The
science behind Whole Body Vibration
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.
Do
you
suffer from?
- Back or neck pain
- Arm or leg pain
- Poor balance
- Difficulties with walking
- Muscular weakness
- Osteoporosis
- Diabetes-Poor Circulation of the legs
& feet
- Poor muscle control
- Incontinence
You
can
use whole body vibration therapy to:
- Reduce/Eliminate Pain
- Improve muscle strength
- Increase joint motion
- Increase muscle tone & muscle mass
- Increase bone density associated with
osteoporosis
- Increase flexibility &
co-ordination
- Improve circulation associated with
Diabetes
- Strengthen pelvic floor muscles and
improve pelvic floor function
- Improve balance & decrease risk of
falling
- Rehabilitate with CP, Parkinsons
- Improve core stability
- Decrease diastolic blood pressure
Conditions
not suitable for
use of whole body vibration or for which programs need to be modified:
- Pregnancy
- Pacemaker
- Acute Thrombosis (blood clots)
- Malignant tumours
- Recent fractures
- Gallbladder or kidney stones
- Metal implants
- Acute inflammation/Pain
- Epilepsy
Whole Body
Vibration can help you:
·
Accelerates Weight Loss
WBV stimulates all cells in the body to function at a higher rate,
which in turn increases the metabolism causing more fuel to be burnt
which helps to accelerate weight loss.
·
Reduces Cellulite
WBV causes increased local circulation to targeted areas, in turn
giving the visible cellulite area a "smoother" look.
· Reduces
Varicose Veins
WBV causes increased lymph drainage, which lowers the pressure in
varicose veins so the valves of the veins can close off.
·
Increases Energy
WBV stimulates all cells in the body, increases blood flow, and oxygen
intake and stimulates metabolism to help flushes out toxins.
·
Increases Bone Density
There are two types of bone cells. Ostioblast (bone maker) and
Ostioclast (bone shaper) Bone loss is due to more Ostioclast than
Ostioblast cells. WBV stimulates more weight bearing exercise and
gravity stimulates ostioblast cells.
·
Improves Muscle Strength
WBV improves muscle strength the same way as regular exercise does.
Vibrations lengthen and shorten the fibers how ever many times per
second that you have the frequency set at, which is more efficient and
increases strength.
·
Enhances Wellness
WBV increases blood flow, lymph drainage, oxygenation of cells, the
release of endorphins, and detoxification of the body.
·
Enhances Detoxification
WBV works from the inside out. Waste products are expelled at a
cellular, lymphatic and excretion level.
·
Improves Circulation
WBV improves circulation through increased blood flow by stimulating
the exercise heart rate.
·
Improves Relaxation
WBV increases circulation, blood flow and oxygen intake. WBV also
reduces cortisol (the stress hormone) and creates and releases
endorphins. It also detoxifies the system, enhancing relaxation.
·
Increases Libido
WBV increase circulation and blood flow and increases HGH and
Testosterone levels. On another level WBV also helps to release
endorphins, detoxify the system and reduce cortisol.
·
Enhances Rehabilitation
WBV assists by allowing new tissues to build and grow, increases
circulation, allows the oxygenation of cells, increases metabolism and
flushes the toxins out of the body at a higher and faster rate.
·
Increases Flexibility
The direct effect of WBV stimulates blood flow to ligaments and tendons
and enhances the stretch reflex.
· Cardio
Effects
Since the muscles are working at almost100% through the use of WBV,
they are burning more glucose and oxygen, therefore pushing the heart
to pump harder and get more oxygen to the muscles
