The Galileo stimulates the whole body by tilting slightly around an axle.  The aim is to keep the head & body steady & upright whilst muscles spontaneously contract at a rapidly repeated rate as a result of the body’s natural stretch reflex resulting in their rapid development which would not be possible with conscious contractions.  The Galileo produces involuntary muscular contractions which at 1500 repetitions per minute at 25Hz results in a very strong training effect with increased muscle strength and tone and improved co-ordination.

The science behind the Galileo:

The technology behind Galileo was originally developed in the Soviet Union to treat Cosmonauts who experience bone and muscle wasting as a result of living in zero gravity and has since been refined to enhance the performance of Olympic athletes.  This innovative and ground breaking technology has been subjected to extensive research and studies in over 30 Universities world wide and the European Space Agency. 

The effects of the vibrations can be targeted to specific areas-back, quads, calf, hamstrings, pelvic floor etc.  An intense workout is performed in a brief time, without muscle soreness following exercise. 
You will be assessed by one of our qualified physiotherapists and an individual program will be devised for you to achieve your goals with maximum training effects.

Significant results can be achieved in 10 - 15 minutes, 2x/week for 4-8 weeks.
