.

Bone
Increased bone strength - ideal for osteoporosis and osteopenia.

Metabolic
Up to a 460% increase in growth hormone production - essential in repairing and regenerating body tissues.
Up to 7% increase in testosterone production - allowing fast twitch white muscle fibres to recover faster and assisting with muscle strength.
Cortisol levels decreased by 30% - decreasing stress response.

Blood Vessels
100-150% increase in peripheral blood flow - ideal for peripheral vascular disease and diabetes.
Decreased diastolic blood pressure.

Neurological
Reduction in muscular tone due to spasticity.
Reduced tremor in neurological conditions such as Parkinson's.
Increased positioning awareness in stroke, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's.

Function
Decreased low back pain.
Increased balance control in elderly and post ACL repair.
Improved 'get up and go' time in the elderly.
Improved stress incontinence.
