Vibration Therapy

Excessive vibrations in occupational settings, such as truck driving and in jackhammer work may be harmful to the human body. However, these kinds of vibrations are not at all comparable with Galileo's vibration: Galileo's vibration differs completely in frequency, amplitude, application time, oscillation shape and also the fashion of force transmission into the human body is completely different.

The patented movement of the Galileo training platform is a seesaw movement rather than a simultaneous up-and-down of the right and left side. This makes the Galileo movement a partial circular movement affecting the left and right body part alternately - adopted from human gait pattern.

Compared with truck driving and work with heavy tools there are no harmful high frequencies applied in Galileo-Training. Galileo's elaborate mechanical construction guarantees a constant, pure sinusoidal force transmission into the body, whereas only the set frequency and amplitude (chosen by the foot position) affect the body. Galileo's frequencies are derived from muscle physiology and Galileo-Training is individually adjustable via frequency and amplitude settings.

Contraindications

For safety sake, whole body vibration is contraindicated in the following conditions

► pregnancy
► acute thrombosis
► acute inflammation of the musculoskeletal system
► malignant tumours
► unfixed or unstable fractures
► gall, bladder, kidney stones
► epilepsy
